Short in time?
Australia ranks 11th globally for women, according to the Women, Peace and Security Index released in October 2023. This assessment considers factors like employment opportunities, safety levels, and inclusion in economic, political, and legal domains. Here are key facts you should know.
At the forefront: Women throughout Australia’s history
There’s no denying it: Australia has long been a safe place for its female population, persistently advancing towards equality and inclusion despite evident challenges.
Second only to New Zealanders globally in securing the right to vote, Australian women made significant strides in politics as early as 1902 when they became eligible for federal parliament elections. Edith Cowan made history by winning a seat in the West Australian Legislative Assembly in 1921, marking the first official entry of a woman into politics. Since then, women’s presence and influence in institutional settings have steadily grown. Currently, 38% of parliamentarians are women.
While there remains much ground to cover, Australia has witnessed remarkable instances of unprecedented success. In 2010, for example, all of Sydney’s top offices were held by women: Clover Moore as Lord Mayor and State Member, Kristina Keneally as State Premier, Marie Bashir as State Governor, Julia Gillard as Prime Minister, Quentin Bryce as Governor-General of Australia and Elizabeth II as Australian Head of State.
Women’s present: Australia’s ongoing progress
Today, statistics show that Australia is actively pursuing equality in three key areas.
Education
Australia boasts the fourth-highest rate of women with tertiary education among OECD countries. Almost two-thirds of women (63.3%) have qualifications beyond secondary school, with more than one-third (35.2%) having a bachelor’s degree or higher.
- What’s in it for you? Access to quality education and high-level qualifications for your future endeavors.
Employment and Economy
40% of managers in Australia are women, 6 points above the OECD average. This compares with 27% in Italy and 34% in Spain. However, please read the numbers carefully: challenges indeed remain.
- What’s in it for you? Increased opportunities for career advancement and leadership roles in various industries.
Diversity and Inclusion
Australia’s female population is diverse. According to the Women Report Card 2023, 28.3% are foreign-born and 48.5% have at least one foreign-born parent. These figures underscore Australia’s reputation as a multicultural and remarkably inclusive nation.
- What’s in it for you? A vibrant and inclusive society where your unique background and experiences are valued.
A matter of priorities
What’s positive is that the Australian government recognizes gender equality as a national priority. Each year, the Women’s Economic Equality Taskforce (WEET) is required to submit a report to the Australian Parliament detailing the progress and effectiveness of government policies aimed at achieving economic equality. Recently, the 2023 report was released, along with a 10-year plan to increase women’s participation in the Australian economy.
Plus, with a pay gap of 11.6%, Australia is below the global average for pay inequality, marking an all-time low. While significant progress has been made, there is still much to be done.
What more can be done?
The journey to true inclusivity is an ongoing one; it requires continuous commitment and effort. This is especially true in Australia. For example, it’s imperative to amplify the voices of Aboriginal women and girls, who are often underrepresented, marginalized, and unsupported. Progress in this area remains very slow, underscoring the urgent need to rapidly accelerate efforts.
Our commitment: A shared future
At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to inclusivity – a principle that knows no bounds of gender and extends to all. While the term “inclusion” is widely recognized and embraced, we prefer to talk about a “shared” future. Inclusivity, while valuable, often focuses only on one side of the equation and overlooks the bigger picture. Our aim is broader: to cultivate a future shared by all. For us, inclusion means giving everyone exactly what they need to be successful.
Before you go…
Here’s some bonus Information: So you know just about everything
- Australia is one of the safest countries in the world, with Sydney and Melbourne both ranking in the top 10 safest cities. Brisbane and Perth are also known for their safety.
- People feel comfortable and secure in Australia, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Moreover, Australia stands out as one of the most LGBTQIA+ friendly countries worldwide.
- Australia prides itself on being one of the most welcoming and multicultural nations in the world.
- Australia places a strong emphasis on women’s rights and reducing inequality, recognizing women as vital resource for the future.
- Australia has one of the highest minimum wages in the world at over A$23 per hour.

We helped 40,000+ students ❤️!
Super agency, Chloe Vinet helped me from start to finish, always available, I absolutely recommend it.
Super efficient service. Beto very gentle and attentive. He cleared up the doubts and was of great help. They approved my visa so I'm happy
So glad to have chosen Go Study to help me with my student visa and school paperworks. I had Elisa Gonzalez as a counselor and she was very friendly and professional all the time. She was always responsive and provided a lot of information when I had doubts or questions. Thank you!
Excelent reception! Vanessa is extremely attentive and helpful! I highly recommend it.
I want to express my deep gratitude and satisfaction for the excellent work that my agent Robert Folch did. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, dedication, and commitment at every step of the process. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to solve any problem that arose were impressive. Not only did he meet all my expectations, but he exceeded them by far. I highly recommend Robert Folch to anyone looking for quality service and a seamless experience. Thank you for your excellent work.
Chloe provided me with an exceptional support in applying for my visa. She is knowledgeable, patient, professional, friendly, and incredibly organised. I am really grateful for her work: there was absolutely no way I could have done that on my own. She made the whole experience easy to understand and smooth.On a side note, every other communication with staff members in the Sydney office was courteous and helpful. I highly recommend GoStudy for student visa applications, they really care about the quality of their service.
Thank you Robert for all! Really your predisposition, constant help in everything, great guide for us in this process! Thank you!!! Flo&Juan
I enrolled in a school with Elisa, who was very attentive and helped me throughout the process!! always very responsive and helpful, I thank her very much for this quality service!!
Alessandro from the Melbourne’s office provided outstanding assistance with my Australian visa application. He was incredibly available and responsive, always answering my questions promptly. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine kindness made the process smooth and stress-free. Such a hard worker! Working with him felt like working with a friend; he was always friendly and approachable. Thanks to his help, I was able to complete my application without any issues. I highly recommend Alessandro for his exceptional service and support.
I met Elisa, my counsellor from Go Study, in June 2023 at a hostel in Sydney by chance, right after I arrived on a working holiday visa. I shared my plan to stay in Australia with a student visa, and after a year of back-and-forth discussions, we decided that pursuing a Master's in Accounting would be the best fit for quality education and opportunities in Australia.Elisa helped me find the top universities and encouraged me to apply for study scholarships since master's programs are quite expensive. She was quick and organized in the application process, and we ended up securing the largest scholarship offered by Kaplan Institute to its students (30% off). This made a big difference financially, making the final cost comparable to other lower-quality courses in Australia.Elisa was always patient in answering my questions, even the long ones in audio messages, about visa applications, work options as a student, visa approval timelines, and she shared stories of other students to give me a better idea of the processes. She also introduced me to one of her students who became a good friend.When it was time to apply for the student visa, Elisa was thorough and gave me great advice on the necessary documents. She also suggested additional documents to strengthen my application, considering my nationality and the reputation of the college I planned to attend. Her attention to detail and guidance led to an AUTOMATIC GRANTED (which is rare for Argentinian passports, given the current processing delays of five months by immigration).I'm incredibly grateful to Elisa for her support throughout the year we worked together until I got my visa approved. I'm also thankful to Go Study for their professionalism and patience, as they provided me with a wide range of course options tailored to my profile, making me feel well-informed and supported throughout the process.
I appreciate the willingness that Robert Folch had, he was always kind enough to answer all my messages and respond with solutions, very respectful in dealing with me.
Working with Roberto was an absolute pleasure. Their service was impeccable, all information was delivered clearly and efficiently. He always took the time to resolve all my doubts and the result of my life was immediate, which I know was largely thanks to his management and merit as a professional. For this reason, I fully recommend their assistance and would request their services a thousand times more.
I have applied my study visa with Robert Folch, and he was amazing, he helped me with every Doubt that I had and it was all really fast. I was very nervous about buying the visa and he helped me with all the papers and made it easier! I really recommend go study if you are interested in having a student visa! It was fantastic for me and I’m super grateful
Very happy with the attention and care that the agency is taking in my process, especially with the service provided by Vanessa Vieira, who was very attentive and helpful, always answering my questions with great patience! 🙂 I recommend!
It all worked out in my visa application process. From reaching out to Go Study and receiving great guidance from Vanessa Vieira to the quick approval of my visa. Special thanks to Vanessa, who has always been very attentive and positive! 🙂
We were very well advised, guided by Vanessa from Go Study here in Brazil. She was always willing to answer our questions about my son's exchange.
very professional, the truth is that I had a problem and the only one that offered me help was the “GO STUDY” agency, especially the attention of Robert, who without knowing me, solved my problems and resolved my doubts, for his great work and attention. , I decided to change my visa renewals with them, the truth is that I recommend them 100%
Professional and caring education experts.I was lucky to have chosen Go Study Australia for taking care of my uni application and student visa considering that all my friends were unhappy with their agents for being slow, unresponsive or not professional enough.Thanks to Chloe and her team of experts they studied my situation and came up with various strategies, even though my case is a little unusual and required additional efforts and time.Chloe was persistent with universities and regularly pushed them pretty hard for faster processing of my applications which was critical to me as there were a few surprises from unis down the road and I was almost out of time before my visa expired.Considering the importance of the issue and how stressful the process of getting into uni and applying for a visa can be, I would highly recommend Go Study Australia as a friendly, helpful and professional agency for your study and visa needs.
Excellent company and very professional.My visa came out quickly and was very fluid.Vane (Vanessa Vieira) is always attentive, helpful and attentive.I just have to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Today I'm making a sueño with your help.
Totally grateful to Elisa González for the immense support and accompaniment in this process. Beyond the advice with everything it implies (answering questions, generating contacts, support in all letters, managing the information on the page, searching for plan Z to make this possible and more), I highlight trust, good vibes, disposition and temperance in accompanying, especially for someone who is just beginning to take their first steps in the world of traveling, where everything is new and doubts and fears do not take long to arrive. THANK YOU ELI! I hope I meet more Elis in this world, people who have that level of commitment and empathy, who deeply understand that emigrating is much more than managing a procedure.
It has been 9 months since I arrived in Sydney from Madrid and from the first day Beto has been there to help me whenever I needed it (TFN, letters, resumens).Now that I have finished my classes and had the intention of extending my visa and choosing which course to focus my experience on again, Beto has been with me full time to find the best option for me, adapting to my needs.The truth is that I couldn't have had a better guide, very helpful and always with encouragement and positivity which is often needed being so far away from home.Many thanks for everything to Beto and Pedro (from Madrid) because I am living an unforgettable experience.
The staff member I dealt with was excellent. She answered all questions given and helped me not only get onto my desired course, but also secured me my visa.
Terrible experience, the only thing they did was take money and the truth is that when I arrived in Australia I had no contact with the person who was going to guide me Adriana Quiñones, terrible attention and treatment, I recommend that if they can come for you, they do so... you will only lose money with the agencies and they lie to them
I highly recommend Go Study Australia, but specially my advisor, Elisa Gonzalez.She helped me in all the process, Elisa offered me all the information about the proper courses, she guide me in every step and answered me all my concerns very quickly.Thanks Elisa for being and helping in every step!
I would like to thanks Ludmila for her great work on my visa application. She has done a perfect and quick job on my last minute application, always being helpful and very efficient during the process.Thanks Ludmila and Go Study for the support.
When it comes to immigration agency and agent, we are talking about commitment and trust, and we perfectly describe "GO STUDY AUSTRALIA", having Beto as my agent has been a tremendous support and very trustworthy. Thank you for making my dream come true 🙌🏽
Lorenzo has been a massive help, he’s helped me twice over 2 years and always been great. I hope he gets a big Christmas bonus as it’s well deserved
Alexandre took care of my file, everything was done perfectly and without problem, very good communication and always present in case of problems or questions
My experience with this Go Study was excellent, it is a very transparent agency. Beto was the one who helped me through the entire process, he was super friendly, answered all my questions and made the entire process easy to understand, plus he is very time efficient. I would definitely recommend this agency above the others.
I had the pleasure of working with Beto at Go Study, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Beto's expertise and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly knowledgeable, addressing all my concerns with patience and clarity. The attention to detail and personalized assistance truly set this agency apart. I highly recommend their services, especially with Beto as your advisor. Thank you for making my visa journey a positive experience!
Thank you go study for helping me ! But the biggest thank you goes to Robert who always answered all my questions, knew what to do and helped me so much with everything!! He was so nice and patient with me. Lots of thanks to you Robert !
Big thanks to Ludmilla for making my visa extension a success! Really appreciate it!

My agent Robert helped me through the process of my visa application. He was always very attentive and explained me every step with clarity. We kept a fluent communication even we were located in different countries and time zones. Excellent service and assistance!
I went in May to have information about student/working holiday visas.They told me that the working was very cumbersome and the best thing was the student (obviously to sell).I went to another agency because they did not answer my questions and unfortunately I trusted them with the issue that working was a long process with a lot of paperwork and in the end it turns out that it is not so long. Too bad for me because I should have asked my new agency.Here I am with 24 hours of legal work for trusting your agent's word. Guys, do research for yourself too.Mind you, don't fall for these things, now there is a lot of information on the subject and I wish instead of going to them I had seen more things.
I completely recommend Go Study for anyone going to Australia. Vanessa has helped since the beginning of the process. She was incredible in every detail!
I had a great experience with Go Study. In my case, the one who accompanied me was Elisa González. Honestly, a genius! Not only very committed to accompanying you in registration, but also in the study process. She was always very attentive to details. She is a person very willing to collaborate, even with questions not so related to the study, she was always attentive to help me with what I asked her. Thanks Eli! Highly recommended! 🙂
Thank you Go Study and Elisa for helping me with my visa and the accompaniment. Plus they cleared up all my doubts right away 😊
I want to express my gratitude to Robert Folch who very selflessly helped me with processing my student visa, showing his altruistic spirit towards individuals coming from other countries. Without knowing us, he lends a helping hand to enable us to forge a better future in this beautiful country.Thank you for everything.
Ana Paula was my agent in Go Study. Ana, I wanna thanks you for all your patience, compassion, for your advice and responsiveness, for helping me with college, visa, for your moral support.I also express my gratitude to the entire GoStudy team. I hope to cooperate in the near future.
I’m very grateful to one of the agents from Go Study, Elisa Gonzalez, who has been helping me with my journey here in Sydney. She has been guiding me and providing all the information for all the steps for the visa applications, we have lodged 5 successful student visas in 4 years. I will always be thankful for all the support she had offered me, not just her but Go Study!
Couldn't have been more grateful for the support and help I received from Go Study. From looking for schools to preparing for IELTS and to enrolment. Every step of the way was made easier thanks to Go Study. Special thank you to Ana Paula Merchan who had arranged for everything from the start (no details were missed and I was able to have a smooth enrolment at such a tight timeframe), and also to Sabrine Barbosa who lodged my visa!
I’m very thankful to my agent Ana Paula Merchan for being so supportive towards my journey here in Sydney Australia, and assisting me in achieving the very first step towards my dream, and to be able to study and stay in Australia. I will be forever grateful and thankful for all the help she had offered.
I have been with Go Study for a while now and always had the help I needed. If you need help for your student visa this is the place the go for. I particularly recommend Dhorian Bec who’s always been of good help, empathetic, patience, he tries to understand your needs to suggest the most suitable options for you. Moreover he has always been available for me when I needed. 🙏🏽

A really welcoming, friendly supportive, well informed company. I didn't know what to do or where to go, so I went to their open day and from there, I was presented with an abundance of help. I was told by an amazing agent, Robert, that he would help throughout the entire process cost-free. He helped me with obtaining a Visa, course enrolment and filling out all the necessary documents which would have been a complete mess without him. I highly recommend this company :))
A friend recommended Robert Folch to manage my student Visa. The truth is that thanks to Robert everything was simple, easy and fast. I have obtained my visa in only 2 weeks. Whenever I had a question, he helped me. Full confidence, without a doubt I am already recommending him and Go Study to obtain the student visa.
Robert's service was excellent; he made the process easy and helped us a lot. He was always willing to answer our questions (and we had quite a few) and gave us confidence throughout the entire process. Today I'm in school and we have our visa approved, thanks to his excellent work and Go Study.
I'm very happy to have chosen Go Study to keep on with my vocational, educational and training in Australia. It's helped me to develop a lot of skills and knowledge. The programs were always according to my needs.I want specially to thank a lot to my agent Elisa González, who since the first moment was keen to answer my questions and give me advice about anything I needed.Again, so happy to have chosen Go Study 🙂
I highly recommend my amazing student advisor Elisa Gonzalez from GoStudy. Her job was absolutely outstanding. She arranged both my student visa and my partner's. I've been an international student here in Australia for two and a half years and she helped not only with the application process but also throughout all my stay. She's always actively involved with her students and making sure they have all the information they need. I get easily distracted and tend to forget things 😅 so having Elisa there for me to remind me of everything was just life-saving. I would always be grateful for her professionalism and dedication. It's never easy to be away from home and having her accompanying me all the way definitely made it easier. I'm so pleased I chose her and studying abroad was definitely one the most incredible experiences of my whole life.
I am lucky to have Dhorian Bec working with me as a student agent.His understanding in the complexity of the folder and his incredible skills in time management have lead to the success of an epic credits transfer to an other Uni!!!So happy and grateful for your work Mate! 🙏🏼Wish you all the best for your career👑, and 💯blessing to all the positives contribution you will provide in the journey of other students. 💫Good luck every body.Do not hesitate to choose Go Study 💪
Beto (Roberto Folch) on behalf of Go Study helped me out with my academic process as well as with the visa application. He was very diligent and kind during the whole process.Once I had all the documentation and had paid the required fees, the process took few days to be ready (administrative issues only).Beto did a great job. If You're interested in going to Australia, he can guide you to have a successful process.
Recently I got a new visa and Go study has helped me with orginisation. I was led by Carolina Castro through the process and honestly it was one of the most proffesional help I've ever got. She was very quick with everything, perfectly organised, helpful and super kind. This whole stressful process was way more calming thanks to her 🙂 Thank you again and definately I'll recommend your help to anyone who needs it.
Hi! Me and my girlfriend are very happy with all the help and support that Robert Folch has and still continues to give us. He's been very professional and understanding, always giving us a lot of information on what we ask. Very happy to have him as a our student agent. Hope you guys are having a nice day. Cheers!
Go study Australia was very helpful with all the paper work we needed for our visa application. I can assure that they are reliable and a serious agency who will do their best effort to get your visa approved asap. Virginie was our agent and she answered all our questions and she also offered us the best deals between the courses we were interested for our studies. I would definitely recommend them.
Met Carolina from Go Study yesterday in Sydney. She was so lovely & welcoming!Next to that I want to give a big shoot out to Elvire! She has been helping me the past couple of weeks with my student visa. She has just been incredible. Pushing me gently to write the best motivation letter, attention for detail, always there to help with any questions I have. Simply amazing work team!! Keep it up!
A fantastic organisation!. Beto Folch was my agent and working with him has made my first time in Australia a smooth and fun experience. He truly cares about what you need, and he went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information required to make the right decision, he was very friendly, patient, helpful and answered all my questions. I did get to meet some of the other team members, and they were also as friendly, upbeat, and professional as Beto. I would recommend him unreservedly.Thank you for the amazing support!
When I was looking for a student visa and advice on how to do it, 4 years ago, a friend recommended me to Virginie, working at go study. Virginie has been taking care of me since and has been really professional by studying my profile, listening to what I was looking for and offering multitude option that could suit me. After being effective with the process of finding the right placement for me, she also came back to me regularly to check if everything was ok, if I was still happy with my school and if she could help on anything. Her really kind personality is also a must and I highly recommend her to everyone! Thanks again!
Amazing Service! Lorenzo helped me with everything and was so professional! I honestly couldn’t believe such a good service for free!
I have had the best experience with Go Study Australia! Virginie Martinez is amazing and very professional. She has been really helpful, friendly and efficient every time I needed her. If you are looking at studying in Australia, I highly recommend Virginie and the Go Study team.
I have been in touch with Virginie M. and she's been very helpful. I am really happy with my studies.
Blanca Campos was very helpful. She truly cares about what you need. And she went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information and all my documentation sorted.
