Editorial assessment

What we love

  • 30 years of operation with five Australian offices across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth — genuine geographic coverage with local in-person access in every major city.

  • ICEF, QEAC, and MARA accreditations across the team — multi-credential capability covering education counselling, student visa, and migration advice under one roof.

  • 400+ partner institutions across 6 countries including Australia, UK, Canada, USA, Ireland, and NZ — strong multi-destination capability built over three decades.

Where it falls short

  • B2B orientation across seven countries can mean student-facing service quality varies by branch — confirm which counsellor will manage your case and request their direct contact before proceeding.

  • Less visible online review presence than major competitors — independently verify student outcomes for your specific destination and program type.

  • Broad service scope (internships, career counselling, personality testing, migration) across 400+ partners can dilute focus — ask upfront which specific pathway is the branch's core competency.

I contacted AUG twice for my study abroad applications. The first time, I applied to study in Australia, but my visa application was rejected. Even so, the team still patiently answered all of my questions and continued to support me. Recently, I contacted AUG again to apply for studying in New Zealand, and I successfully received my student visa. My counsellor, Chi Phan, did an amazing job throughout the entire process. She was always supportive, professional, and quick to respond whenever I had concerns or questions. I truly appreciate all the support from AUG and highly recommend their services to anyone planning to study abroad.

I highly recommend AUG to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive student visa agency for their stay in Australia!!! Manyu, my agent, and the whole team were incredibly helpful and assisted me a lot during the whole process. Everything was explained clearly, and they always responded quickly whenever I had questions. The whole process felt much less stressful because I knew I had professionals guiding me. AND THE BEST PART!! My visa was granted instantly, which made the whole experience even more amazing. Thank you for making everything so smooth!!!

I had a great experience with AUG Student Services Melbourne, especially with my counsellor Bridgette. She was very supportive and professional throughout my whole application process, guiding me step by step with my course selection, document preparation, and student visa application. Bridgette was always patient and responsive whenever I had questions, which made the process much less stressful for me. Thanks to her help and guidance, my student visa was granted smoothly, and it was even approved on the same day my working holiday visa expired, which was a huge relief. I truly appreciate all the support she gave me along the way. I highly recommend AUG Melbourne and Bridgette to anyone who is planning to study in Australia.

I had a fantastic experience working with Chi Phan from AUG Melbourne. She provided great support throughout my applications for both my Master’s and Honours programs. Thanks to her detailed guidance on scholarships and entry requirements, I was able to make good decisions about my studies. Additionally, she made the visa application process seamless by clearly explaining the necessary steps and documentation. Thank you so much for your professional and dedicated help!

Frequently asked questions

CompareMyAgents Editorial

The bottom line

30 years of continuous operation sets AUG Study apart from newer entrants — a genuine indicator of institutional stability and depth of partner relationships. Five city offices with dedicated branch contacts (not a centralised call centre) provide accessible local service across all major Australian cities. The main caveat: AUG's orientation spans both B2B agent networks and direct student services, which can mean student-facing quality varies by branch — confirm who will manage your case and request their direct contact before proceeding.
