About Me

An adventurer and agile thinker by nature, I thrive on assisting people who are on the move — seeking a better life for themselves, their businesses, and their children. While migration work is my profession and livelihood, my commitment goes far beyond financial reward. I approach each matter wholeheartedly, offering not only expert migration advice but also the benefit of my own life experience, resilience, and perspective. My clients receive more than a service — they gain a genuine partner who values integrity, practicality, and honesty above all else.

Profile
After more than fifteen years in the profession, I have chosen to provide highly selective, client-oriented, boutique migration advice and services. This approach allows the development of sophisticated and practical migration strategies tailored to each client’s unique needs – combining deep migration expertise, strategic insight, and the highest professional standards.
I am a registered migration agent based in Adelaide, helping Australian employers and skilled professionals navigate migration process with clarity, care, and precision.

For more than fifteen years, I have specialised in employer-sponsored and skilled migration, assisting businesses of all sizes — from family-run enterprises to major corporations — to secure and retain the people they need.

I also work closely with individuals and families building their futures in Australia, guiding them through skilled, partner, parent, and visitor visa processes.

My main areas of expertise include:
  • Employer Sponsored visas – subclasses 482, 186, 494, 400 and 407
  • Labour Agreements and the DAMA programs
  • Skills Assessments and General Skilled Migration (189, 190, 491)
  • Partner, Parent and Visitor visas
  • Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) and Ministerial Intervention matters
  • Overcoming prejudice due to past negative decisions be it visa application or employer nomination
  • Corporate and large-group employer nominations
Whether you’re an Adelaide business owner seeking to fill a critical skill gap or a skilled migrant planning to bring your family to Australia, I aim to make each step straightforward and fully compliant.

Approach
Migration advice should be both accurate and personal. I take time to understand each client’s goals and circumstances, then develop a strategy that works in practice — not just on paper.

Smaller employers appreciate my direct, approachable communication and clear guidance on compliance. Larger and corporate clients value strategic planning and my ability to manage complex sponsorship and nomination programs efficiently.

Every case, regardless of size, receives the same meticulous attention. I believe that professional service should never feel impersonal — and that clear, honest, tailored advice is the foundation of every successful outcome.

Professional Background
After many years leading migration practices and serving as a senior migration agent at MSM Legal, I now provide boutique, highly personalised migration services through my own practice, Mark Sekerin Migration.

This independent structure allows me to dedicate more time to complex and high-stakes matters that require close attention and tailored strategies.

My earlier experience includes:
  • External Migration Consultant – Migration Plus, Cairns (current collaboration)
  • Senior Migration Advisor – MSM Legal, Adelaide (2019–2025)
  • Principal Consultant – Mark Sekerin & Associates (2008–2019)
  • Managing Director – Australian Jade Pty Ltd, Adelaide (2005–2008)
  • Co-founder, Producer, Chair – The Number One Publishing House Limited, Russia (1991–2012) (East-Siberian regional Newspapers, Internet and Print Media Advertising corporation)  
  • Explorer, Mining and General Management executive – Sibirgeologia Limited, Russia (1999 – 2012)
  • Chief Editor – several high circulation newspapers, Irkutsk, Russia (1989 – 1991)
Also enjoyed serving in Soviet Army (1986-1988) ending service as a Senior Surgical Theater Technician and Emergency Department Paramedic. 

This combination of business, management, and migration experience helps me understand not only visa legislation, but also the real commercial and human factors behind each case.

Philosophy
Migration is not simply about moving countries — it’s about creating stability, opportunity, and belonging.

I see my role as helping clients – both corporate and individual – to navigate Australia’s migration system with confidence, balancing compliance with compassion and practicality.

Every application is prepared with care. Every client, whether an individual, a small business, or a corporate sponsor, deserves clarity, diligence, and respect.
