Travel to Australia

The Australian Academy of Design is located in the city of Melbourne in the State of Victoria, Australia. A good introduction to Melbourne and its attractions is available at www.visitvictoria.com the website of Tourism Victoria.

Useful information about visas is available at www.studyinaustralia.com.au the Australian government’s official website for overseas students seeking to study in Australia. Topics covered include visas, costs and living in Australia.

The Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal at www.acn.net.au includes lots of topical information on Australian literature, news, events and history and links to other Australian culture websites.

Once you decide to study in Australia there are several matters to organise such as:

•   Visa
•   Overseas Student Health Cover
•   Banking arrangements
•   Travel bookings
•   Living expenses
•   Housing
•   Schooling for any school-aged dependants (who will incur full fees).

For helpful information on visa and permit requirements to do with student travel to Australia, visit the Australian Government's Department of Immigration and Citizenship website at: www.immi.gov.au/students/index.htm.

The Academy can assist you with information on all of these matters if you send an email to info@designacademy.edu.au.
