Hannah Parker, Licensed Immigration Adviser is offering free Immigration Clinics on a monthly basis at the Cromwell Community House to make immigration support accessible, accurate and community-focused.

The Clinics are designed to support those needing guidance on visa pathways and immigration matters who ordinarily could not afford adviser or lawyer fees.

They are open to anyone - for example, a migrant worker, a partner, an employer, a parent, a student, anyone who needs information or guidance.

Clients can have one free appointment through the Cromwell Community House.

Clinics will be on the first Thursday of every month, so our first one is 4 December, but due to Christmas and New Year the second one will be on 15 January and then 5 February and 5 March.

If there is a demand for the service, I will look at running more clinics in the future and may even look at offering them in more locations.

You can book by calling the Cromwell Community House or visiting their office to check availability.

I won’t take bookings for the Clinics if you contact me directly.

However, I can offer a paid service if you contact me directly or have an urgent matter that cannot wait until the next Clinic.

The Cromwell Community House team will do a mini interview and ask some questions to make sure that the Immigration Clinic is the most suitable service for you before they confirm an appointment.

Once you have had the mini interview and before the appointment, please email a copy of your passport and visa to the Cromwell Community House along with any other relevant documents i.e. employment agreement, qualifications, medical reports, police certificates, court files etc. they will be uploaded into a shared online folder for me to review the day before the clinic.
