Where it began

In 2007, Audrey travelled to Australia on a working holiday visa for a year’s travelling where she met her future husband. They spent 8 years in Perth working and studying whilst enjoying all that Australia had to offer.

During this time, they went through an extensive migration process which involved various temporary working visas followed by permanent residency. They became citizens of Australia in June 2013.

Her career in Australian migration began when she started working for a Western Australian State Government owned corporation where she was responsible for recruiting skilled workers from Ireland and the UK. This then led to working with migration agencies and assisting with the migration process for skilled workers. Audrey had already developed a keen interest in migration as she had been through the process herself. She decided to start studying Australian migration law and practice in Murdoch University with a new dream of starting her own business as a migration agent. From experience, she felt a more personal and tailored approach was needed to guide clients through one of the biggest decisions of their life – relocating to Australia. This is where her business journey began and she founded Kelly & O’Connor Migration.
