Founder and Management
Ms Joy Thanawan Thaiposri
Joy is an expert in Australian education and visa, with her long experience in the industry since 1994 as the Director of Stellar Education & Visa Centre. It all began when she was an Australian University student, at a time where there was a serious lack of education agencies or student service providers available. It was extreamly difficult to find course details or information on how to live in and adjust to life in a new country.
Joy decided to start the business with only one staff member, herself. Back in 1994 when she established Stellar, there were limited communication channels available, and had to mainly rely on telephone and fax to assist students regarding their education and visas in Australia, all while trying to facilitate their change in lifestyle in unfamiliar surroundings.
Since then, Stellar continues to grow larger but the one thing that has never changed is her aim to give the best service possible to overseas students. Moreover, she is still maintaining the quality of the company with her capability and accuracy in terms of education and visa information, while also promoting the Australian Education industry to attract more international students to study in Australia.
Joy holds a Bachelor Degree in Communication Arts from Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), Graduate Diploma of Tourism Management from University of Technology (Sydney, Australia) and a Master of Business Administration from Southern Cross University (Australia). In addition to this, she has gained a Certificate of International Education Services from PIER as a qualified education counsellor, Certificate of Australian Immigration Law and Practice from University of New South Wales (Australia).
