Q.

What Commission does the agency take?

A.

The agency takes 20% commission. Bambini Models Australia & Elite Kids Melbourne both have agent and manager licenses.

Q. What are Model Portfolios?
A.

Bambini Models & Elite Kids have now introduced our model portfolio books for talent to showcase the work they have done when attending castings. The portfolios are also a great way to protect children’s work for future years. Bambini Models is the first children’s agency to introduce the portfolios, keeping our talent ahead of our competitors and on par with leading adult agencies in Australia.

When children attend castings they will take along their portfolio books to give to the clients so they can view previous work done. Model cards can also be printed from children’s home pages & placed in the inside pocket of the portfolio and given to the client on the day of the casting. This makes it easier for the clients to remember which talent they have seen and helps them with their casting process.
