What this is not
- Not CPD. WIDEN does not currently hold OMARA CPD provider approval. This is professional current-awareness reading, not CPD points.
- Not migration advice. Each issue is general information. Nothing in any issue is migration advice for any specific person, business or nominee.
- Not legal advice. Each issue covers the published framework — it does not interpret the law for any reader's individual circumstances.
Launch subject to confirmed content cadence
Compliance Monthly will launch only when WIDEN can commit to a stable monthly publication cadence. Submit the form below for a one-off launch notification. You will not be charged at signup; monthly billing only commences when you actively subscribe at launch.
What each issue covers (planned)
- Department of Home Affairs changes this month. Legislative instruments, policy updates, processing-time movements, occupation list changes, and any visa-specific reforms.
- Case-officer trends. Findings WIDEN and peer agents have seen recur in the previous month — what is being scrutinised more, what is being decided more leniently, what tends to attract a request for further information.
- MARA Code interpretation. One Code interpretation point per issue, drawn from a recurring practice question.
- Reading list. A short pointer list to the new instruments, judgments and Department guidance worth reading direct.
Each issue is concise — designed to read in 10–15 minutes. No filler.
Who this is for
- Migration agents wanting a brief monthly digest of what has moved
- Sponsor-side legal counsel, HR and workforce-planning professionals in regulated sectors
- Education agents and recruitment specialists in migration-adjacent fields
Who this is not for
- People wanting CPD. This is not OMARA-approved CPD.
- People wanting migration advice on a specific matter. That requires an initial consultation and a written service agreement.

Frequently asked questions
What does each issue contain?
Each monthly issue covers recent Department of Home Affairs policy and legislative-instrument changes, recurring case-officer findings observed across the sector, and selected MARA Code 2022 interpretation points that have come up in practice. Each issue is general current-awareness; no issue is migration advice on any specific matter.
Is this CPD?
No. WIDEN does not currently hold OMARA CPD provider approval. Compliance Monthly is professional current-awareness reading, not CPD. CPD-eligible content will be a separate offering if and when OMARA approval is granted.
Is this migration advice?
No. Each issue is general information about the published framework as it has evolved month-to-month. Nothing in any issue is migration advice on any specific person's, business's or nominee's matter. For advice on a specific matter, the subscriber should book an initial consultation or engage their own registered migration agent.
Who is this aimed at?
Two audiences. (1) Migration agents and sponsor-side legal counsel who want a brief monthly digest of what has actually moved. (2) HR, workforce planning and immigration-adjacent professionals (education agents, recruitment agencies in regulated sectors) who want to stay current without reading the gazette.
When does the first issue ship?

Compliance Monthly is general current-awareness reading. It is not OMARA-approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It is not migration advice for any specific person, business or nominee, and subscription does not create a migration agent–client relationship. Each issue reflects the published framework at the date of publication; subscribers should verify current settings at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au and read the underlying instruments and judgments direct before acting. Outcomes of visa, nomination, sponsorship and Code-compliance matters cannot be guaranteed by any registered migration agent (section 15, Migration Agents Code of Conduct 2022). Migration advice on a specific matter is provided by Keshab Chapagain (MARN 1576536) after a paid initial consultation under section 43 of the Code, with a written service agreement issued under section 42. The OMARA Consumer Guide is provided to all clients before the consultation begins. Subscription is cancellable at any time; no refunds for partial months. Australian Consumer Law rights are unaffected. Professional indemnity insurance is held as required under the Migration Agents Regulations 1998.
