How CECA Melbourne get paid

Affordable to mid-range

Confirm exactly what you will be charged, and what happens to that money if your visa is refused. Get it in writing before you pay anything. An agent that will not put its fees in writing is telling you something.

Who it suits

  • International students in Melbourne
  • Post-study graduates planning VIC migration
  • Students who may relocate across cities
