Choosing an Education Agent for Australia: Using the Official Study Australia Checklist

Why use an education agent for Australia?

Australia is ideal for international students, with high-quality education, a welcoming culture, vibrant student cities, and beautiful natural surroundings. If you are unsure about how to apply to study in Australia, you may want to get help from an education agent.

If you need support from an education agent to apply for studies in Australia, Study Australia provides tips to help you find an agent with a good reputation.

What can an education agent help with?

Some education agents will also offer help with finding accommodation and travel arrangements, and some even help you after you arrive in Australia.

Important: an education agent who is not also a registered migration agent must not provide you with immigration assistance.

How to verify an agent using the official checklist

Study Australia’s official resource, “How to choose the right education agent for you,” is the authoritative guide. To use it effectively:

• Review the checklist before you commit to an agent.
• Check whether the agent’s advice is limited to education services or also includes migration assistance (only registered migration agents can provide that).
• Use the checklist to confirm the agent has a good reputation.

By following the official checklist, you can make a more informed decision when selecting an education agent in Australia.
