Chandler Educational Consulting is the only independent educational consultant in the Oceania region whose primary focus is on placing international school students into universities in Australia and New Zealand. We’ve built deep, on-the-ground expertise in the higher education landscapes of Australia and New Zealand — giving students informed, honest guidance on pathways that are often overlooked and genuinely excellent.
About Christina Chandler
Christina Chandler brings over 25 years of experience in international education, with a career spanning high schools, universities, government, and international organisations across Australia, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Her deep familiarity with university admissions in both Australia and the USA — including scholarship opportunities and the full range of institutional options — means students get advice grounded in real expertise.
Christina holds a Bachelor’s Degree in International Affairs and a Master’s Degree in Education. She is based in Australia, and when she’s not helping students find their path, you’ll find her cycling, sailing, or hiking with her dog.
Our Commitment to Ethical Practice
All CEC consultants operate under the NACAC guidelines of ethical practice. We do not accept commissions from any university, and we hold no contracts to promote specific institutions. Our clients pay a set fee for CEC services — either as a comprehensive package or by the hour — and we are never financially incentivised to steer a student toward any particular university. Your interests come first, always.
