One Tasman. Two paths.

Two countries.
One licensed adviser. One process.

I am credentialed on both sides of the Tasman, a registered migration agent in Australia, a licensed adviser in New Zealand. Whichever country fits your life, the process feels the same: clear, honest, no waffle.

AUMigration Agents Registration Number 2418652

Australia

Skilled, sponsored, student, partner, parent and residence pathways. From a 482 to a 189 to a 143, I work the routes most enquired about, and the unusual ones too.

NZNew Zealand Licence Number 202400067

New Zealand

AEWV, SMC, the Green List, partner, parent and resident pathways. I lived in New Zealand first, I know the offices, the schools, the quiet differences from the inside.

Find your starting point

One question first:
who are you?

Pick the path closest to yours. I will meet you there, and before any money changes hands, I will tell you honestly whether I can help and what is actually involved.

How a case actually works

From your first email
to your grant.

A simplified view of how a real case moves with me, works the same in either country. Most run between three months and two years, depending on the pathway.

Day 1 · no commitment AU · NZ
01
Stage one

You write to us, briefly

An email or our short form. Tell me where you are, who you are, your profession and qualification, where you want to be, and anything already in motion, a job offer, a course, a partner with citizenship.

Week one · no jargon AU or NZ
02
Stage two

A short written assessment

I assess whether you have realistic pathways to achieve your immigration goals. You get it in writing, no legalese, before you have spent a cent.

After the brief Either side
03
Stage three

An initial consultation

A detailed conversation about your circumstances, your goals, and the possible pathways available to you. Afterwards, you receive a written summary explaining your options, the requirements, and all costs involved.

Once we agree Either side
04
Stage four

We sign an agreement

A clear written engagement letter, scope, fees, timeline, so we both know what we have committed to before any work begins.

Weeks 2 – many Either side
05
Stage five

Evidence, properly prepared

Collecting documents, financial records, references, and qualifications. No checklists buried in PDFs, I work alongside you and explain what is actually needed.

Lodgement → grant Either side
06
Stage six

Lodgement & the long wait

I handle communication with the authorities, respond to requests, and provide small reassurances during the wait.

After grant New home
07
Stage seven

Settlement

Useful information to help you settle in, then a check-in once you are actually there.

Exceptional support from start to finish for a family of 3

We contacted Suzie in December 2025 with the hope of finally making our long-time plan of moving to New Zealand a reality, and by August 2026 we already had our residence visa in hand. She guided us through every single step of the process and was incredibly supportive along the way. Our visa was eventually approved within just one month of lodging the application. Suzie was very knowledgeable, and whenever a question or situation came up that was specific to our case, she always knew where to look for the right information and was able to give us clear, practical advice. We felt that we were in good hands throughout the whole process as she went above and beyond to support us, always keeping our individual circumstances and best interests in mind. Thank you, Suzie, for making what could have been a very stressful and complicated process feel like a piece of cake. We couldn't recommend you highly enough!

Excellent service

Excellent service, thank you, Zsuzsi! Zsuzsi was extremely helpful and was always available whenever we had questions regarding our visas. She answered all our questions promptly, patiently, and meticulously. What we particularly appreciated was her friendly, respectful, and approachable manner. We never felt uncomfortable asking questions, no matter how small or detailed they were. She always treated us with respect. Her professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, and genuine willingness to help made what can be a complicated visa process much easier for us. We are grateful for her assistance and advice and would recommend Zsuzsi to anyone looking for reliable and supportive migration advice. Thank you again, Zsuzsi, for all your help!

"I will tell you, plainly, whether I can help, and if a different adviser, route, or moment is better for you, I will say so. Your future deserves honesty, not guesswork."

Send a few details. I read every message myself, usually a real reply within a working day.
