International students are a largely untapped market for Australia’s tourism industry. There are over half a million international students in Australia but their travel behaviours are poorly understood. Victoria University News, 22 June 2010

Tony Adams, an international education consultant and former pro vice-chancellor for international at Macquarie University in Australia, told the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) annual conference: ‘There is almost no industry that has survived the global downturn as higher education has. That means there are boardrooms around the world saying, ‘Where can we put our money so it can survive the next crisis and we can continue to grow?’ What we are about to see is a huge private investment into international higher education.’ Times Higher Education, 22 July 2010

I am an education agent, recruiting mainly from Russia and surrounding countries, who has decided that, after 11 years and with the current major changes to the industry, it is time to do other things. Over this time my agency has built up the following resources:

1. a Russian-language website with online forums – www.australianeducation.ru
2. a portfolio of current contracts with education providers (universities, institutes, language schools, private secondary schools) in several States (can be supplied upon request)
3. an impeccable reputation that would facilitate the transfer of any contracts to another suitable interested agent.

I am hoping to interest another agent(s), particularly those wanting a presence in Russia and surrounding countries, in taking over any or all of the above resources. My contact details below:
