Orientation

Orientation provides essential information you need to commence your studies and is compulsory for all new international students.

Take the opportunity to meet and connect with your peers, mentors, and academics, explore campus facilities and discover the variety of support services available to assist you in reaching your goals.

You'll learn important topics including student visa conditions, adjusting to life in Australia, health cover and staying safe, your workplace rights, key dates, fees and e-forms, and international student support.

Orientation is the best way to start your studies feeling confident and connected.
