Nayonika Bhattacharya
MIGRATION LAWYER - CHIDIAC LEGAL
I’m a budding lawyer with a big heart, bold ideas, and a bookshelf that’s almost as full as my calendar. As a proud migrant, I’m passionate about breaking down systemic barriers and making sure people from all walks of life—no matter their language, culture, or story—feel truly seen, heard, and supported when navigating the complex migration system.
With a background in family law, conveyancing, wills and estates law, youth engagement, and policy work, I bring compassion, community spirit, and strong advocacy skills to everything I do. I’m committed to helping clients navigate complex systems while staying grounded in who they are and where they come from.
And when I’m not drafting, supporting, or empowering, I’m probably reaching for another book or on the hunt for a new matcha spot somewhere in Sydney!
Antonietta (Toni) Borso
CLIENT ADMINISTRATOR
My name is Antonietta, but everyone calls me Toni. I’ve been part of the Aspire Australia family since 2021, though my connection to the business goes back more than 20 years.
I was born in Rome and moved to Australia permanently in 1997, so I understand firsthand what it means to make that journey. I also lived through the process of getting my husband here after we met overseas, which gave me a very personal appreciation of just how complex the road to an Australian visa can be. I still speak Italian fluently.
For me, work has always been about making a difference. The hours we spend at work are too many to not feel like they matter, and supporting clients through one of the most significant decisions of their lives is something I find genuinely meaningful.
Outside of work, I’m at the gym, out running, or on a long beach walk with Lumi, our rescue dog. I’m also a committed vegan with a love of Indian food and a weakness for pizza.
Nahil & Richard Chidiac
DIRECTORS
I’m Nahil, and together with Richard I’m proud to lead Aspire Australia.
Our connection to migration is a personal one. I arrived in Australia in 1988, and my family found our footing here thanks to a migration lawyer who guided us through a system which felt overwhelming at the time. I’ve never forgotten what this support meant to us, and in many ways it’s the reason I do the work I do today. Richard’s family made their own journey to Australia in the 70’s, so between us we understand first-hand what it takes to leave one home and build a life in another.
We’re both solicitors and the directors of Aspire Australia, the sister firm of Chidiac Legal. Alongside my legal work I’m also a Finance Broker, which means we can support clients across more than just their visa and help them plan for the bigger picture of settling here.
Our clients place extraordinary trust in us, often at some of the most defining moments in their lives. This trust is what inspires us to continually grow and strengthen what we offer. For any support someone needs along their journey, they know they have a team in their corner who genuinely cares about their future and is committed to seeing them thrive.
