Student Support
Travel to your Campus
There are no direct international flights to your campus. You can arrange for a connecting flight, train or bus from Sydney or Melbourne.
Once you have confirmed your travel details be sure to contact the International Student Support Officer on your campus. A University representative will meet you on your arrival in Bathurst, Orange, Albury-Wodonga or Wagga Wagga and take you to your campus. They will also ensure that you meet other students. If you wish to be met, it is important that you fill and submit the Arrival Form online.
