Welcome to ProActive Legal, an Australian law firm located on Collins Street in Melbourne. We are a highly reputable establishment specializing in immigration law, making us a point of interest for individuals and businesses alike. With over 37 years of combined experience, our team of dedicated Migration Lawyers and Migration Advisors (RMA) are well-equipped to handle any immigration matter.

Our Principal Lawyer, David Gu, is renowned as one of Australia's leading experts in immigration law. He holds the prestigious accreditation as a Specialist in Immigration Law, a distinction achieved by only 46 lawyers accredited by the Law Society of New South Wales. This accreditation showcases our expertise and ensures that we provide the highest level of service to our clients.

At ProActive Legal, we understand that the immigration process can be complex and challenging. Whether you are aiming to reach a migration goal or facing a complicated immigration problem, we view it as a journey. Our team possesses the qualities of being forward-thinking, proactive, creative, and confident in their expertise, enabling us to unravel the intricacies of Australian immigration laws and provide practical, innovative, bespoke, and strategic solutions.

With offices in both Sydney and Melbourne, we are well-positioned to handle a wide range of Australian visas and citizenship matters. From simple applications to complex cases, we represent our clients in visa and citizenship applications, defend against visa cancellations and business sponsorship sanctions, and handle reviews and appeals in tribunals and courts. Additionally, we have experience in appealing to the Minister for Immigration and other government agencies.

We take pride in supporting our community, particularly the vulnerable and disadvantaged, by providing pro bono immigration advice through referrals from legal and community resource centers. It is our commitment to making a positive impact and helping those in need.

At ProActive Legal, we approach our work with professionalism, ethics, and intelligence, all with the goal of delivering the results our clients desire. Whether you are at the beginning of your migration journey or facing obstacles along the way, we are here to guide and lead you to success.

Some of the visa subclasses we specialize in include the Subclass 482 Temporary Skilled Shortage (Skilled) visa, Subclass 400 Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) visa, Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa, and Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa.

It is important to note that being awarded the title of "accredited specialist" is the highest recognition a solicitor can achieve in Australia. The Law Societies of Australia have stringent assessment programs for all specializations, including immigration law. To become an accredited specialist, solicitors must meet specific requirements and undergo various examination stages to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in their chosen field of law. This accreditation is highly esteemed, and news-worthy due to its difficulty to obtain.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team may not always work from the office. However, we remain dedicated to providing exceptional legal services and can be reached at our contact details below.
