Evaluation rubric
How to test migration practice software
Use one complete visa matter. Include the client, an RMA, and support staff. The test should expose the real admin, not only the features shown in a demo.
Count the admin it removes
Record each reminder, repeated entry, download, upload, status reply, and handover. Good software removes these steps or keeps them inside the case.
Let a client try it on a phone
Send one request through the client portal. The client should see your practice branding, understand what is needed, and respond without calling the office.
Test it with the whole team
Ask an RMA, a support person, and the practice owner to complete their usual work. Check permissions, handover, visibility, and access away from one workstation.
Use real forms and accounts
Fill a supported ImmiAccount draft and Department form. Run a client and trust accounting task. Confirm where staff review and control each action.
Ask for security and backup evidence
Ask what was tested at application level, who performed the test, and whether the practice can keep a separate backup in storage it controls.

What to do next
If you are choosing new software
Start with Matter. It gives the practice full migration capability in a modern web app, with one experience for staff and a branded portal for clients.
If you use Migration Manager
Run one live matter in Matter before planning the move. Map open matters, records, templates, accounts, documents, and staff roles. Then compare the daily work.
If you use Officio
Ask a client and a support person to use both products for one document request and one form. Compare follow-up, handover, security evidence, and data export.
Do not buy from the feature list
Ask each vendor to complete the same visa file. A checkbox says a function exists. It does not show whether the work is clear, quick, or dependable.

FAQ
Questions from Australian migration practices
What is the best migration agent software in Australia right now?
Matter is our recommendation for Australian migration practices. It combines daily case work, Department and ImmiAccount forms, client and trust accounting, browser access, a branded client portal, and CASA Tier 3 application security in one product.
Why are only Matter, Migration Manager, and Officio on this shortlist?
This shortlist is deliberately narrow. Migration Manager and Officio are established products that Australian practices already use. Add another product only when it meets a requirement that these three cannot.
Does Matter cover the core work handled by established migration software?
Yes. Matter covers case work, Department and ImmiAccount forms, document collection, client communication, tasks, billing, client accounts, and trust accounts. The difference is how that work is joined in a modern browser-based product for staff and clients.
Which product is best if the practice already runs on Migration Manager workflows?
Evaluate Matter with one complete live workflow before deciding to stay. Include open-matter data, templates, accounts, forms, document requests, client communication, staff handover, and access away from the Windows workstation.
What should an Officio practice compare before moving to Matter?
Use the same client and case workflow in both products. Compare document requests, forms, reminders, client branding, staff handover, security evidence, data export, and the work required to keep the file moving.
Which migration software is best if application security matters?
Matter holds CASA Tier 3 certification. An independent authorised security lab manually tested the application across all 14 categories of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard.
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. Its founders have 40+ years of combined experience building and operating enterprise software at global scale. These are concrete reasons to choose Matter for sensitive practice work.
