• EmpowerHer Migrant Voices

    We recently held a panel discussion titled "Placemaking and Community Resilience: Experiences of Migrant Women in Australia." This event provided a platform for migrant women to share their stories, challenges, and achievements. The recording will be available on our YouTube channel soon.

  • How to find your first job in Australia?

    For international students looking for that first job in Australia is usually the biggest challenge they face. You have to figure out how to gain local experience first and then there are a million other things like the difference between part-time, casual, and contract roles, banking and tax stuff, your working rights, the job application itself, networking, and above all the bias by employers. Want to know how to navigate all of this?

  • Tax return tips for migrants

    Whether you are a student or a full-time professional, you have to lodge your tax return in Australia for any income you may receive. It might seem intimidating the first time you do it but don't worry, our resident tax expert and financial wizard Parichit Pandey will answer all your tax-related questions.

  • PR Pathways for International Students

    Moving to Australia is exciting as an international student. But very soon after you move here, the anxiety about getting a permanent residency visa starts to build up. We have heard many stories of fraudulent migration agents giving incorrect information to international students and charging them thousands of dollars. While the whole migration process can feel like an unfair ordeal (and we would agree with you), there are some respected migration lawyers who are genuinely trying to help students in their professional capacity. We will be hosting a session with a migration lawyer in Australia shortly where all your PR visa questions can be asked directly.

  • Australia VS Canada

    Are you currently considering studying in or moving to Australia or Canada? Would you like to ask people who already made that decision for advice or just hear about their experiences straight from them?
