Pre - Arrival Requirements We are delighted you have chosen to continue your studies at Australian College of the Professionals. Before you leave home, there are several important arrangements you need to make and things you need to plan for and understand. Some of these things are included in this booklet. You might like to use it as a checklist of things to do before you arrive in Australia. If you follow these guidelines before you arrive in Australia, it will make your journey to Australia as smooth as possible and help you to settle into the country quickly. Some of the pre-arrival requirements include: Planning Your Departure Plan your departure at least a two week prior to the commencement of orientation day. This gives you ample time to look for accommodation, open bank account, look for a part-time job and get familiarised with the place. Prepare and arrange all the list of things that are required to carry with you to Australia. Packing Your Luggage It is ideal to pack your luggage on your own because it might be useful if you are questioned at the checkpoint. Pack all your important documents and valuable items in cabin bag or the bag that you carry with you. Do not include any liquids more than the permissible amounts mentioned by the air service providers. Pack at least three complete pairs of dresses and essentials in cabin bag just in case to survive if there is baggage missing. A detailed checklist is provided in this booklet on what to bring with you to Australia and things to avoid. Please refer to the list while packing your luggage. Check for the permitted weight that you are allowed to bring with your air ticket provider. Baggage Allowance Baggage allowance depends on the class of flying which is a premium economy, business or first class. We recommend that you check your airline’s website for details. In general, economy-class passengers can check in one piece of luggage up to 30kg in weight. They can also have one carry-on piece up to 7kg, plus a handbag or laptop case. Excess Luggage You can use several other parcel services if you have excess luggage. It would be ideal to get your excess baggage shipped once you arrive and settle in Australia. It is wise to pack only essentials while planning your first visit. Arrange all the documentation like job experience certificates and transcripts before planning to book a ticket. ACP_PAG_V2018.1 6|Page
Compare different websites for cheaper airfares while booking the ticket. Arrange for an airport pick-up by
calling airport pickup services from the college or you can arrange your own pick-up if any of your family or
friends are already residing in Australia.
For cheap flight details, you can visit https://www.cheapflights.com.au.
Bring Money to Australia?
It is advisable not to carry more cash while traveling and to bring your own currency which is equivalent to
$2000AUD. You can exchange your currency at airport money exchange centers. It is ideal to keep your
money in your accounts and later you can transfer it to your Australian accounts.
Arrange for Financials
Sydney is one of the worlds expensive cities concerning the cost of living. It is advisable to travel with
sufficient funds in your account while moving to Sydney.
Bringing Your Family
Most student visas allow you to bring your family members to Australia as your dependents (check your
circumstances with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection See: Arranging Visas). Family
members include your spouse, and you and your spouse's dependent children. Before bringing your spouse
or children to Australia, you will have to prove that you can support them financially.
Advice for those considering bringing their family members
Rather than bringing your family together with you to Australia, some students may find it useful to arrive
first, settle into studies, find appropriate accommodation, adjust to living in Australia and then arrange for
their family to join them.
Child Care:
Many schools offer before- and after-school care programs (usually 7:30 am- 8:45 am and 3:30pm-
6:00pm).
Schools:
If you would like to bring your children to Australia with you, you must be aware of the following
schooling issues:
It is an immigration policy that school-age dependents of international students undertake
formal schooling while they are in Australia
Children can enroll in Kindergarten (first year of school) if they turn five before 31 July – NSW
[check the starting age for your state]
You will need to provisionally enroll your child in a school before you leave your home
country and you will generally have to pay the school fees one semester in advance. The
school will issue an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment Form (eCoE) stating the program
and its duration so that you can obtain the appropriate visa for your child.
You will be responsible for school fees and other costs including school uniforms, books,
excursions, and stationery
ACP_PAG_V2018.1 7|PageAccommodation
Once you have confirmed where you will be studying, you can look for accommodation that suits your needs
and budget. Some tips when searching for housing include:
• The costs will vary depending on your chosen state, city, and type of accommodation.
• Always confirm the total cost and any other expenses you may be required to pay, such as a bond and
utility fees.
• Consider how far it is from your campus and whether it is easily accessible by public transport, such as
bus or train.
• Find out what shopping centers, hospitals and emergency service facilities, and other amenities are
nearby.
Short-term accommodation
Short-term accommodation options you might want to consider when you first arrive in Australia include:
Hostels and discounted rates on hotels
Rental
You can rent or 'lease' a property by yourself or with friends. This can be done through a real estate
agent or privately. When renting a property, you will need to pay a security deposit or 'bond' (which is
usually four weeks rent), as well as rent in advance (also usually four weeks). For more information,
please visit - https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/renting
Homestay
With homestay, you will live with a family in their home.
Different types of accommodation are:
• House

ACP_PAG_V2018.1 12 | P a g ePost- Arrival Information
Arriving in Australia
Declare any food items or other items in the Incoming Passenger Card provided in the aircraft. Follow the
arrow marks pointing towards baggage claim. Questions that might be asked by the immigration and
border protection officers at the checkpoint:
What is your purpose of the visit?
What course have you enrolled in?
Please do not panic but answer to these simple questions.
Collect all your bags from the baggage claim area and report to airport authorities if you miss any of your
bags. They will ask for your address and contact details in Australia, and missing bags will be delivered to
you within a week.
Quarantine and border protection:
Australian Customs and Border Protection Services carefully controls what people traveling to Australia
bring into the country. If you declare “YES” in the incoming passenger card for any food items or other
options, then you are asked to pass through the red channel where the border protection officers check
your luggage. They might even ask you a couple of questions regarding the items. Upon examining your
bags if they find items which are contaminated or dangerous, then those items will be disposed. Only
then you will be allowed to proceed towards the exit.
Please declare all the items as sniffer dogs and border protection officers patrol. Any undeclared items
will be questioned and can be fined up to $340 AUD. For other illegal drugs and tobacco products, there
will be criminal prosecution with fines of $66,000 (AUD) and up to 10 years imprisonment.

conditions?product=500
For more information about student rights and responsibilities visit http://www.ombudsman.gov.au/
ACP_PAG_V2018.1 15 | P a g eWorking on Student Visa
Students can work on a student visa on certain conditions:
Students are not allowed to work full time as per the Australian law
Students can work up to 40 hours fortnight legally unless it’s a semester / term break
If a student breach's the above condition, it may lead to cancellation of their visa.

Students can look for further information about the work rights:
immi.homeaffairs.gov.au
www.fairwork.gov.au
ACP_PAG_V2018.1 16 | P a g eOverseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Medical services are quite expensive in Australia. This OSHC will help to cover and minimize your
medical expenses.
All overseas students are required to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). This provides
health insurance for international students and their dependents during their stay in Australia.
Premiums will apply according to the length of the visa.
Overseas Student Health Cover fee is listed on your Letter of Offer and is based on the full duration of
your student visa.
Importance of OSHC
The Australian Government requires all international students to maintain OSHC as a compulsory
condition of their student visa for the entire time that you are studying in Australia.
If you fail to maintain your OSHC, the Australian Government requires you to back pay any lapsed
periods of the cover. You will not be able to claim for any treatment received during this backdated
period.
Failure to maintain your cover could, therefore, result in you paying thousands of dollars in medical
expenses.
Billing Procedure:
All students will be provided with OSHC card
Students can use this at the time of consulting their GP
Contact your OSHC provider for the list of medical centres that are covered
Students may choose to pay the bill at the hospital and claim the bill later by visiting the OSHC
provider website
For further information, visit www.medibank.com.au/overseas-health-insurance/oshc.
Different OSHC providers:
The following private health insurers provide OSHC products and policies for overseas students:
Peoplecare Health Limited (Allianz Global Assistance offers OSHC products and policies under an
arrangement with Peoplecare)
BUPA Australia

About Australia You’re going to love living in Australia, but moving to a foreign country means adapting to different laws, cultures, and ways of doing things. We’re here to help. Food in Australia: You’ll be able to find cuisines from all over the world in Australia, including Asian, Mexican, Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Indian, Srilankan and Nepal. You will also find Indian, Srilanka and Chinese supermarkets selling traditional ingredients and groceries. You will find all types of herbs and spices in different markets and grocery stores. For more information on markets visit https://www.sydneymarkets.com.au Weather: Sydney is mostly warm to hot and dry and can be cold between May and September. You'll need light clothes for summer and will need to look after yourself on hot days by drinking plenty of water, wearing SPF50+ sunscreen and a hat. In winter you'll need a warm coat. You can find out more information on Australia's climate, including weather forecasts, from the Bureau of Meteorology Religion in Australia: Australia is home to many different religions and we have churches, mosques, and spiritual centers in cities and towns all over the Sydney. Wildlife: You’ll have plenty of opportunities to see our unique wildlife while you’re here – whether it’s a visit to a zoo or sanctuary or time spent exploring our vast wilderness. If you do see animals in the wild, it’s imperative not to touch or approach them. Dangerous animals: Some snakes and spiders are venomous which means they could make you sick if you’re bitten. They mostly live in bushland, but you might occasionally see a spider in a house or outdoors. Make sure you wear protective footwear if you go bushwalking and stick to designated walking tracks.
