Is this site legit. I just gave my card info to them but haven’t gone any further. Should I suspend my card? What should I do. Can anyone vouch for this site?

Ends with .com.au
It is not government affiliated.
It is a business with an ABN but that's about as legitimate as can be confirmed.Not even Australian, I'm not sure how they got a .com.au extension.
Are there any real requirements for a .au extension?
The only thing I thought could/should be a requirement was that the site is actually hosted in Australia, or for an Australian business/group/etc.
There is. A .com extension is easy to obtain.
Try it out. Go to godaddy or similar and try to register a com.au

The website just helps you apply for residency really. Although it's a .au address, it's owned by a US company.
I suspect it's the same people who have the .com address which doesn't have rave reviews
Nice try hackers!
Thanks you every one. You all saved me.
I read the "The Australian Migration Journey in 3 Simple Steps!"
Didn't mention boats or nothin'…
Some of them are legit in that once you provide details on a form on their site, they put those dtails on an OFFICIAL government site's form and charge you for that on top of the OFFICIAL government fees. Then you only get the OFFICIAL government response through them. Maybe they'll charge for that too.
I am confused over what you mean.
Those commercial immigiration websites are asking the same details as the OFFICIAL government websites. Those commercial websites charge on top of the OFFICIAL government fees. So you end up paying more for the same outcome.
This better?
Oh ok thanks, So if I wanted to do this on a Official website, what would a good place be.
@Kevin Le: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au
Except in very rare cases, all the .gov.au domains belong to Australian government.
@Kevin Le: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/ is the official site
If you still need a consultant then choose these officially registered ones

yeah a few American ESTA ones are like that, if you google certain terms (instead of ESTA u type "usa visa" u get these sites which charge u extra for tying in ur application
What are you using them for? Applying for any Aus Visa can be done by yourself. The process is very straight forward and will save you a lot of money,
Please explain to me how and where. That would be very helpful
Depends on the type of visa. Can be done online on the Immi site here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-li…
Thank you. So use this site for applying from a new zealand citizen to a australian citizen?
@Kevin Le: That's the link for a visa. The citizenship link is here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen
You can get all this just by googling it you know.@Kevin Le: Going through the same situation now, save you 20min top of the page right hand side open a immi account 1st. And expect 3 hrs to fill out, they want to know the 1st time you entered Australia and every date you departed and entered, but from an agency which charge $800 including application fee will save you $500
Quick google search says no.
