No one really has the right to Come on here and rubbish Bettina it’s a tough industry to put your kids in they are not selecting the children who get the jobs they are promoting your children and that is all that they can do companies are after a specific child with a specific look they know what they want and unfortunately your child might not be the one that’s picked sure your child is cute with personality but companies know what they want if you feel this way maybe you should not put your child in this industry it is a competative industry it’s not Bettina fault if they don’t pick your kid

Is this not a review site? Rubbish is your interpretation. To others an opinion.
Is your child a client of the service and have you based your comment on experience?
Because I have, I actively updated profiles, called, actioned correspondence. Nothing. I dont expect my child to be lit up in lights.
What I do expect for the money paid and contract signed was professionalism and to me that means proactive communication and representation by Bettina.
The only communication initiated was advertising discounts for other associated business.
Its not rubbish, its my experience.
Negative review after negative review is not coincidence.

Poor quality, but agency to put your kids in. They promised in the interview that you pass and you have to wait 6 months for a spot. And then if isn’t you have to apply again. Do we asking this agency to give you food to be begged an spot?

I wish I could give a worse review than one star. Seriously a HUGE waste of money. No contact apart from the initial craze where they tell you how amazing your child is and reel you in with their over friendly speel about the work your child will potentially get. My daughter was signed up the end of last year and once the money was paid for her photo shoot and enrolment to their company we haven’t heard boo. I have sent emails asking what is happening and haven’t received a response and apart from the generic emails they send out it appears they have ghosted us. I wish I read the reviews before signing my daughter up for an experience which would end up being negative for her and her self esteem. I would highly recommend to steer clear of them and look for a more reputable company with great reviews. I just wish we could cancel our contract with them.

Huge waste of money - no work after more than a year, since they extended after Covid. No calls, no word. Even when I call them to prompt them to act on my child's behalf, still nothing. They even withdraw parental access to AT2 which is a violation of parental permission for photos and videos. Please avoid them as it's almost $500 you will be saving.

Bettina Management have definitley let us down. We signed my 4 year old grand daughter up with them Sept 2019 in the knowing that dealing with the Brisbane company there was not as much modelling work available as in the southern capital cities. However, after spending nearly $1000 we had no contact from them until I phoned and then was left a msg which was read from a script from a staff member who sounded totally uninterested in the whole affair. My very confident, outgoing grand daughter has always created much interest when shopping and people have always commented that she should be in modelling. The initial staff member who interviewed us was incredibly savvy to our interest and made me feel my granddaughter had some sort of connection with her. (She was obviously well trained). But the photographer was another thing. She took very ordinary photo's and was not empathetic to the excitement from first time models and their loved ones. She just wanted the photo shoot over I sensed. Another annoying fact is Bettina Management keep sending to my Facebook account congratulatories to children who are having photo shoots for advertisements etc and i wonder how many of them are legitimate. Be very wary and they do not manage your site you have to update information, photo's etc after charging so much. Beware

Happened to us too. We met with Jess from Bettina for the interviews and she made my daughter feel like she was worth her weight in gold. Scammers and they should be ashamed of themselves. The photos they took were generic bar a few which then werent used for the website anyway. They decided the plain boring photos were better. No word 3 months in and a daughter who is deflated.

I would NOT recommend this business to anybody. I spent my time and money on empty promises and words. Honestly, the interview and the lady conducting it was pleasant. But I now realise they will truly just tell you why you want to hear at the time to get you to sign up (and spend hundreds in doing so). Not only that, but they have a photo shoot for your child where they say you get to keep two photos, but take many many more and want to charge through the nose for it. On that, the photographer was an absolute basket case. She was seriously odd and to be honest, very rude with no regard for parents. Anyway, if you’re considering doing this for your child, reconsider. Absolute waste of time and money.

We didnt even get to keep one photo for our daughter and I totally agree about the photographer

They are waste of time and money!
Since signing up my daughter with this agency I received ZERO call after they got my money.

They are useless!

My daughter has been with Bettina almost a year and it's her first agent. They do not have everyone and anyone on their books so am happy with that aspect. Audition process to be accepted.
She has been in one national TVC but been selected for five other audition castings during that time. Three were open castings, two directly for her. The communication has been good and I can call anytime to query what she's been submitted for. Friendly staff. No guarantee ever of landing a job - paid or unpaid when she lands an audition. The professional photos were okay but not worth buying in my opinion, which we didn't. She prefers choosing her own (which you can upload to site).

No work and they blatantly lie.
You will never hear from them after signing up. My daughter was with another agency previous to Bettina and always had at least 6 jobs a year. I changed as she wanted to do more modeling style work and her old agency didn’t do that. But worst move ever.

Hi, yes I understand and thats a shame for your son. My daughter use to be with another agency for years and worked all the time. She was interested in doing more modeling work which her agency didnt do so I moved her to Bettina. I called to check all the time, updated her photos and did all they asked. They never called for anything, not even a casting. They were so rude in the end saying well its hard to find work for a 13 year old with braces... since leaving my daughter has done 4 commercials just this year. One overseas college football one and 3 local social media ones. Bettina just let my daughter down and it was just a waste of a year for her. I think they need to do better for their kids and I told them that. They even asked me to prove that she had lots of jobs before as they didnt believe me. I sent screenshots to them of all the work she had done over the years. I never heard from them again. I would not ever recommend them to anyone. Good luck.

Hi Simoneg686, I had the same issue with Bettina, signed up 2 children and heard nothing. Do you mind advising what agency you found helpful?
