Student Support Services
Because there are so many international students in Australia, all Australian universities have international support services to make sure international students are welcomed and supported throughout their stay.
They offer many services including:
- Free airport pick up
- Assisting in finding accommodation on and off campus
- Setting up a bank account
- Finding employment
- Registering with a doctor
All universities have an orientation week where new students can chose from lots of social, cultural and sporting activities to settle in and make new friends. There are also on campus events that run throughout each semester including learning to surf lessons, day trips, movie nights and trivia.
The universities also offer many sporting clubs and societies which international students can join, including:
- Rugby
- Tennis
- Netball
- Rowing
- Soccer
- Volleyball
- Touch Football
University campuses in Australia are really fun places, and international students are accepted and welcomed by other students. If you live on campus, it’s a great way to meet lots of other students both from other countries and from Australia.
