This event provides agents with the opportunity to meet directly with Australian K-12 school representatives, strengthen existing partnerships, and gain updated information about enrolment opportunities, admissions expectations, student support and pathways for Vietnamese students considering an Australian school education.
The workshop is designed to support agencies in providing families with accurate, up-to-date guidance about studying at Australian primary and secondary schools.
Places are limited and early registration is strongly recommended!
Why should my agency participate?
As the Vietnam market becomes more complex and competitive, this workshop is designed to help education agencies strengthen their understanding of the Australian K-12 sector, build direct relationships with schools, and better navigate changing visa, enrolment and student suitability expectations.
Agents will gain updated insights into enrolment opportunities, admissions expectations, student suitability considerations, welfare requirements and long-term pathway planning while meeting directly with Australian K-12 school representatives and admissions decision makers.
While visa outcomes and policy settings have created additional pressure across the sector, demand from Vietnamese families for quality long-term education pathways still exists. Agencies with stronger school knowledge, better student matching practices and direct school relationships are increasingly achieving more sustainable recruitment outcomes.
The workshop provides agencies with practical market insights, direct access to schools, and updated knowledge that can help support stronger counselling practices and more successful long-term student outcomes in an increasingly selective market.

While the Australian school sector has become more challenging for the Vietnam market in recent years, there is still significant demand from Vietnamese families for quality long-term K-12 education pathways.
This workshop is designed to help agencies provide families with clearer guidance, stronger school matching support, and more informed advice throughout the school selection, admissions and visa process.
