PAX Migration Australia, a 2025 ThreeBestRated® Recipient, Shares Essential Tips for a Smooth Move
ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, April 29, 2025 / / -- According to the recent update from ThreeBestRated®, PAX Migration Australia has upheld their position as a top-performing immigration firm in Adelaide. On winning the award, PAX Migration felt thrilled and expressed their excitement, 'It is an amazing achievement. We are very proud to be acknowledged by ThreeBestRated®. At first, we probably felt a little bit embarrassed. Because we don't get out there all that much publicly. But, we now really see it as a reward for the effort we put in, and it gives us the encouragement to keep going.' PAX Migration happily shared their journey, some valuable insights, immigration challenges & their solutions for their audience. A Vision to Fill the Gap in Migration Services PAX Migration was founded by a dynamic husband and wife duo, Constantine Paxinos and Christina Katsouri in 2014. Christina, who was an English language teacher, had observed significant challenges in finding the right migration services through her students' experiences. She realized the need for full-time migration services in Adelaide, as the city was crowded with part-time agents. The couple decided to fill the gap by dedicating themselves to providing full-time migration services. However, the path was not a walk in the park, because of the complex, highly legalistic and constantly changing nature of the migration law. It is not like simply filling out a form—understanding Australian immigration requires a deep understanding of legal nuances and restrictions. Beyond that, it is crucial to interpret government policies, which frequently change—sometimes on a weekly basis—one has to be more vigilant about it. 'I was previously in finance and tax,' Constantine said. 'Tax law and immigration law are very similar in terms of being very voluminous. And so the biggest challenge in this field is dealing with the complexity of the law and the policy and the different stakeholders.' Despite the challenges along the way, PAX Migration remains a beacon of hope for people navigating immigration issues. Their reputation is built on their unwavering professionalism and reliable, up-to-date advice. Pax Migration stands out from the rest with their principles: >> Technical excellence. >> Exceptional customer service. >> Staying more vigilant of the legal changes. Constantine believes that technical expertise and constant vigilance helps them to provide accurate and timely advice to their clients, which in turn guarantees customer satisfaction. Newest and Upcoming Upcoming Election: Australia is currently in the midst of an election process, as the federal government, which controls immigration policy is more likely to see a shift in leadership. There may be changes in the governing party and that may have an impact on immigration. >> Emergence of Immigration Sentiments: The anti-immigration sentiments are anticipated to creep in. However, Constantine hopes that any government that comes into power will ultimately recognize the economic benefits of immigration to the nation. >> A Possible Comeback of Investor Visa: PAX Migration also foresees some changes in the investor visa area. The investor visa, which has been removed in Australia, but has been gaining traction in other countries like the United States—may return. >> Shifts in Migration Caps: Changes in terms of the number of migrants allowed into the nation are expected. 'That's something that everyone is watching, because the government has changed the way they've approached it. And the housing shortage has really driven that. And if that plays out, and recovers, then we can probably see numbers improve again in immigration.' >> New Doors Opening with Employer-Sponsored Policies: There are shifts in employer-sponsored immigration policies and labor agreements. These shifts may present new opportunities for businesses and individuals. Employers and skilled workers can explore different visa options under the employer-sponsored framework. Future Migrants Should Remember This! >> Housing First: For those planning to migrate to Adelaide, PAX Migration emphasizes careful planning, particularly regarding housing. 'It is not something you can just arrive and deal with when you're here. You need to really plan that out.' >> Plan with Family in Mind: Anyone can rent or purchase a property in Adelaide, but it is essential to plan ahead due to the additional costs associated with it while on a temporary visa. Additionally, schooling is another factor to consider for families with school-aged children. >> Driving is not Optional, But is Essential: Adelaide is an easy city to navigate and it is often called a '20-minute city', as one can reach most places within that time. However, it doesn't have a metro system like some larger cities. Additionally, Adelaide is not close to other major cities —it is a 2–3 hour flight to Sydney or Brisbane. Driving is almost essential here and having a valid driver's license will make getting around much easier.

Dr. Amer Smajkic At Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates Wins 2025 ThreeBestRated® Award
CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2025 / / -- ThreeBestRated®, a multi-national ranking organization, has released their annual updates recently. As per their updates, Psychiatrist, Dr. Amer Smajkic at Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates, has secured a spot among the top psychiatrists in Chicago. The team at the center is thrilled as this recognition remains a testament to their continued commitment to providing exceptional psychiatric care to children and adolescents throughout the Chicago area. 'It has been a privilege for over seven years now to be listed as one of the ThreeBestRated psychiatrists in the Chicago area,' stated Dr. Amer. 'At first, it was a great surprise. Later, I just tried to keep up with the challenge, good work, and stay in the game. What I like about ThreeBestRated® is that they do not operate like others doing this type of promotion for upfront money. Their appraisal or evaluation of the business is genuine, and honest, based on patient feedback and reviews which is very helpful to consumers. It is also meaningful for those who are trying to do good work for their clients and patients.' From Bosnia to Chicago—An Inspiring Journey Initially, Dr. Amer found his calling in psychiatry through a series of life-changing events. Originally a resident in vascular surgery in Bosnia, he was forced to flee due to war, becoming a refugee in the United States. His career took a meaningful turn as he began to work as a mental health counselor with traumatized Bosnian and Herzegovinian refugees who had survived genocide, ethnic cleansing, and concentration camps. At that time, he realized his passion and profound fulfillment in communicating with people. 'Doing that work did get my attention to the talent that I had or have which is talking to people. And, I also learned that working with children and adolescents is the most rewarding and I still enjoy it the most.' The Rise of Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates Though his journey into psychiatry was unexpected, the birth of Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates came from his vision. 'It was an idea I had from the beginning,' said Dr. Amer. After running the practice by himself for years, he decided to expand and bring in more professionals to better serve the community. Today, what began as a solo venture has grown into a collaborative practice dedicated to providing personalized care for young patients. A Patient-First & Personalized Approach At Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates, Dr. Amer's philosophy is straightforward: 'The patient comes first, everything else—including the financial part—comes second.' He also emphasizes thorough evaluation as the foundation of effective treatment. The first visit or two is key to his evolution process. With that, he determines the best course of action for his patients. This also allows his patients to choose the option they are comfortable with that facilitates a fast healing. Insights on Mental Health Trends Dr. Amer sees mental health care moving in a positive direction, driven by increased awareness and accessibility. The advent of telehealth and video consultation have made health care accessible to more people in remote areas, breaking down barriers to care. However, there are some challenges in the industry that Dr. Amer addressed. One of the biggest hurdles is managing expectations, as many people expect quick fixes. But ac but mental health treatment takes time and patience. Progress happens in small steps, he explains. 'In psychiatry, we don't yet have biomarkers for mental illness to assist in evaluation and diagnosis. We only have our knowledge, experience, and ability to see and recognize the issues, which is something that requires time and frequent multiple visits.' Community Engagement Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates has a history of community involvement, including various educational presentations for organizations working with children. Recently, Dr. Amer has begun collaborating with MOSAIC, an active psychotherapy practice in Chicago's Western Suburbs, to increase community engagement. 'We hope to contribute and increase community engagement.' About Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates Dr. Amer has been working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, offering them comprehensive and compassionate psychiatry care. Under his supervision, a team of skilled and highly trained psychiatrists collaborates with other healthcare professionals such as psychologists, pediatricians, and educators, which ensures holistic and effective outcomes. They offer both in-person and video consultations. To schedule an appointment with the team, visit . 312-268-5085 Facebook Legal Disclaimer:
