Arriving in Australia

We understand that arriving in a new country and adjusting to life on campus can be both exhilarating and daunting. To help you settle in, we're here to provide the advice and resources you need to thrive academically, socially, and culturally. 

Your International Student Experience Coordinator will:

• help to organise your orientation
• meet you when you arrive at TAFE NSW
• answer questions about your study program
• help guide you to other support services
• help you arrange a private appointment with a counsellor.

Getting involved in the community, improving your English and making lifelong friends are all part of the TAFE NSW experience! Why not meet likeminded people via meetup or join a sporting team. 

Travelling around

There are so many places to visit and things to do in New South Wales. You may wonder how you’ll get from A to B and experience all that's on offer. Luckily, taxis, Ubers, trains, and buses are plentiful in NSW. 

For public transport fees, maps, and timetable information, contact 131 500 or visit Transport NSW.

Finding work

There are plenty of ways to find employment. Visit our working in Australia page for more information. 

At TAFE NSW we ensure every international student has the support of an International Customer Experience Coordinator.
