Beginning your counselling studies in Australia is a transformative and rewarding journey. As one of the world's most welcoming and multicultural education destinations, Australia offers high-quality academic programs, supportive learning environments, and excellent opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Whether you are planning to study a Diploma, Bachelor, Graduate Diploma, or Master of Counselling, preparing well from the start ensures a smoother transition and a more fulfilling study experience.
However, studying abroad involves more than choosing the right course. It requires careful planning across several important areas — from visa applications and accommodation arrangements to health insurance, budgeting, and understanding your work rights as an international student.
Our Student Essentials guide provides a comprehensive overview of these key areas, giving you the clarity and direction you need before traveling to Australia. Whether this is your first time studying overseas or you have travelled before, our goal is to ensure you feel informed, supported, and ready for an exciting new chapter in Australia.

Each of these elements plays an essential role in helping you settle in comfortably, stay compliant with regulations, and focus confidently on your academic goals. Our counsellors guide you through each step to make the process simple, clear, and stress-free.
