Rashmi Malhotra
Your Guide to a Confident New Beginning in Australia
Hi! I’m Rashmi, and I’ve called Sydney home for the past 25 years. My life journey began in India, where I was born and raised. After gaining a Bachelor's and Master’s Degree in Applied Psychology from Delhi University, I moved to Australia in 2000 as an international student to pursue a Graduate Diploma in Business Computing from Western Sydney University (WSU).
After acquiring some corporate work experience in the banking and recruitment industries, I took a hiatus to focus on raising my two children, who are now in High School and University. Along the way, in my quest for further self development, I gained a Cert IV in HR from TAFE and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology(ACAP). I currently work for the Australian Government.
Beyond my professional qualifications and experience, I am extremely passionate about helping people and actively contribute to the community by volunteering as a Justice of the Peace (NSW), teaching scripture at a public school, and participating in religious and community service organizations.
Having personally navigated the challenges of moving to a new country, I understand how overwhelming and uncertain this transition can be—especially without the right support. That’s why I offer confidential, personalized consultations to help new migrants—whether students, professionals, or homemakers—adapt, settle in, and thrive in Australia.
No question is too small or insignificant. If it matters to you, it matters to me! Let’s discuss your unique circumstances and find solutions that work for you.
