We strongly advise all Australia Awards students to arrive unaccompanied by their family.
Trying to get settled in with your family can be very stressful and expensive, and you need to ensure that you can focus on your Introductory Academic Program (IAP) and degree program.
All students should wait at least one semester before arranging for family to come and join them in Australia. This will give you time to find suitable accommodation, enquire about schooling, and settle into your program.
