Education providers in Australia must provide support and advice to international students. This support can take many forms and should be available throughout all of a student’s time at any institution. Extra support is required of institutions offering education services to Under 18 students, (considered minors in Australia) to assist with their safety and well-being while studying. Orientation programs are run by all institutions to outline the support services available; where and how to access them; and to meet the staff who provide them, along with enrolment, academic, social and cultural activities. Orientation programs are highly recommended. Students who do not attend orientation programs may experience greater difficulties settling in to their studies, or experience difficulties knowing about or accessing support services when needed.
Student Support discusses the support systems Australian institutions provide to help students to arrive, settle in, and get to know their education provider and its expectations. Institutions provide a wide variety of assistances and information before arrival to assist with the successful arrival, housing and orientation (academic, social and cultural) of their students. On-going support is provided to ensure students achieve the best possible outcomes they are capable of. Students are not alone, there are people and services to assist and advise them. Student preparation and active involvement in these processes, and using the information provided is the key to a successful study experience.
