Avanti - Education & Migration

What Avanti - Education & Migration does

Avanti Education & Migration is an international education and migration advisory firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, with additional offices in Colombia, the Philippines, and Japan. The company serves primarily Latin American (especially Colombian) and Japanese students seeking study and migration pathways to Australia, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, and Dubai, providing end-to-end services including course selection, institution placement, visa processing, accommodation support, and settlement assistance.

The operating model is a relationship-led advisory practice rather than a technology platform. Service delivery is supported by a WordPress website, Stripe payments, Clientify for scheduling and CRM, Zoom and ClickMeeting for webinars, and LINE for messaging in Asian markets. There is no proprietary technology product; digital touchpoints primarily serve marketing and lead-conversion rather than automating the core advisory workflow.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: fee-based advisory services for students, commissions from partner educational institutions, a tiered referral program paying AUD $100–200 per successful referral, a Demi Pair host-family placement program charging AUD $750 per placement (delivered via partnership with Priceless Exchange), and the Avanti Plus membership subscription. The go-to-market relies on community events, content (including a TV series "Live, Study and Work in Australia"), and referrals in source-country markets, with the Colombian corridor carrying the majority of historical volume.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Studyportals: Online study choice platform providing program discovery and comparison for international students across thousands of programs and destinations. Comparable as an information/intermediation layer that supports study abroad decisions, with overlapping audience of prospective international students.
• Edvoy: International education platform (formerly Hotcourses Abroad) that helps students apply to universities globally, including Australian institutions. Comparable in international student recruitment and advisory services with stronger online platform presence.

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: ASX-listed global education services company co-owned by Australian universities; places international students (with strong Australian market share) and runs IELTS testing. Comparable to Avanti's placement + visa advisory model but vastly larger, publicly listed, and operating a broader portfolio across multiple geographies.
• Navitas: Australian global education provider running university pathway/foundation programs, English language training, and college operations worldwide. Comparable on the pathway and English language side of Avanti's portfolio, though Navitas delivers education directly rather than as an agency.
• INTO University Partnerships: Global education pathway provider offering foundation, English, and international year one programs at partner universities including those in Australia. Comparable on the foundation/pathway program side of Avanti's placement portfolio, operating as a direct provider rather than recruitment intermediary.

Direct peers

• Leverage Edu: India-based study abroad platform offering course selection, application support, and visa assistance across destinations including Australia. Directly comparable full-service agency model with similar commission-based revenue and multi-country destination coverage.
• ApplyBoard: Canadian-headquartered international student recruitment platform that connects students with educational institutions globally. Directly comparable to Avanti as a study abroad agency/platform model, though ApplyBoard operates at much greater scale with proprietary technology; both monetize via institution commissions for student placements.
• AECC Global (upGrad Abroad): International education consultancy operating across multiple source markets (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) placing students at universities in Australia, UK, USA, Canada. Closely comparable agency model to Avanti — full-service course selection, visa, and migration advisory — though AECC operates at substantially larger scale.
