A friendly welcome for international students
Study NSW opened the International Student Welcome Desk in 2015 to greet international students arriving at Sydney Airport.
Our goal is to provide a friendly welcome and answer your questions about arriving, living and studying in NSW. We are committed to making your experience in NSW the best it can be.
Location
The International Student Welcome Desk is located in the International Arrivals Hall at Sydney Airport.
Opening hours
The desk currently operates from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 1:30 pm AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time).
