Hello Australia - Brisbane
Great services with a Brazilian and Latin America Focus
Countries Serviced
Hello Australia has been in operation for over 13 years and has a strong focus on people, as you would expect form an agency focused on Brazil and Latin America. They have a lot of varied social events that connect people together to help form friendships whilst in Australia.
The extra services provided to their students include help with obtaining a TFN, writing a personalized Resume and offering a mail service. But what makes Hello Australia one of my recommended Brisbane education agents are these three extra services. They have an airline department which takes care of all the details of the ticket to the destination country of your choice, offering great flight options and special promotions for students and companions. They will also introduce you to their employment contacts which will hopefully lead to a job quicker as it is very expensive to live in Australia. We all have bills to pay and we need to work. Additionally, they have partnerships with companies specializing in Homestay and Student Residences so that our students can choose the type of accommodation according to their preferences. This is of course a paid service but very helpful.
JRIS Education Brisbane
Award winning Education Agent with a focus on Taiwan, China, Japan, Mongolia
Countries Serviced
Established more than 20 years ago, JRIS has assisted tens of thousands of students to study in Australia. They are a Taiwanese focused education agent and make the claim to be the most professional and caring consultants in Taiwan. They also assist students from China, Japan and Mongolia with their education journey. When I personally spoke with the staff at JRIS, they were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the education market in Australia.
JRIS has also been rated as the best study abroad center by many Australian universities even being recognized with the Best Business Award by the Australia-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce. This is a notable achievement as there are a lot of education agents operating in Australia. The students they have helped seem to agree with this claim and have given them a 5 star google rating.
Of course, being friendly is important, but it’s the services that JRIS offers that makes it one of my recommended Brisbane education agents. Starting with a one-on-one video consultation from your own home or anywhere they continue to help you through the standard services of school selection, application, admission acceptance and visa just like every other education agent. However, it’s the extra services of helping you open a bank account, get a SIM for your mobile phone and organize a Tax File Number (TFN) so you can work that make it a recommended Brisbane education Agent. Additionally, for an extra fee they can also arrange an airport pick-up service and make accommodation arrangements.
