FAQs

  • What is SettleDown Under?

    SettleDown Under is a settlement advisory and mentorship service created to guide new migrants and international students as they start their new life in Australia - with confidence, clarity, and a sense of belonging.

    We provide pre-arrival workshops, job-readiness support, and settlement guidance so you can start your new life with confidence and clarity.

  • Why should I choose SettleDown Under?

    Because we’ve walked this path ourselves.
    We understand the challenges of starting fresh in a new country - and we’ve built a program that helps you avoid common mistakes, settle faster, and feel at home sooner.

  • How can this program help me?

    Moving to a new country can be exciting but also overwhelming.
    We help you understand Australian workplace culture, build a localised resume, prepare for interviews, and plan your settlement - from housing and banking to healthcare and schooling.

    You’ll feel ready before you even board your flight.

  • What kind of support do I receive?

    You’ll join interactive online workshops covering:

    1. Career readiness and job search techniques

    2. Resume and interview preparation

    3. Cultural orientation and local expectations

    4. Guidance on housing, healthcare, and family services.

    5. You’ll also have access to mentoring and community networks once you arrive.

  • Who conducts the training?

    All sessions are led by Kannan Iyer, Co-founder of SettleDown Under.
    Kannan has lived in Australia since 2008 and has over 10 years of recruitment experience in both government and private sectors.

    He brings a deep understanding of what employers look for and what migrants truly need to succeed.

  • Is this program online or face-to-face?

    All sessions are currently held online, so you can join from anywhere in the world - even before your visa is approved.

    It’s flexible, convenient, and designed to fit your migration timeline.

  • When should I enrol?

    You can join as soon as your visa is filed or approved. Starting early helps you plan your job search, organise your relocation, and arrive fully prepared for your new chapter in Australia.

  • Will this guarantee me a job in Australia?

    No one can guarantee a job, but this program gives you a real advantage.
    You’ll learn how to present your skills the Australian way, find genuine job leads, and understand what local employers expect - increasing your chances of success.

  • What if I have already arrived in Australia?

    You can still enrol.
    Many migrants join post-arrival to refine their job applications, adjust to Australian work culture, or get help navigating local systems.
    We support you no matter where you are in your journey.

  • Is this settlment service included in my migration package?

    This is an optional add-on service offered independently and in partnership with your migration agent.
    You can choose from different packages based on the level of support you want.

  • How much does it cost?

    Pricing varies depending on the package you select.
    Each option includes expert-led sessions, one-on-one consults, and practical resources that are designed to save you time, money, and stress once you arrive.
    Your agent can guide you through the best option for your situation.
