Skill Path Australia will manage your application and be a point of contact for you until you land in Australia. Skill Path will propose you for your visa and coordinate travel arrangements with you. Skill Path is arranging pro bono legal advice to support visa application through the program.
Once you land in Australia, you will also be matched with a campus welcome group at your university, consisting of students and staff volunteers. Skill Path and your campus welcome group will:
Cover the cost of your flights to Australia
Collect you from the airport and take you to your accommodation
Help you with initial orientation tasks and getting to know your new location
Include you to social activities
Provide you with some funds for essential things like food
In addition, your host university will provide:
Advice on finding suitable accommodation
Academic readiness support before you start your course (such as English language preparation courses)
Emergency assistance, if you require it
You will be responsible for covering your living expenses while in Australia. Skill Path Australia is exploring student loan options to assist students to cover the costs of living expenses, including accommodation, if this is required. The Australian government also provides some financial support to students living in Australia to assist with living expenses.
