Public comment is currently being sought on whether the bar should be raised on the standard of English language ability for registered migration agents. While I understand that in multicultural Australia the ability to speak another language is a great asset, there are two aspects to professional practice. Firstly, there is the reading and interpreting of the law and secondly the communication of its effect to the client.
It beats me how "step 1" can be achieved without proper English ability - the Migration Act and Regulations are complex legislation by any standard.
Having said that - I hope they don't make me do an IELTS test.
