Expert Australian Immigration Advice
Humble Beginnings to Making Impact
Migration Ways was founded in 2014, by Rebecca Santaera (MARN 1173748) and Alberta Miculan (MARN 1277789). Alberta is an Italian-Australian-American citizen who has travelled extensively in Europe and South America, in addition to working in Australia and America. Rebecca, also from an Italian background, has lived and worked as a migration agent in Italy, as well as travelled many times overseas.
From their travels and extensive experience, these two women noticed a gap in the immigration industry and they decided to embark on a journey to address this—hence, the creation of Migration Ways.
Since then, Migration Ways has earned a reputation for giving professional, timely and ethical service. Meanwhile, the team has grown exponentially. We especially pride ourselves on our problem-solving abilities, where we creatively and carefully match the needs and circumstances of our clients to the best available visa.
Migration Ways has also developed respected relationships with the relevant government bodies, and local businesses.
Registered Experienced Visa Agents
One of the markers of a trust-worthy migration agency is whether the agency has registered migration agents. Migration Ways has a team of registered migration agents with almost 40 years of experience under their belts.
Australian immigration laws and policies can be complex, and expert help is often the difference between success and failure.

- Employer Sponsored Visas (482, 186, 494, 407)
- Temporary Activity Visa (Entertainment, Sports, Religious)
- Skilled Visas (189, 190, 491, 485)
- Partner and Family Visas (820/801, 309/100, 300, Parent and Child Visas)

“As challenging as providing migration assistance is at times, there is nothing more rewarding than when I make that phone call to an individual or family who have their hopes invested in a future here in Australia and let them know that they are finally a Permanent Resident of this great country of ours. Their excitement and joy reminds me of why I do this work and is what drives me through all the challenges.”
Rebecca Santaera has vast experience working directly within the Australian Immigration industry/sector.
She was formerly engaged as a Migration Agent in private practice. Since having co-founded Migrationways in 2014, she provides expert advice and assistance for employers and Visa applicants, particular in Melbourne’s Italian and South American community. She has also forged strong business relationships amongst the Hospitality and Trade industries due to her experience with Employer sponsorship.
After graduating from Swinburne University, Rebecca began her career in Italy in 2009, where she worked as an Australian Migration Consultant for two years. It was during this time that she gained an invaluable insight to the needs and desires in migration directly from the Italian community.
On her return to Australia in 2011, Rebecca worked under the supervision of an Immigration Law specialist where she was able to further her skills set by focusing on the onshore visas, in particular the Employer Sponsored Visas and Skilled Visas.
