This workshop is designed to give students advice on how to set out their resume to apply for jobs on the Gold Coast. All new and current students are welcome to attend!
Helpful Tips for finding accommodation in Australia
We know finding suitable accommodation can be a challenge for international students at this time of year. Austrade publishes a range of tools and resources on the Study Australia website on accommodation options within Australia including:
- Tips on creating a strong rental housing application.
- Tips to find the right home and house mates for you.
- Know your rights as a tenant in Australia.
Costs of accommodation will vary depending on your chosen state, city, and type of accommodation. The cost of living calculator on the Study Australia website helps students calculate their expenses.
Do you have a suggestion on an event, workshop, social or anything else you would like to see at the school? Leave us a comment…
