About Us

Qualified Counselors Who've Lived the Journey

OZ ScholarLinks was founded by Becky Nguyen, in collaboration with Xuan Luong as advisor and business partner. Both are Qualified Education Agent Counsellors who share a strong passion for education.

Our Story

Why We Started OZ ScholarLinks

Australia gave Becky and Xuan opportunities that changed their lives. So they started OZ ScholarLinks to help more students get that same chance — built on a real appreciation for this country and a belief in what a good education can do.

Becky was a proud recipient of a full Australian Government scholarship to study at the University of New South Wales. Xuan founded a school in Vietnam and recently moved to Australia, where her daughters are pursuing university education.

The team has since welcomed two professionals, Le Nhat Nguyen and Phuong Nguyen. All share the journey of moving to Australia for study & career development, and a strong appreciation of Australia’s world-class education. With four core team members across Australia’s major cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, we are committed to helping aspiring students to navigate overseas study, choose the right academic pathways and achieve their long-term career aspirations.

OZ ScholarLinks is supported by a solid client base and established networks. The company is backed by its sister school, with an established brand in Vietnam, and has partnerships with schools, language centres, homestay providers and other organisations across Vietnam and Australia.

Le Nhat Nguyen, team member at OZ ScholarLinks

Le Nhat Nguyen

Consultant

Le is based in Adelaide, Australia and is responsible for both business development and governance & compliance of OZ ScholarLinks.

Le spent 12 years building a career in financial and accounting roles in Vietnam before relocating to Australia in 2017. Since then, she has been working in senior roles at Australian accounting firms, gaining first-hand, practical experience of Australian financial systems, compliance standards and the realities of settling into life and work in Australia.

That dual perspective — over a decade of financial discipline paired with the personal experience of migrating from Vietnam to study, live, work and grow in Australia — is the foundation OZ ScholarLinks was built on. Le joins the consultancy to give Vietnamese students and their families the same clear-eyed, financially grounded guidance that would have made her own transition easier, paired with genuine care for each student's long-term success.
