A qualified education consultant (QEAC O920) in Brisbane. Course selection, applications, enrolment and student visa coordination for international students. Book a consultation.
An education consultant helps you choose the right course and institution, get your application together, and enrol without the guesswork. A good one saves you from the expensive mistake of picking a course that doesn’t suit your goals or your budget. Our education advice at BYD Education & Immigration Consultants is led by a qualified education agent counsellor (QEAC O920), so you’re getting guidance from someone formally trained and recognised for exactly this work.
We’re based at Eight Mile Plains on Brisbane’s south side, and we help students from across Brisbane, Logan, the Gold Coast and further afield, both in person and online.
People sometimes think an education agent just forwards an application to a college. The real job is bigger than that, and it starts well before any form is filled in.
Understanding you first. Your goals, your academic background, your budget, and what you want to do after you finish.
Matching you to a course and provider that genuinely fit, not just the one that’s easiest to get into or pays the biggest commission.
Managing the applications to institutions, including the paperwork and deadlines that trip students up.
Handling enrolment through to your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
Coordinating the student visa side so your course and your visa work as one plan.
That last point is where BYD Education & Immigration Consultants is different from a standalone education agent. Because we do migration as well, the person advising you on your course understands what the Student visa (subclass 500) needs, and what comes after graduation.
QEAC stands for Qualified Education Agent Counsellor. It’s a recognised credential for education agents advising international students about study in Australia, and it means the counsellor has been trained and assessed on the rules, the visa framework, and ethical practice.

Plenty of people call themselves education consultants. Fewer are formally qualified, and fewer still sit alongside a registered migration agent under the same roof. When your course choice affects your visa and your future here, that combination is worth having.
The most common mistake students make is choosing a course on price or on a friend’s recommendation. What suited your cousin might be wrong for you. The right choice depends on your goals, your entry qualifications, the fees, the location, and where the qualification can take you afterward.
As your education consultant, we look at the whole picture and give you honest options. If a cheaper course is a poor fit for what you want to do later, we’ll say so. If a pathway program or a different provider makes more sense, we’ll explain why. Our full approach to this is on the Course Selection & Enrolment page.
Once you’ve settled on a direction, the practical work begins. We prepare and lodge your applications to the institutions, keep track of offers and deadlines, and guide you through accepting the right one. Then we help you meet the conditions of your offer and move to a Confirmation of Enrolment, which is the document you need before a student visa can be granted.
We also sort the pieces that sit around enrolment, including Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), which is mandatory for student visa holders, and guidance on funds and English requirements.
A lot of our education clients aren’t only thinking about study. They’re thinking about staying. The right course can lead to a Temporary Graduate visa (485), and graduate work experience can feed into skilled migration later.
Because we handle both education and migration, we can plan that longer journey with you now, instead of leaving you to rethink everything after you graduate. That’s the value of getting education advice from a practice that also knows the visa system.
We take the time to understand your goals before recommending anything.
We match you to a course and institution that fit your situation and budget.
We manage your applications, offers and enrolment through to your CoE.
We coordinate your student visa and OSHC so nothing falls through the cracks.
We plan the graduate and migration pathway, so today’s course supports where you want to be later.
An education consultant, sometimes called an education agent, helps students choose a course and institution, prepare and lodge applications, and complete enrolment. A qualified one also understands the student visa framework, so your study plan and your visa line up.
Our advice is about getting you the right outcome, and we’ll be clear about how our service works at your first consultation. Many education agents are paid a commission by institutions, but that should never mean you’re pushed toward a course that doesn’t suit you. We tell you honestly what fits.

QEAC stands for Qualified Education Agent Counsellor, a recognised credential for agents advising international students on study in Australia. O920 is our counsellor’s registration number. It signals formal training on the rules, the visa framework and ethical practice.
Yes. We help students who are already here as well as those applying from overseas, whether you want to change course, move to a higher qualification, or plan a graduate or skilled visa next.
No. We’re based at Eight Mile Plains and see local students in person, and we work with students across the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba and interstate and overseas fully online.
You can apply yourself, but a qualified consultant helps you avoid a poor course choice, keeps your applications on track, and makes sure your enrolment and visa fit together. On a decision this expensive, good advice usually pays for itself.
Yes. Our migration and education work sit together, so we coordinate the Student visa (subclass 500) alongside your course, including the Genuine Student evidence.
Study doesn’t lead to residency automatically, but the right course can open a graduate visa and, later, a skilled migration pathway. We plan that with you from the start rather than after you’ve enrolled.
