Our vision

Australian education, holding the place in the Middle East that its quality has earned.

أن ينال التعليم الأسترالي المكانة التي يستحقها في الشرق الأوسط

That’s the work. Here’s who’s behind it.

The founder

Twenty years at the gate

Australian Education Gateway was founded by Hani Shadid after more than twenty years building the education corridor between the Middle East and Australia — establishing the Dubai and Kuwait offices of one of the region’s major consultancies, IGEC, then crossing the world to build and lead its Australia office as Country Manager.

Since 2008, Hani has been a Qualified Education Agent Counsellor — QEAC No. D059, accredited continuously ever since. Since 2010, he has hosted official government delegations to Australia. Along the way he has helped thousands of students find their place in Australian classrooms, and watched many of them walk across graduation stages.

AEG carries all of that forward under one discipline: quality first, always.

Our pillars

What we stand on

✦

The Star — champion Australia

We carry Australia’s case into every ministry, majlis and boardroom in the region — because quality this high deserves first choice.

The Cap — measure everything by the graduate

Our work isn’t counted in applications sent, but in students who arrive prepared, complete their studies, and return home as ambassadors for Australian education.

The Gate — build passages, not transactions

Every relationship is built to stay open — between universities and ministries, sponsors and campuses, two regions and their futures.

Why Australia only

One destination, known completely.

Many agencies will send you anywhere. We open one gate — and we know everything behind it. One education system, one national quality framework, one calendar of intakes, one set of cities and campuses — understood in depth, not in passing.

Specialisation isn’t a limitation. It’s the reason the advice is good.

The gate is open.
