Connect Beyond

What Connect Beyond does

Connect Beyond Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered visa consultancy that assists Filipino individuals and families in migrating to Australia for employment, visa sponsorship, and family reunification. The firm operates offices in Arncliffe (NSW headquarters, opened July 5, 2025), Bankstown, Brisbane, Perth, and Canberra in Australia, alongside offshore offices in Lipa City, Las Pinas, and Manila in the Philippines. Its primary customer base is Filipino workers and skilled professionals in healthcare, hospitality, IT, engineering, and trades seeking employer-sponsored Australian visas. The company is led by CEO Edward Solicito, with in-house migration counsel provided by Atty. Kwok Lam So (MARN/LSN: 95229).

The service portfolio centers on four core offerings — migration consultation, visa application assistance, visa sponsorship assistance (drawing on a network of 100+ Australian corporate partners), and employment assistance — supplemented by a client portal for application tracking, an SMS messaging program for status updates and job leads, a VR station and podcast studio at the Arncliffe headquarters, and a "Results Guarantee" offering a money-back promise if no partner job offer is secured. Technology infrastructure is limited: a Wix-hosted website, payment integrations (Afterpay, Visa, Mastercard), and outbound SMS, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, or developer-facing APIs.

Connect Beyond's revenue model is professional services fees on a pay-as-you-go basis, with processing fees positioned as more than 50% cheaper than Philippine-market competitors. Distribution is multi-channel: 45,000+ Facebook followers, digital billboards in Beverly Hills and Rockdale, PR placements in Associated Press and Benzinga, podcast/webinar content, and a referral contest ("Panalo Tayo"). The firm claims 200+ successful visa grants processed to date and operates with a workforce of 11–50 employees; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
