Pre-arrival briefings
We want you to feel comfortable in Australia from the moment you get here. Pre-arrival briefings are held each semester for a number of countries. Commencing international students and their families are invited to participate in the briefings.
Topics include:
- what to bring to Australia
- customs and quarantine
- our airport pick-up service
- cost of living
- accommodation
- safety and security
- what to attend during Orientation week
- working while studying
- transport
- cultural differences
- support services and programs
Why attend a pre-arrival briefing?
These briefings give you the opportunity to ask questions and hear from other Monash students before you arrive.
At the in-country briefings in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, staff from Monash Residential Services will also be present to assist with any accommodation queries.
