Before you arrive

Before you leave home there are some important things you need to check:

  • Arrange your student visa by contacting the Australian High Commision or the Australian Embassy in your home country.
  • Ensure your passport is valid for the intended length of your study period in Australia.
  • Have medical, optical and dental check-ups and arrange any prescribed medication with your doctor.
  • Start looking for temporary and long-term accommodation, visit our Accommodation page.
  • Ask you university, school or college if they can meet you at the airport. It’s nice to see a smiling face when you arrive.
  • Make sure you are enrolled in your course. Most institutions will allow you to enrol online.
  • Make a note of emergency contact numbers including your institution, accommodation, embassy and family members.
  • Pack your letter of offer, academic records from previous study, identification documents, important contact numbers, and a written character reference to help in securing accommodation or employment.
  • Check customs and quarantine regulations and pack any items you wish to declare separately.
  • Tell your Mum and Dad you love them and don't forget to pack your toothbrush.
