Welcome to Melbourne! We’re here for you. 

Did you miss our Monday sessions? Then this is for you.

The International Student Welcome and Briefing is your chance to meet the International Student Advisory and Support team – your dedicated 24-hour expert team at Swinburne.

This session provides you with the important things you need to know about being an international student before you arrive at your first class during orientation.

Each session will cover:

• your health and welfare
• building a social life and social network
  
• Swinburne and community support services available to you
• how the Victorian community works, including health, emergency services and community groups 
• how to get help with accommodation
• visa expectations and making it work for you
• your rights and responsibilities
• how to travel around Melbourne.

This session is essential

We’ll help you with all of the questions you have about making study and life here work for you.

This session is highly recommended for all students making a transition to study at Swinburne, or to Melbourne. It’s the little things you may not have encountered that ensure you can adjust quickly and confidently to your new adventure. We are excited to meet you.
