Down Under Centre Reviews 290

We would like to say thank you to Karlien Matthysen, Skills Assessment Consultant at Down Under Centre. Throughout the process for us to Immigrate to Australia she has been incredibly supportive, guiding us with any questions we had. Her assistance was particularly invaluable when it came to the Skills Assessment for my husband. Her timely and thorough responses to our emails made all the difference, and we are truly grateful to her and the entire team for their support. Keep up the great work :)

A big shout out to Natasha Ryan and the team at the Down Under Centre. I received a positive TRA skills assessment thanks to them. The DUC portal is set up in a real user-friendly way and the team are so quick to respond once documents are uploaded. The TRA went through without them coming back with any further queries. Natasha communicated back and forth with me to ensure she had all the required documentation to make this happen.
Thanks again team!

We had a good experience. Andrew and the team made a great job! Thank you guys (:

We had an awful experience with another agent so when we approached the down under center we was nervous. Vic was very helpful, explained everything was completely open and gave us all of the information we needed. The whole process was streamlined and we got our visa through in March.

Now out in Perth WA loving life and so happy we made the move.

Thank you Vic and the down under center.

I cannot even begin to put into words how much I’d recommend the DUC. Honestly the service they offer is absolutely life changing. I had the first consultation call with DUC in June 2023, and received my permanent 190 visa July 2025. It’s been a long process but I couldn’t have done it without the DUC team, they’re so knowledgeable in particular Jenny for answering my million questions and Doug for helping me collate everything for my skills assessment. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about making the move to Australia. Thank you DUC!

The DUC have been incredible from start to finish with us. We started our visa process with a company who unfortunately let us down and we were struggling. Thankfully we attended an event in Glasgow and here we met the DUC team. Wes was fantastic answering a lot of questions we had. We then had a free consultation with Jenny and booked their services to help us on our way to Australia. We were going from strength to strength with the support and guidance from all at the DUC. In October 2019 we were ready to submit our visa application. Then Covid hit and we lost all hope. But the DUC didn’t. Eventually in March 2023 we got our visa approved. A lot had changed so we activated our visa in February 2024. And now it’s 2025 and our house is finally on the market and we hope to be in Australia by November 2025! We are so grateful for everything the DUC done for us. From a wonderful met up held at their office to meet others on the same journey, to support and encouragement to continue chasing our dream when we nearly gave up. Overall we would recommend this company to everyone and anyone considering their move down under!

What made my experience great was working with a client manager that was very patient and assistive all the way and always available to help, assist, clarify and advise. DUC did exceptionally well in explaining to me the process and how the agent works which I hope its a chance many others to take this path will get.

Jenny & Doug was absolutely brilliant. Kept us well informed throughout and always on the end of a phone or email for any questions. A tough process but made easier with the DUC. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Thanks so much!

We started with the DUC in August 2024 and had visa granted July 2025. Throughout the whole process we were kept well informed, very helpful even with constant question emails. Everything ran so smoothly and they took care of everything. Would definitely recommend and will be using the DUC to change to permanent visas. There is so much this company offers with the visa, skills assessment, employment, relocation which has made things easier.

I will never forget this day. Because to my absolute joy I received the news that my Resident Return Visa has been granted. This was down to the fantastic work by Vic O’Neill who explained the process clearly, sent me all necessary links and info required in order to submit my RRV application in double quick time. I cannot thank Vic enough for turning a complex application into a successful application. I wholeheartedly recommend The Down Under Centre and Vic for a great experience from start to finish.

The team helped and guided me throughout the process of my skill assessment. I would also like to thank Jiwanjot Singh for being responsive all the time during the process of my assessment.

We’ve been with this team for over 7 years, and their honesty and knowledge have been second to none. From day one, Wes gave me genuine, down-to-earth advice — no pressure, no sales pitch — just real support. As a young woman trying to find her way, that honesty and kindness stuck with me and helped shape my path.

Wes, Jenny and Douglas have always been upfront and realistic, which made it easy to trust them completely. For me, there was no Plan B — it had to be Australia — and knowing they had our back through it all was truly priceless.

A heartfelt thank you to a team who are not only experts, but honest people who genuinely have your best interests at heart. Thanks to you, I have had an unforgettable experience in Oz and we now look forward to our future there.

I contacted Wes from Down Under Centre. He brought Vic on board to help with my visa. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Made the whole process so easy to understand. So professional and supportive. Always there to answer questions and put your mind at ease. They go above and beyond. You guys are the best.

My supervisor was very helpful he helped me all the way through till I got my successful outcome of my skilled assessment
Thank you very much

We had an outstanding experience with the DUC from start to finish. We had our first call with Jenny in July 2024 and signed up with the DUC in September 2024. We are now living in Perth on a 190 visa (left UK on 10th May)!
For anyone thinking about using an agent I would 100% recommend the DUC and Jenny Baker in particular.
Thank you for making our dreams come true 😍

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natasha and Melissa at Duc Agents, and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. They were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process of collecting my documents for my OTSR, which was essential for my migration plans.

From the start, they were proactive in explaining what documents were needed and how to present them to meet the requirements. Whenever I had questions, they responded quickly and clearly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Their professionalism and dedication ensured that everything was submitted smoothly and on time.

I am deeply grateful for their assistance and highly recommend Natasha and Melissa to anyone needing help with document preparation for the skills assessment. Their expertise and friendly approach made all the difference.

DUC have been great to deal with from start to finish! In particular, Lauren Watters supported us with the 2nd stage of our partner visa and we truly can’t thank her and the team enough — they made what could have been a difficult process feel so smooth and easy.
Lauren’s clear and consistent communication made all the difference, and we really appreciated always feeling informed and supported.

Incredible service from a great set of people. Don’t waste your time with other agency’s. They are the best by far. Great community with the Facebook page also. Made our dreams come true. Thanks DUC!!

Louisa and Steve were very quick and helpful. It was a good experience through the skills Assessment with down under centre.
