Australia is one of the promising study destinations in the world offering a range of opportunities both in the academic and co-curricular sphere.For students planning to pursue higher education in Australia, I would firstly recommend doing proper research about the institution and check for all the facilities provided by the institution including academic support, clubs and societies and/or other avenues of co-curricular engagement, and other support services such as legal and counselling supports. Students should also research the study clusters such as Study NSW, Study Victoria, Study Perth, Study Adelaide, etc. which offer a range of services for international students. There are other avenues that student should benefit knowing about such as the Council of International Students Australia, CAPA, NUS, AUSTRADE, DET, TPS, Commonwealth Ombudsman, Fairwork Ombudsman, Redfern Legal Centre, Student Job Australia, Seek, Gumtree, Indeed, and many more. Since there is a lot of information that students might not be able to research on their own, it’s crucial to also select a reliable and well informed Education Consultancy if students are planning to have a smooth and well knowledge transition to their international education experience.
