Don’t waste your money or time. It’s not worth a cent. Payment plans are all to ready for signing! Don’t do it! A good agent will sign up without all the extra fees or have the honesty to say no.

We were very disappointed with the services provided by (or NOT provided by!) Bettina Management. This is NOT disappointment over our child not getting cast for any major gig but true disappointment over hopes and energy going into a company that just does not live up to their promises.

They responded quickly to our submitted photo and invited us for an interview during which we were advised of their substantial membership costs. We agreed and paid for the first 12 months and the first professional photoshoot (which went well). They assured us that - with no guarantee of course - usually each child gets one job during the first 12 months. They also encouraged us to increase our child's chances by regularly uploading new photos and updating our child's profile (skills) - which we did. But nothing meaningful happened for 6 months.

The next photoshoot was a let-down. The same two Perth staff members were not as dedicated and did not hesitate to interrupt the shoot for minor reasons. On the one hand, they expected professionalism and endurance from a 1-year old child, on the other hand they acted very unprofessional. We raised this with Bettina Management HQ but were effectively silenced with a counter-attack along the lines: if this experience impacted on our child's performance, what did we expect in the high-pressure environment of a gig.

After another 6 months of no-action during which we still regularly updated our child's profile and uploaded new high-quality photos, we let our membership lapse. There was precious little effort by Bettina Management to keep us, almost as if the year worth of membership fees had been their priority all along.

looked into getting my child when she was a small baby into some modelling, so i signed up with Bettina Management. I got a photo shoot done for her and was due to receive another 6 months later, because babies change so much at that age! its now been 8 months since i first signed up with them and haven't received so much as a generic email from them.

To be honest i had totally forgot about them. not worth the HUNDREDS of dollars i spent.

But the staff there are very lovely.

I received a call from them saying my daughter had won a competition and they wanted to interview her... I made an appointment and took her in, they gave me the spiel about how they work. I found that the fees were outrageous and they seemed keen for me to sign her up... Wasnt sure if they really wanted to represent her or get my money...

I registered my child, in the hope that will get some still photography opportunities. Been waiting a few months hoping for some work. I don't like to hassle them too much, but I ring to check that they still have us on their books. Staff are pleasant & informative. Had a few offers but they haven't eventuated though.
