Scouting New South Wales, From the Coast to the Country
New South Wales produces more advertising than any other Australian state, and the work long ago spilled past Sydney's city limits. STELLA scouts and represents talent across NSW — coastal, regional and metropolitan — and books them into the campaigns that shoot here.
Byron Bay lifestyle brands, Newcastle industrial heritage, Southern Highlands estates: location scouts love this state, and every one of those locations needs faces. We keep the roster wide so the casting never has to be a compromise.
The NSW Boards
Commercial & Screen
NSW is the engine room of Australian TVC production. We supply speaking and non-speaking talent for commercials, streaming inserts and branded content shot from Moore Park studios to regional backlots.
Lifestyle, Swim & Wellness
The coastline from Cronulla to Byron drives constant demand for swim, active and wellness casting. Our lifestyle faces are chosen for ease on camera in exactly those settings.
Fashion & E-Commerce
Australian Fashion Week may anchor the calendar, but the volume work is year-round e-commerce. We keep a bench of efficient, sample-size and curve models for NSW's online retail studios.
Why NSW Clients Brief STELLA
Coverage Without Chaos
One agency across Sydney, the Hunter, the Illawarra and the North Coast. Fewer intermediaries, cleaner usage terms, a single invoice.
Remote-First Casting
Our bookers run NSW castings on digitals and self-tape first, so shortlists land within hours no matter where in the state the talent sleeps.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does STELLA have an office in Sydney or elsewhere in NSW?
- Our physical headquarters is in Melbourne; in NSW we operate as a scouting and booking agency, running castings remotely and attending productions on location. That model keeps our talent pool statewide rather than postcode-bound.
- Can models from regional NSW realistically get work?
- Yes — brands increasingly shoot in the regions they sell to, and a Ballina or Bathurst local saves a production real money on travel and accommodation. Regional talent on our books are briefed on exactly these jobs.
- How do I check a NSW modelling approach from STELLA is genuine?
- Every legitimate STELLA scout writes from our official domain and never asks you to pay to be considered. If something feels off, run the contact through the verification page on this site before replying.
