Why should my agency participate?

Hong Kong families are well informed about overseas education and carefully compare schools, study destinations and the long-term value of their investment. For education agencies, strong school relationships and detailed, current knowledge are essential to helping families make confident decisions.

AEAS’s Hong Kong exhibitions in March and June 2026 continued to attract serious, engaged families exploring Australian school options. Their enquiries reflected a broad range of needs, from boarding and homestay to schooling for children relocating to Australia with their families.

As families reassess the cost and value of overseas study, agencies have an important role in explaining what an Australian school education offers. This includes academic quality, student wellbeing, English language development and pathways to leading universities in Australia and internationally, including Hong Kong.

Many families are also planning several years ahead, including those considering primary school entry. Understanding suitable entry points, admissions expectations and preparation requirements helps agencies support these families from their initial enquiries through to enrolment.

This workshop provides Hong Kong education agencies with the opportunity to meet directly with Australian school representatives, strengthen relationships, and gain updated information about enrolment availability, admissions expectations and student preparation for 2027, 2028 and beyond.

With many Australian schools visiting Hong Kong to attend the AEAS Australian Schools Exhibition during this time, our Agent Workshop offers an efficient way for agencies to meet multiple school representatives in one day, discuss prospective students and explore new partnerships.

For agencies looking to develop their Australian schools business, these direct connections will help your team identify suitable options for clients and provide informed, personalised guidance throughout the school selection and admissions process.

What is the purpose of the workshop?

Direct access to Australian school decision-makers

Meet senior admissions and international representatives from leading Australian day and boarding schools.

Latest visa, curriculum and enrolment insights

Understand current Australian student visa settings, and gain current information about entry requirements, enrolment availability and student preparation, helping your agency advise families on suitable schools and commencement dates.

Stronger pathway knowledge

Learn how Australian school pathways support entry into Group of Eight universities and other globally recognised tertiary destinations.

Practical insights for the Hong Kong market

Learn how Australian schools can meet the needs of Hong Kong families, including their expectations around academic outcomes, student support, accommodation and future university pathways.

During the workshop, participating agencies will learn more about:

availability of places for 2027, 2028 and beyond
Australian primary and secondary school pathways
boarding and homestay support options
student wellbeing and pastoral care
AEAS testing and admissions preparation
changing enrolment trends and market expectations
direct communication channels with participating schools

With Hong Kong families carefully comparing their options and often planning well ahead, this workshop will help agencies strengthen school partnerships and provide informed guidance throughout the school selection, preparation and admissions process.

Who should attend and what are the expectations of participants?

AEAS Workshops provide education agents and Australian schools with an opportunity to meet face to face to develop business relationships and learn more about each school’s individual programs.

This workshop is intended for:

education agencies actively supporting Hong Kong students applying to Australian schools
agency owners and directors OR senior managers responsible for Australian school partnerships
decision makers overseeing Australian schools recruitment and business development
experienced agency representatives working directly with Australian school placement

To ensure productive engagement between schools and agencies, participating organisations are required to:

nominate senior representatives involved in Australian school partnerships
attend the full workshop program including presentations, individual meetings and group sessions

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN AGENT COUNSELLOR TRAINING DAY!
