GetModel lists 7 modeling agencies with a board or office in Sydney. Sydney is the gateway to the Australian market and its counter-season calendar: while the northern hemisphere is quiet, Australian clients shoot summer campaigns, which is why international networks keep boards here.
The largest rosters in Sydney are IMG Models, Storm Models and IMG Sydney — the grid below is ordered by roster size, and every card opens the agency profile with founding year, specialties, notable models and the official contacts for submissions and bookings.
Australian boards scout locally and place models overseas; a Sydney signing is often the first step to a European or American season rather than the destination itself. If you are choosing between offers, read How to Choose a Modeling Agency, and browse the rest of the directory on the agencies hub.

How to choose an agency
No fees to sign
A real agency is paid a commission on the work it books. Registration fees, compulsory paid courses and a mandatory in-house photographer are the standard warning signs.
Look at the board, not the promise
Open the agency's own site and see who it actually represents and which clients those models shoot for. A board full of recent work is worth more than any pitch.
Match the market
High fashion, commercial, curve and talent boards want different things. A mother agency in your city that places you abroad often beats a distant big name.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get into a modeling agency in Sydney?
- Send digitals — plain, unretouched photos (full length, waist up, face) in fitted clothes with no makeup — together with your height and measurements, through the agency's own submission form or at its open call. Every agency on this page is listed with its website, so you can apply directly. Australian boards scout locally and place models overseas; a Sydney signing is often the first step to a European or American season rather than the destination itself.
- What do Sydney modeling agencies look for?
- It depends on the board, not on the city: fashion divisions have historically worked to sample sizes (around 175 cm and up for women, 185 cm and up for men), while commercial, curve and talent divisions set no height rule and book on castability. Age, proportions, healthy skin and hair, and the ability to take direction matter everywhere — check each Sydney agency's own requirements page before you submit, since the divisions differ.
- Do modeling agencies in Sydney charge a fee?
- A legitimate agency does not charge to represent you: it earns a commission on the work it books for you, typically around 20%. Paying up front for "registration", a mandatory portfolio with an agency-appointed photographer or a "course" is the classic sign of a scam — in Sydney as anywhere else. Costs that are genuinely normal (test shoots you commission yourself, travel, a printed book) are your own and never a condition of being signed.
