New to Curtin (and Australia) for Semester 1? 🎒🇦🇺 Before you move, get across the essentials to help you start strong and settle in smoothly.

✔️ Understand your student visa requirements
Your Australian student visa lets you study full-time at Curtin, work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semester, and re-enter Australia for the duration of your course. You can also apply to bring eligible family members as dependants.

✔️ Organise your accommodation
Choose from on-campus accommodation at Curtin Perth (managed by @unilodgecurtin and @stcatscollegecurtin) or Agricola at Curtin Kalgoorlie, both located close to classes. Curtin also offers support and resources to help you find the right place to live.

✔️ Set up your health insurance (OSHC)
Before arriving, make sure you’ve organised your health insurance as part of planning your budget and arrival in Australia. Curtin’s current preferred OSHC provider is @medibank.

✔️ Learn about family arrangements
Perth is a safe, vibrant and multicultural city with a strong education system. School-aged children can enrol in public or private schools, and Curtin’s Early Childhood Centre provides childcare for younger dependants.

✔️ Know what to bring with you
Pack important documents like your Letter of Offer, passport, travel documents, qualifications and medical information. Bring clothes suited to Perth’s warm summers and cool winters, plus essentials like a laptop and basic homewares.

brb, just admiring the beautiful Birak season on campus 🌱

Birak, or the season of the young, is the first summer here on Whadjuk Noongar boodja! We’ve noticed sunny skies, seeds, nuts and young birds venturing out of their nests 🪹

Get out in nature and let us know what you see! Our second summer (Bunuru) might be right around the corner 👀
