Legal framework
In Melbourne, the state of Victoria has no dedicated entertainment-industry law like New South Wales. Model agencies there fall under the Australian Consumer Law, which bans misleading conduct, and Consumer Affairs Victoria warns against paid-portfolio scams. The principle is the same: a serious agency is paid on commission and never charges you upfront.
The modeling market in Melbourne
In Melbourne, 6 agencies represent men and 6 represent women. 4 represent Talent, 2 Senior, and one each for the Unique, Children and Curve boards. Melbourne is known for its creative scene and the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
How to apply to an agency in Melbourne
5 of the 6 agencies I list in Melbourne accept applications through an online form on their own website. For the last one, you make contact via the details on its profile. You send recent, unretouched polaroids in natural light, with your measurements and date of birth. No professional book at this stage. To work in Australia, a foreign model needs a work visa, typically the Temporary Activity visa (subclass 408), Entertainment stream, supported by an Australian organisation. A tourist visa does not allow paid work.
