Opening an Australian bank account when you're newly arrived
What to have ready, how the branch appointment works, and why a new account often starts out limited.
Read the full guide →Arriving is never one task. It's a hundred small ones, most of them unfamiliar. Fore Consultancy handles the practical side of getting set up in Australia, then keeps working with you on the harder part: building a career, leading a team, and making a life here.
One consultant, from the first email to the last session.
Most clients find us for the practical help: the bank appointment, the rental application, the address they don't have yet. Many stay for the second pillar, which is where the larger change happens.
The unfamiliar administration of arriving somewhere new, handled alongside you rather than explained at you. Task-based, billed hourly, closed out when it's done.
Structured, ongoing guidance on what no form covers: how Australian workplaces actually operate, how to lead within them, and how to hold your footing while you do.
Most people arriving here don't need a law firm or a migration agency for every question. They need someone who answers the phone, knows how the process actually runs, and says plainly when a question belongs to a licensed professional.
One consultancy coordinating both the practical setup and the longer-term development, instead of ten separate providers.
Guidance grounded in how the process actually runs in Western Australia, drawn from direct experience rather than a generic checklist.
Mentorship runs as fixed-price packages agreed upfront. Practical support is billed hourly in 15-minute increments, with a written estimate before larger work.
We state plainly when a matter requires a migration agent, lawyer, licensed adviser or clinical professional, and refer you on.
Most of our clients come to us during or just after a move to Australia — that's the situation we know best and the reason the practical and developmental sides sit together. But mentorship isn't limited to newcomers. If you're already established here and want structured guidance on your work, your team or your leadership, you're welcome to get in touch.

Read the full guide →Flat hierarchies, directness that isn't meant to be rude, and a particular relationship with punctuality and small talk.
Read the full guide →We define this clearly because getting it right matters as much as the support we provide. Fore Consultancy is not a Registered Migration Agent, lawyer, tax agent, licensed financial adviser, licensed real estate agent, recruiter, counsellor or psychologist, and does not provide advice reserved to those professions. Where your question belongs to one of them, we say so and refer you on.
We're a newer consultancy, so we'd rather show you what we hold ourselves to than fill this page with quotes. Client feedback goes up as engagements finish.
You'll hear back from a person, not a ticketing system. If we can't help, we'll tell you that quickly too.
We scope the work first. Larger pieces get a written estimate before anything starts, so the cost is never a surprise.
One point of contact from your first call to your last session. You're never re-explaining your situation to someone new.
Book a short call and we'll map out what support looks like for your situation, and what it would cost, before you commit to anything.
