PRACTICAL TIPS FOR YOUR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT

  • Take a pen to complete your Incoming Passenger Card before landing in Australia. This is a legal document and asks the purpose of your visit to Australia, where you will be staying and is also the customs declaration form. Don’t be afraid to ask airline staff if you have any questions.
  • Keep printed copies of your visa grant notification letter, your SuniTAFE enrolment information, where you will be staying, and your vaccination form along with your passport and tickets in your hand luggage.
  • Drink plenty of water and stretch regularly.
  • Don’t take any food off the plane as this could be a quarantine risk.
