Relocation support for international employees and families
An arriving family has to build a whole life at once: a home, schools, a bank, a car, a doctor and a sense of where they are. We work through it in order.
Discuss This RelocationThe short answer
Relocation support for international employees and families covers pre-arrival planning from overseas, temporary accommodation, a rental search and application, school introductions and enrolment timing, and practical settling-in help with everyday services. Scope and fee are agreed with the employer before arrival.
What usually makes this move hard
Everything at once
Housing, schooling, transport and services all fall in the first fortnight, usually while jet-lagged.
No local credit or references
Rental applications and everyday accounts are harder without an Australian history behind them.
Unfamiliar school system
State catchments, independent and Catholic options and enrolment timing need explaining before a suburb is chosen.
What we cover
- Pre-arrival planning calls across time zones
- Temporary accommodation guidance for the first weeks
- Rental search, inspections and application support without local references
- School introductions, enrolment timing and system briefing
- Practical settling-in: transport, everyday services and local orientation
- Handover to Home Scouts for buyers agent representation when buying
When the family is ready to buy, our sister company Home Scouts provides licensed buyers agent representation across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, so the same local knowledge carries through to the purchase.
Common questions
Can you start work before the family arrives in Australia?
Yes. Most international assignments begin with planning calls and a shortlist built before the family lands, so the arrival week is productive rather than exploratory.
Do you provide visa or immigration advice?
No. We are not migration agents. We handle the on-the-ground relocation - housing, schools, orientation and settling in.
