Australian institutions emphasise practical learning, research excellence, and graduate employability making Australian education valuable not only academically, but professionally.

The value of Studying in Australia

  • Clear regulatory frameworks for international students

  • High Academic standards and quality assurance

  • Strong post-study employability outcomes

  • A safe, inclusive, and multicultural society

  • Internationally recognised degrees

QEAC

QEAC + RMA

QEAC + RMA

The services below are carefully structured in accordance with the strict Australian Code of Ethics. Academic guidance is led by a Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC), while all visa migration matters are managed by a Registered Migration Agent (RMA).

In Australia, it is unlawful for anyone to provide immigration assistance unless they are a Registered Migration Agent, an Australian legal practitioner, or a specifically exempt person.

Two Experts, One Journey

Studying in Australia involves two distinct areas of expertise. We bring both together under one coordinated service.

Dr. Glen Milne
Jessica Goya de Hoog, M.A.

RMA (MARN: 0428024): Dr Glen Milne is a UK-based Australian Registered Migration Agent providing migration advice in accordance with the Migration Act and OMARA requirements. He supports partners and clients with visa pathways, including student, graduate and skilled migration, ensuring applications are managed within Australian regulatory standards.

QEAC (14035): Jessica is currently the only Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC) based in the Netherlands and the wider Benelux region. With experience in visa processing, system analysis, and education support, she applies analytical precision to a structured, evidence-based approach. She has a keen eye for detail and ensures that every client engagement is strictly compliant with official requirements and regulatory standards.

In Australia, it is unlawful for anyone to provide immigration assistance unless they are a Registered Migration Agent, an Australian legal practitioner, or a specifically exempt person.

Build your future with proper planning

Success in Australia isn't accidental. It happens when:

  • the course aligns with long-term goals,

  • the institution is appropriate for the student profile, and

  • the visa strategy is compliant and guided by a Registered Migration Agent

Without proper guidance, students may face higher costs, academic challenges, or avoidable visa complications.
