How we can help
Every service at Settle Down Under is built around one principle - you deserve guidance from someone who has actually lived this journey and worked on the inside of Australian systems.
Not generic advice. Real expertise, personalised to your situation.
💼 Career Services
Led by Kannan Iyer - 15 years in Australian talent acquisition
across Randstad Australia, NSW Government, Service NSW and MTC Australia
Most career advice for migrants is written by people who may have never hired anyone.
Every career service at Settle Down Under is designed and delivered by someone who has spent 15 years on the hiring side - reading resumes, conducting interviews and making the decisions that determine who gets shortlisted.
That insider perspective is what you're paying for.
📄 Resume Review & Rewrite Consultation
Your resume is the first 30 seconds a hiring manager spends deciding whether you're worth calling. This session gives you a recruiter's honest assessment of your current resume - what's working, what's killing your chances, and exactly what needs to change.
Includes:
✓ Full review of your existing resume against Australian hiring standards
✓ Written feedback on every section
✓ Rewrite guidance with specific language recommendations
✓ Cover letter framework tailored to your target role
✓ Delivered via video call with a written summary afterwards
Best suited for: Migrants who have been applying without getting interviews, or anyone who wants a recruiter's honest eye on their application before sending it.
🔗 LinkedIn Profile Review & Coaching
Australian hiring managers and recruiters search LinkedIn before they call anyone. If your profile isn't optimised for the Australian market, you're invisible to the people who could hire you. This session rebuilds your LinkedIn presence from a recruiter's perspective.
Includes:
✓ Full audit of your current LinkedIn profile
✓ Headline, summary, and experience rewrite guidance
✓ Keyword strategy for your target industry and role
✓ Connection and outreach strategy for the Australian market
✓ Written action checklist to implement after the session
Best suited for: Migrants who are active on LinkedIn but not getting profile views, recruiter messages, or responses to their outreach.
🎯 Mock Interview & Feedback Session
Australian interviews follow specific formats - behavioural, competency-based, panel - that are unfamiliar to most migrants. This session puts you through a realistic mock interview and gives you detailed, honest feedback on what you need to improve before the real thing.
Includes:
✓ Pre-session briefing on Australian interview formats and expectations
✓ Full mock interview using real questions for your target role
✓ Recorded session so you can review your own performance
✓ Detailed written feedback on content, delivery, and body language
✓ Follow-up email with specific improvement recommendations
Best suited for: Migrants who have secured interviews but aren't converting them to offers, or anyone who wants to build confidence before a high-stakes interview.
🗺️ Career Strategy Session
If you're not sure what your next career move in Australia should be - or you've been applying broadly without a clear strategy - this session helps you build a focused, realistic plan. We look at your overseas experience, your Australian market position and the specific steps that will move you forward fastest.
Includes:
✓ Assessment of how your overseas experience translates to the Australian market
✓ Identification of your most realistic and highest-value target roles
✓ Analysis of any credential or experience gaps and how to address them
✓ A prioritised 90-day action plan specific to your situation
✓ Industry and employer targeting strategy
Best suited for: Migrants who feel stuck, are applying without direction, or want a clear strategic plan rather than generic job search advice.
📚 Ongoing Career Mentoring
Sometimes you don't need a one-off consultation - you need someone in your corner over time. Ongoing mentoring sessions give you consistent support, accountability, and expert guidance as you navigate your Australian career journey week by week.
Includes:

✓ Agenda set by you - mentee led

Settling in Australia involves far more than finding a job.
The systems are unfamiliar, the culture is different, and the emotional weight of building a life from scratch in a new country is something most people underestimate until they're living it.
Our settlement services are led by Mohana - who built a community from nothing in Adelaide, and has spent 15 years helping families navigate exactly this journey.

🗓️ Settlement Orientation Session
If you've just arrived - or are preparing to arrive - this session gives you a clear, personalised roadmap for your first weeks in Australia. No generic checklists. A specific plan for your situation, your family, and your city.
✓ Personalised first 30-day action plan
✓ Guidance on priority government registrations - TFN, Medicare, myGov
✓ Banking, housing, and essential services overview
✓ School and childcare guidance for families with children
✓ Q&A on anything you're uncertain or anxious about
Best suited for: Migrants arriving in Australia within the next 3 months, or those who have recently arrived and feel overwhelmed by where to start.
📋 First 90 Days Planning Session
A deeper, more comprehensive settlement planning session covering the full first three months in Australia. We build a week-by-week action plan tailored specifically to your situation - your visa type, your family structure, your city, and your priorities.
✓ A 90-day personalised settlement roadmap
✓ Credential recognition pathway for your profession
✓ Community and cultural connection strategy for your city
✓ Employment readiness timeline integrated with settlement priorities
✓ Written action plan delivered after the session
Best suited for: Skilled migrants or families who want to approach their Australian settlement strategically rather than reactively.
👨👩👧👦 Family Settlement Package
Settling a family in Australia is a different challenge to settling as an individual. Schools, childcare, healthcare, community, children's wellbeing between two cultures - this package addresses the full family dimension of the migration journey across three dedicated sessions.
✓ Session 1: Settlement orientation and first 90-day planning for the whole family
✓ Session 2: Schools, childcare, and children's integration support
✓ Session 3: Community building, social connection, and long-term belonging
✓ Email support between sessions
✓ Resource pack including key contacts, websites, and community groups for your city
Who this is for: Families with children who want comprehensive support across every dimension of settling in Australia — not just the practical logistics.
🤝 Ongoing Settlement Mentoring
For migrants who want ongoing support as they navigate their Australian journey — beyond the first 90 days. Settlement challenges don't end after the first few months. Community, belonging, career transitions, family adjustments - these evolve over time and sometimes you just need someone who truly understands to talk it through with.
✓ Consistent support as your needs evolve
✓ Flexible session length - up to 60 minutes per session
✓ Agenda set by you - mentee led
✓ Led by Mohana — migrant, mother, community builder
✓ Get mentored by well settled migrants
✓ Email support between sessions
✓ Package discounts available for 3, 5, or 10 session blocks
Best suited for: Migrants who are keen to learn from the experience of earlier migrants who have got it right and integrated well within the community or anyone who wants to build confidence and knowledge to achieve professional and personal growth.
