Preparing to leave for Adelaide

For many students this will be the first opportunity to live in another country. You may feel excited, perhaps a little nervous and unsure of what to expect. You can make the transition from home to Adelaide easier by preparing yourself.

Before you leave home, have a look at this web site. It includes information on:

• Pre-departure presentations
• Important documents
• Items to bring with you
• University matters
• Travel to Adelaide
• Australian Quarantine Regulations
• Bringing a computer into Australia
• Financial matters
• Visa information

We have also provided a Pre-departure checklist of things you need to ensure you have with you.

Given that the world is an ever-changing place, you may want to check travel advisory warnings if you will be travelling to, or transiting through, other foreign countries on your journey to Australia. Check your country's current advice for travellers. You can also visit the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade web site for information for travel from Australia.
