Philippines to Australia Podcast

Knowledge is power! We don’t believe in keeping clients and potential clients in the dark. Those who make informed decisions make better decisions, we find.

I (Jeff Harvie) write all of our BLOG articles. The podcast episodes are expansions on BLOG articles, where I discuss the topics in more detail and in an ad lib fashion. More like a normal conversation that I may otherwise have on a topic that matters.

So, if you have an interest in Australian visa applications from Philippines, especially if you have a strong desire to have a successful application yourself with a happy outcome, then I would strongly suggest that you subscribe to this podcast series and don’t miss a single thing. Hope it all helps you and hope you enjoy!
