It's raining babies!

A huge thanks to everyone for helping us put the word out to find new babies for a number of projects. We succesfully helped cast the new Huggies TVC baby (Brats Melbourne); baby Ruby in Packed to the Rafters (Brats Sydney); and the Prevenar vaccine baby (Brats Sydney). Without your help these little stars would not have had the chance to shine so publicly right now!

Hello Home & Away

We'd like to congratulate Annie & Max B. for landing a role in Home & Away - these two mini stars have been so busy working that we actually had to turn down bookings! Their chaffeurs (also known as mum and dad) couldn't squeeze in any more castings without jeopardizing their own jobs.

We made it to the Oscars!

We watched the Oscars with baited breath the other night to celebrate the nomination of the Australian short film 'Miracle Fish' staring our own Brat Jason D. Unfortunately the film didn't win but that didn't stop Brats staff Andreia and Valerio from dreaming of sashaying down the red carpet in Hollywood. One day!

What other parents say

Behind every succesful Brat is a hard-working mum or dad. Here's a testimonial from Sienna's Mum, Rachel Sibrava about her decision to work with us:

"Initially, like all parents I had my doubts and hesitations. The cost, and the process seemed a little rushed. However, upon meeting with the director, who told me Sienna may be suitable for Myer, I asked if my one year old would be suitable. He suggested we just take on Sienna for now. So clearly this wasn't just about taking all kids on board for the money. Sienna has since done at least 10 jobs for Myer over the year and earned thousands. She is also doing work for Target. Finally, the Brats staff are fantastic. They are helpful, patient and informative. Which agency to choose was hard but I'm very happy with my choice."

Kids Wanted!

Our Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne offices are currently open to new gorgeous kids aged between four and 16 representing a range of looks, skills and ethnic backgrounds. If you’d like to know what it takes to become a Brats Model read our FAQs here and join online today.
