Why Matter

Complete capability. Care in every detail.

Software your team and clients can enjoy using

Stop working around awkward screens and disconnected steps. Matter brings a polished staff workspace and branded client portal to the whole practice. Review a document, return it with clear notes, prepare a branded agreement, collect a signature, and raise the invoice with the case details already connected.

See the Matter workspace

Depth beyond a feature checkbox

Review each submitted file, accept it or reject it with notes, then complete the request or return it for changes. Automated reminders handle outstanding requests. The document workflow supports the work after upload.

Review the document workflow

Agreements that look like your practice

Matter converts existing letters and service agreements into reusable templates, recreating their branding and design. Fill client and case details and send service agreements for electronic signature.

Evidence and control for peace of mind

Matter holds CASA Tier 3 certification. An independent authorised lab manually tested the application across all 14 OWASP ASVS categories. Keep a backup in your own Google Drive or OneDrive storage.

Before you switch

When changing systems is worth it.

Compare the whole migration practice

Test CRM, tasks, document review, agreements, forms, billing, and accounts in both products. Matter covers these areas together. Judge how well the workflow runs, not how many feature names appear on a page.

Check education-specific requirements separately

Agent Manager publishes education and institution workflows. If your agency also runs education services, test those specific requirements alongside the migration work. They do not establish the quality of either migration workflow.

Test the decision

Complete practice capability, with care in the details

Matter covers CRM, cases, team tasks, calendars, communication, document requests and review, letters, agreements, e-signing, billing, and client and trust accounting. Built-in reminders and form fill reduce repeated administration. Staff and clients use a modern browser experience on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

A document upload is only the beginning. Matter lets staff review each file, explain what needs changing, and return the request to the client. Existing letters become reusable branded templates. Approved case-form values can fill supported ImmiAccount drafts for the practitioner to review.

Compare the work, not the size of the brochure

Agent Manager serves migration and education agencies. Use the same migration case to test both products through intake, documents, agreements, forms, tasks, and accounts. Check education-specific requirements separately if your agency needs them.

Matter’s founders have 40+ years of combined experience building and operating enterprise software at global scale. Experienced Australian RMAs contributed to the product design from its earliest stages. Matter combines that engineering and practice experience with independently tested application security and backup to your own storage.

Choose Matter for the migration practice workflow: complete capability, care in the details, automation that removes repeated administration, and evidence you can inspect. Start with seven days of full product access, with no credit card required and no setup fee.

Questions buyers ask

Questions to answer before you decide.

Why choose Matter over Agent Manager for migration practice work?

Matter is the recommended choice for a migration practice seeking complete capability, thoughtful workflows, and verifiable security. Detailed document review includes rejection notes and client corrections. Existing branded agreements become reusable templates for electronic signature. Automated reminders and supported form fill reduce repeated work. CRM, tasks, billing, and client and trust accounting complete the platform. Every Matter Immigration plan includes all features. Check education-specific requirements separately if your agency needs them.

Does Matter cover billing, accounting, and digital signing?

Yes. Matter includes billing, invoicing, receipts, client payment records, Xero integration, client and trust accounting, and service agreements for electronic signature. These sit alongside full CRM, cases, tasks, documents, and form automation.

Does Matter fill migration forms and ImmiAccount applications?

Matter fills common Department PDFs such as Form 80 and Form 956. It also copies approved case-form values into supported ImmiAccount application drafts for review. The practitioner controls lodgement.

What makes Matter's document workflow different from an upload feature?

Requests include a review workflow. Staff accept or reject each file with notes, then complete the request or return it to the client for changes. Automated reminders follow up on outstanding document requests.

Is Matter's security independently tested?

Yes. Matter holds CASA Tier 3 certification. An independent authorised security lab manually tested the application across all 14 OWASP ASVS categories. Matter also supports backup to customer-owned Google Drive and OneDrive storage.

Are features restricted to higher Matter Immigration packages?

Every Matter Immigration package includes all Matter features and unlimited support staff seats. Packages differ by RMA seats, new-case capacity, storage, and service level. The trial gives seven days of full product access with no credit card required, and there is no setup fee.

Can we try Matter before choosing?

Yes. Matter gives you seven days of full product access with no credit card required and no setup fee. Use your actual workflow to experience document review, branded agreements, electronic signatures, team tasks, billing, and accounts before you commit.

Why can a practice trust Matter with its work and records?

Matter offers a 99.99% uptime SLA. It holds Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) Tier 3 certification. An independent authorised security lab manually tested Matter across all 14 categories of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard. Back up records to your own Google Drive or OneDrive.
