Visa Pilot Australia
NewAustralian visa guidance with an AI chat that answers in the visitor's language, then refers them to the three closest registered migration agents.
Visit ProjectOverview
Visa Pilot Australia brings the Visa Pilot model to Australia. Visitors ask the chat about their situation in any language and get general visa information backed by Home Affairs figures, then a referral to the three nearest registered migration agents on the OMARA register. Around it sits a growing library of guides, visa pages and country hubs (India, the UK, the Philippines and more) covering the documents, police certificates and steps of each journey. Pages publish on a schedule, and processing dates, SkillSelect cut-offs and agent statistics refresh themselves from official sources.

Challenges & Learnings
Started from the visapilot.nz codebase in October 2026, so the hard part was the unlearning: every fee, threshold and rule had to come from Home Affairs rather than New Zealand assumptions, and many agent and law-firm sites publish wrong figures. Fees now live in one facts file checked against the live Home Affairs price list, and a lint step catches drift in content and chat prompts. Cold referrals go out in each firm's own working hours across Australian time zones.
