Information Planet and its clients want to experience different cultures and lifestyles and are searching to find something to fulfil their personal dreams. Information Planet aims to make this a reality by being in the forefront of educational courses and pathways, to be innovative and aware of the ongoing requirements of our clients.
Information Planet began in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, as 'Information Brazil', when Mauricio Pucci started a small and innovative business 'helping' Brazilian friends to study, work and travel around Australia (just as he had done). With his brother, Alexandre Pucci, joining from Sao Paulo, Brazil, the company was the first agency in the market that specialized in this service and quickly became a reference for Brazilian students looking to travel and study down under. With their knowledge of the education industry and the needs of their clients, they opened their first office in Manly - Australia.
Same time in 1996 - Josef Kysilka started a similar agency in Czech Republic and also in Sydney city centre, helping European clients to study in Australia. These agencies provided a wide range of services for clients before departure and in Australia such as study and visa extension, airport pick up and share accommodation and job assistance.
In 2004, a new partnership helped the company to consolidate its business in Australia and overseas. Josef Kysilka brought experience in educational marketing along with his own agency called 'Australian Centre for Education', focused on recruiting students from central and Eastern Europe. Together with Mauricio, they established ‘Australian Education Centre (AEC)’ in a new office in the heart of Sydney CBD, which would later become the head office of Information Planet.
