Discover miXagent ↓WHY MIXAGENT? WHY NOW?
High influence.
Limited visibility.
Education agents play a critical role in helping international students navigate their study options, applications and transition to a new country.
Yet institutions often have limited independent visibility into the quality of advice students receive, the expectations being set and how well those expectations align with students' actual experiences.
At the same time, expectations around transparency, accountability and ethical recruitment are increasing. Institutions need reliable evidence to understand agent performance, identify emerging risks and demonstrate effective oversight.
Student feedback is a critical, but often missing, piece of the education agent governance puzzle.
miXagent has been developed to help close this gap.
INTRODUCING MIXAGENT
Turning student experience into evidence for better agent governance.
miXagent is a standardised student survey and comparative insights platform designed to evaluate the agent-supported recruitment journey, from initial research and application through to arrival, enrolment and early student experience.
By capturing feedback directly from students who have used education agents, miXagent helps institutions understand and improve five critical areas.
01 · Understand agent quality
Evaluate the accuracy, clarity and usefulness of advice and support provided to students.
02 · Measure expectation alignment
Identify gaps between what students were told to expect and what they actually experience.
03 · Identify emerging risks
Surface potential misinformation, poor practices, financial vulnerability and other early warning signals.
04 · Benchmark performance
Develop comparative insights across agents, markets and participating institutions as the benchmark grows.
05 · Strengthen governance
Generate independent evidence to inform agent selection, performance reviews, due diligence and continuous improvement.
WORKING TOGETHER
A shared approach to evidence, accountability and continuous improvement.
miXagent is being developed in partnership with education institutions to establish a consistent and scalable approach to understanding agent-supported student experiences.
Participating institutions help refine the survey framework and integrate it into existing student engagement processes. miXabroad manages survey delivery, data collection, analysis and reporting, minimising the administrative burden on institutions.
One shared evidence base. Three levels of impact.
For institutions
Strengthen agent oversight, identify opportunities for improvement and make more informed decisions.
For education agents
Better understand the student experience delivered, recognise strong performance and identify areas for improvement.
For the sector
Develop a clearer, evidence-based understanding of education agent quality and good practice.
miXagent complements existing governance and quality assurance frameworks, adding an independent student perspective to institutional decision-making.
OUR INAUGURAL PARTNERS
Launching October 2026
We are delighted to be launching miXagent with six leading Australian education institutions.
Our sincere thanks to our launch partners Edith Cowan University, Griffith University, Monash University, Navitas, UNSW Sydney and University of Sydney for their commitment to strengthening education agent quality and helping establish a shared, student-led evidence base for the sector.
Together, we are working to test and refine the miXagent framework, establish meaningful comparative measures and explore how student feedback can better inform agent governance and continuous improvement.
BUILT ON MIXABROAD
Proven foundations.
New applications for student voice.
miXagent builds on miXabroad's established benchmark architecture, survey methodology and comparative reporting infrastructure, extending our approach to measuring student experience into international student recruitment.
Watch this space as we continue to expand how student experience is measured, compared and used to drive meaningful improvement.
