​
The Relocate Australia team met whilst on the expat trail.
​
Each consultant had paused their professional lives to become full-time parents and support their partner's career across Asia.
Their circumstances required them to adapt very quickly to new ways of life. From establishing their children in schools, setting up homes, taking on volunteer roles and then packing up and relocating to the next posting, they often did so with very little notice. Being organised, positive and adaptable was essential.
​
The Relocate Australia team all have children established in Melbourne schools and universities, with team members located in Sydney, Melbourne, Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and London.
They are constantly providing their knowledge and experience to assist other families moving into Australia. Annie has her real estate license (REIV Certificate) and is experienced in finding your ideal property in Australia.
Relocate Australia looks forward to introducing you
to the world's most liveable country and all its treasures.
