New year. New beginnings. Real stories that remind us why we do this 💚

After nearly a decade of building a life in Australia, Brendan was forced to return home during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to support his family. Border closures, extended lockdowns, and the heartbreaking loss of his father delayed his return far longer than expected, ultimately leading to the expiry of his permanent residency.

Yet through every setback, Brendan’s heart never left Australia — a place he has always called home.

We’re honoured to have supported Brendan in telling his story with care and clarity. Journeys like his remind us that migration isn’t just a process — it’s deeply human.

Thank you, Brendan, for trusting us with your next chapter. ✨
