Apple Education & Immigration Consultancy

What Apple Education & Immigration Consultancy does

Apple Education & Immigration Consultancy is a privately-held Australian migration and education consultancy founded in 2016 and headquartered at Melbourne Business Centre, 470 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, with a secondary office in India. The firm is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARN 2318293), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ACN 610 694 874), and holds ABN 37 580 471 992. It operates with approximately 7 employees and is led by founder Rashmi Panwar (13 years of industry experience) alongside principal migration agent Hemant Dua and a small advisory and counselling team. The company has served 2,000+ clients since inception.

The firm provides end-to-end immigration and student services, with two core service lines: Immigration Services covering student (Subclass 500), skilled (189, 190, 491), partner/family, business/investor (188), and temporary work (485) visa categories; and Admissions consulting for placement into Australian universities, colleges, and vocational providers. These are supported by a portfolio of add-on services including PTE/IELTS coaching, CPA/ACS/ANMAC skill assessments, Professional Year program placement, OSHC health insurance arrangement, accommodation booking, Commonwealth Bank account setup, scholarship assistance, pre-departure briefings, and airport pickup. Service delivery relies on direct, human-led consultation through the Melbourne office, phone, WhatsApp, and online intake forms hosted on a third-party AgentCIS platform.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a quote-based pricing model with a free initial eligibility check, supplemented by referrals from a partner network of 200+ approved Australian education providers including Monash College, Navitas Professional, Performance Education, ATMC, SCEI, International House Sydney, APIC, and MILCOM. The customer base is primarily B2C, segmented across international students (with heavy Indian-market concentration), skilled migrants, family migrants, and business/investor migrants. The firm has no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity; growth is organic and partner-referral driven.
