Bob came to Australia from Fiji in 1987, after the coup. He left home for better opportunities. He arrived in Melbourne feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Students who arrive today describe the same feeling.
An agent in his home country had told him what to study. Only after he arrived did he learn the truth: that course would not lead to a permanent future in Australia. Good information was expensive and hard to find. It took years of navigating the immigration system before he reached permanent residency, in 1993.
In the decades since, Bob has helped many people in his community make their own journey to Australia.
That is why Studyaway exists.
Government policy changes quickly. The occupations Australia needs change. What was true last year may not be true for your application. A pathway partner in Australia watches the changes for you and builds a plan around your goals, across education, work and migration. Bob had no internet in 1987. We do, and that is why so much of the information we provide is free.
Real advice for your goals
We take the time to understand your goals before we recommend anything. If a course does not fit your future, we will not enrol you in it. We are not afraid to say no, because time is more important than money.

Our advice when choosing any agency — including us
An agency in your home country can feel convenient. But many offshore agents have never studied, worked or lived in Australia. The visa application is only the first short stage of your journey. After you land, the plan has to keep working. That is when advice from outside the system stops helping. So wherever you go, ask two questions. Is the counsellor QEAC-qualified? And if anyone gives you visa advice, are they on Australia's public register of migration agents? You can check the register free at portal.mara.gov.au. Please check us too.
