Hi
How do I know if an agent is a registered one? Anyone here who have tried the services of Carmine Mercorella? Thanks

A registered agent should have a MARN number. Then, you can look up that number on the MARA website: https://portal.mara.gov.au/search-the-register-of-migration-agents/.
Lots of threads talking about My Australian Life/Carmine's agency, the testimonials here might be useful:
