Melbourne’s trains, trams and buses are an easy way to see all of the city’s best attractions, access sporting ven-ues, tourist and shopping precincts and, of course, get to and from class. All public transport services are accessible by a single prepaid ‘smart’ card called myki. Train, bus and tram services run from early morning to very late at night – making it easy to get there and back on time! Melbourne has the largest tram network in the world. Its trams are recognised as iconic cultural assets and are a unique transport experience for any visitor to the city.Melbourne’s (Tullamarine) airport is located approxi-mately 20 km from the city centre. A Skybus service oper-ates between the airport and downtown Melbourne with departures in each direction every 10 – 15 minutes. Fares are only $19 one way – a third of the cost of a taxi. The Skybus city terminus is located at Southern Cross Station where there are train connections across Melbourne’s ex-tensive metro network.

Getting Around Melbourne

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA

38


Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria and Austra-lia’s second largest city with a population of 4.3 million peo-ple. The Economist Intelligence Unit has ranked Melbourne as the world’s ‘most liveable city’ for three years in a row and the August 2013 report praises our culture, safety and infrastructure. International students too have often voted Melbourne as one of the world’s best study destinations and we’re sure you’re going to LOVE living in our vibrant city! Melbourne is perhaps Australia’s most multicultural and ethnically diverse city. People from over 140 countries call Melbourne ‘home’ and Melburnians are welcoming and ac-cepting of different cultures and customs. JTI’s Dandenong campus is located in one of Melbourne’s most culturally diverse regions so students are sure to find a little bit of ‘home’ in the surrounding area. Melbourne’s melting pot of cultures is reflected in its thou-sands of restaurants, cafés and bars. It has a strong café culture and is recognized as the food and wine capital of Australia. The city celebrates its love of good food and wine with several festivals throughout the year dedicated to en-joying the good life! Notable for its distinctive blend of Victorian (19th century) and contemporary architecture, beautiful beaches, parks and gardens, you’ll enjoy clean, fresh air and open spaces – all in a friendly and safe environment. Melbourne’s central city area is famous for its laneways which feature ‘hidden gems’ in the way of food outlets and shopping. It is a city where a sense of adventure and curiosity will always be re-warded.Australia is often said to be “sport mad” and nowhere more so than in Melbourne. The city is home to some of Australia’s most significant cultural and sporting institu-tions. From soccer to cricket and golf to rugby and tennis events – the world’s sporting stage is at our doorstep. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is the ‘spiritual’ home of Aussie Rules (AFL) football.

Culturally, there is always a wide variety of Broadway musicals, concerts, plays, live music, comedy and theatre. Live bands frequently do ‘gigs’ at local pubs, so there’s never a dull night with the city’s live entertainment offer-ings.

Melbourne enjoys a relatively mild climate and distinctseasonal changes – although, as is sometimes said, youmay get all four seasons in one day! Students coming from tropical countries may find the winters cool (but it’s never cold enough to snow) and northern hemisphere students will find the summers pleasantly warm to hot, although extreme temperatures are rare. Melbourne’s summer heat is quite dry with far less humidity than in other parts of Australia. Of course the seasons are the reverse to those in the northern hemisphere with the summer vacation period (December and January) coinciding with the Christmas festive season. Classes rise around the beginning of De-cember and resume in late January or early February.

Melbourne’s Climate

JTI Melbourne

JTI has three campuses in Melbourne. International campuses are located in a prime location of hustle and bustle of Melbourne CBD and the south east-ern suburb of Dandenong. Dandenong is a very culturally diverse area and this is re-flected in JTI’s student cohort.

You may like to bring spare eye glasses or contact lenses with you. If you have a pre-existing medical condi-tion or are taking medication, have a letter or prescription from your doctor describing these using the generic drug name. You will need to declare all prescription medication, alternative, herbal and traditional medicines and vitamin and mineral preparation formulas to Customs when you enter Australia. It is important that you keep all medicine-sin their original packaging.

As soon as your student visa application has been ap-proved, you should go through the following checklist, en-suring you have –or have done– all the things on this list.

Once you have received your eCoE, you will need to apply for a student visa from the Australian Government. This process is all done online in the department of immigration and border protection website -http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Stud

The visa application process and the amount of informa-tion visa applicants will need to provide to the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection will vary depending on the student’s country of origin, as will the time taken to process the visa application. You will need a valid passport, your eCoE, and other documenta-tion when you lodge your student visa application. Other documents may include,

but are not limited to:• Proof that you meet academic requirements.• Evidence of English language proficiency• Evidence of funds to support your study and cost of living while in Australia• Overseas Student Health Cover. You need to allow enough time for visa application processing from the lodgement of your application to the commencement of your academic program.

Below is the list of the student visas currently available:• Single Student Visa (Sub-class 500)For information specific to student visa applications from your country, visit: www.immi.gov.auThe website provides comprehensive and country- specif-ic information on the types of visas available for different levels of study in Australia. It also provides information for people considering bringing family members with them (whether guardians, partners/ spouses or children). You will also find access to help and advice about your specific visa requirements.Students may also contact an education agent, who can help with your visa application.

You will need to make your own travel arrangements to Australia. Please try to arrive at least 1-2 weeks before the start of International Student Orientation to allow enough time for settling in, adjusting to your new surroundings and overcoming jet-lag. Students coming to Melbourne will fly into Melbourne’s Tullamarine International Airport located approximately 20 kilometres north of the city. Melbourne’s international and domestic terminals are located in the same building. The international terminal is referred to as T2.

DocumentsYou should prepare a folder of official documents to bring with you to Australia, including:• Valid passport with student visa• Letter of Offer from Job Training Institute• Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) from Job Training Institute• Receipts of payments (e.g. tuition fees, OSHC, banksta tements etc.)• Insurance policies (travel insurance, OSHC) Certified copies of your academic transcripts and qualifications• Other personal identification documents, e.g. birth certificate, ID card, driver’s licence• Medical records and/or prescriptions If you are travelling with your family you will need to in-clude their documents as well.

What to Bring (and What NOT to Bring!) Visitors are often surprised by how strict Australian Cus-toms and Quarantine can be. Because Australia is an island continent, it has remained protected from many diseases and pests that are endemic in other parts of the world. It is the job of Australian Customs and Quarantine to make sure it stays that way! If you’re in doubt about whether your goods areprohibited or not, declare it on the Incoming Passenger Card which you will receive on the plane. We recommend you visit the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service webpage:http://www.australia.gov.au/information-and-services/passports-and-travel/customs-and-quarantine

Read: What can’t I take into Australia?Also let your family and friends know:What can’t be mailed to Australia?

Packing Your BagsItems you might need to include (Which can also be purchased in Australia)

Alarm clockBath towels, bed sheets, pillow casesDictionary (bilingual)Small sewing kitMusic CDs or IPodSporting equipmentToiletriesCalculatorCameraSpare spectacles or contact lensesYour optical prescriptionPhotos of friends and familySwimming costumeSmall gifts from home

The standard voltage for electrical items in Australia is 240V. Electric plugs have three flat pins one of which is an earth pin. You may need to buy an adaptor or have the plugs changed when you arrive.

Mobile Phones & Laptops

If you are considering bringing a mobile phone, laptop, or any communication devices we suggest you visit the Aus-tralian Communications and Media Authority www.acma.gov.au before making any purchases. Some students have brought in their own laptops only to discover that they were unable to use their modem in Australia.

On Your Flight

Before landing in Australia passengers are given an In-coming Passenger Card to fill in. This is a LEGAL DOC-UMENT. You must tick YES if you are carrying any food,

plant material, including wooden souvenirs, or animal products. Don’t be afraid to ask airline staff if you have any questions. If you are carrying more than AU$10,000 in cash, you must also declare this on your Incoming Pas-senger Card.

It is strongly recommended however, that you donot carry large sums of cash but arrange for anelectronic transfer of funds (EFT) into your Australianbank account once it has been opened.

JTI’s International Department can arrange temporary accommodation for you when you first arrive in Australia. If you require this service, you should email: [email protected] with a heading ’Accommodation Required’. You should request this service as far ahead of your arrival date as possible. This accommodation will be for a maximum of 2 weeks after which students should make their own accommodation arrangements or advise that they would like to extend the initial accommodation arrangements.

Hotels, Motels, Guest Houses and Backpacker Hostels

Generally, the price you pay for accommodation will de-termine its quality. However, it can be expensive to stay in a good quality motel or hotel for a long period of time. Backpacker accommodation is relatively inexpensive but you may need to bring or buy your own bedding if you choose this option. Sleeping arrangements will vary ac-cording to how much you wish to spend and range from private rooms to dormitory style. You will share a bath-room, kitchen and laundry.

Homestay Accommodation Another accommodation option popular with first arrivals is Homestay where an international student stays with an Australian host family for a weekly fee. JTI has signed an agreement with Australian Homestay Network (AHN) that organises this type of accommodation. If you would like Homestay accommodation, email [email protected] and our International Student Co-ordinator will liaise with AHN on your behalf. Your Homestay service should include:• Your own bedroom (with bed, desk, lamp and wardrobe)• Two meals a day (breakfast and a cooked dinner)• Electricity, gas and water bills• Involvement in family activities• A written set of guidelines for both the host family and the student

Staying with Family and Friends

If you know someone in Australia, this is a great way to settle in to life here. Friends or family can provide advice, support and encouragement in your first days in Austra-lia.

Choosing Where to LiveMost students want to live within walking distance of the campus but this is not always possible and is usually de-termined by availability and cost. Often it is more conve-nient and more cost-effective to live a bit further from the campus but closer to shops and public transport.

JTI can also provide referrals to a number of organisations that specialise in providing long-term accommodation placement services. For most students this will mean renting a house or apartment either alone or sharing with other people. Note: JTI does not accept any payments for accommodation or associated services, as these arrangements are between you and the accommodation services provider. JTI is not responsible or liable for accommodation-related services provided by external organisations.

Share AccommodationStudents often join together to rent a flat or a house. Ac-commodation rented this way is generally not furnished. You will usually need to sign a lease for 6 or 12 months, and organise to connect utilities (gas, water, electricity) yourself. You may also join an existing share household. Cost can range from $70 to $250 per week, per person. It is not practical to arrange share accommodation before you arrive as you will need to get to know the people you intend living with.

Where to look for Accommodation The following is a list of places where you can go to find advertisements for accommodation:• Student noticeboards around JTI• Community noticeboards (usually in shopping centres)

Security Deposits (Bond) for Rented Accommodation

A landlord (property owner) or their real estate agent will ask you for a security deposit or bond. The bond is usually set at four weeks’ rent. In addit ion, you will pay rent in ad-vance – usually fortnightly (2 weeks) or monthly. The bond and one period of rent in advance must be paid when you sign the lease before you move in to your rented accom-modation. The bond guarantees that the tenant (the person renting) will care for the dwelling. If the tenant damages the prop-erty or neglects to clean it before leaving, the landlord has a legal right to keep all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with repairing damage or clean-ing the property. Otherwise, the landlord must return the security deposit in full within a month after the tenant leaves.

• Newspaper classifieds - properties for rent / to share• A variety of web sites (JTI International can offer suggestions)• Real Estate Agents – properties for rent

As part of your visa application process you will generally be required to demonstrate that you are able to cover the cost of living while in Australia, in addition to the cost of tuition (study fees).The cost of living can vary according to the type of accommodation you choose, its location and the lifestyle you lead. Although the cost of groceries, utilities, dining out and entertainment is similar across any city, the cost of accommodation in and around the city centre is higher than in the outer suburbs.

PERMANENT ACCOMMODATION

COST OF LIVING

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection provides the following indicative costs:

From 1 Feb 2018, the 12 month living cost will be:• Student/guardian $20,290• Partner/spouse $7,100• Child $3,040*Costs are indicative only and will vary according to lifestyle.

Typical expenses will include: rental bond, rent, furniture, utilities (electricity, gas, wa-ter), telephone and Internet connection, and food/grocer-ies, transportation, and other incidentals.

Bring your family

Most student visas allow you to bring your family mem-bers to Australia as your dependents (check your individ-ual circumstances with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection).Family members may include your spouse, and/or your dependent children. Before bringing your spouse or chil-dren to Australia, you will need to prove that you can sup-port them financially.Rather than bringing your family together with you to Australia, students may find it useful to arrive first, settle into studies, find appropriate accommodation, adjust to living in Australia and then arrange for their family to join them.Before making a decision to bring your family to Austra-lia it is important to consider the following issues:• The cost of airfares for your family to and from Australia• Possible higher rent for a larger home• Limited employment opportunities for your spouse• Extra costs for food, clothing and other necessities• The impact on you and your studies• Whether your children will adjust to school in Australia• Waiting lists for child care centres• Whether to come alone to Australia first and arrangethings for your family, or to all come at the same time.For more information, visit: www.immi.gov.au

Child CareFinding suitable childcare in Australia requires patience and planning. Waiting lists for places in most childcare centres are long and child care costs can be expensive.Many schools offer before- and after-school care pro-grams (usually 7:30am-8:45am and 3:30pm-6:00pm).

SchoolsIf you plan on bringing your children to Australia with you, you must be aware of the following schooling issues:• It is immigration policy that school-age dependents of international students undertake formal schooling while they are in Australia.• This applies to children who have their fifth birthday before 1st April in the calendar year you commence your studies.• You will need to provisionally enrol your child in a school before you leave your home country and you will nor mally have to pay school fees one semester in advance. The school will issue an electronic Confirmation of En rolment (eCoE) stating the program and its duration, so that you can obtain the appropriate visa for your child.• The Australian Diplomatic Mission in your country can tell you which schools in your state (Victoria or South Australia) are registered to take international studen ts. Fees are payable by international students at all public and independent (private) schools.• You will be responsible for school fees and other costs including school uniforms, books, excursions andstationery.• When choosing the most appropriate school for your child, it is best to ask questions about the school’s cur riculum, extra-curricular activities and the size of indi vidual classes.• You should also take into consideration the distance from the school to the JTI campus, the suburb in which you intend to live and the method of transport you plan to use. There are two types of schools in Australia – State Schools and Independent Schools.

State SchoolsAlso known as public or government schools are funded and run by the Department of Education in each Austra-lian state and territory.

Independent SchoolsIndependent (private) schools are non-government schools. Many independent schools provide a religious or values-based education and include small to large day schools, boarding schools, co-educational, and single- sex schools.

Children who need these programs must be registered with the school.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is health insurance that provides cover for the costs of medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia and is mandatory* for international student visa holders. OSHC will also cover the cost of emergency ambulance transport, hospital care, visits to doctors and most prescription medicines.

How do I get Overseas Student Health Cover?You will need to complete an Application for OSHCwhich is available from registered OSHC providers. Yourlocal education adviser/agent can lodge your OSHC formand payment at the time of processing your enrolmentto study in Australia. Alternatively, JTI International canassist with your OSHC.Only Australian health funds that have signed anagreement with the Australian Government can provideOSHC. You will be required to join one of these registered health funds.• Australian Health Management• BUPA Australia• Medibank Private• Allianz Global Assistance*• NIB OSHC

You may change your health fund at any time, but willneed to abide by the conditions of change of the healthfund provider you are leaving. Students may also take out additional medical insurance in the form of extra OSHC.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER (OSHC)

OSHC CostThe cost of your OSHC will depend on the duration of your student visa. The average cost is $500 per year, but stu-dents should make their own cost comparisons between OSHC providers.

*Students from countries whose governments have Reciprocal Health Agreements for students in Australia may be exempt from taking out OSHC. You should determine if you are eligible when applying for your visa to come to Australia.

MONEY MATTERS

You should read this section carefully, and discuss the issues raised in this section with your bank or financial institution in your home country before you leave. Every banks operates differently and you should be aware of all fees, charges, ease of access to your funds and security in the way you will access those funds.

How Much to Bring You will need to make sure you have enough funds to sup-port you when you first arrive. It is recommended that you have approximately $1,500 to $2,000 available for the first two to three weeks to pay for temporary accom-modation, transport and other immediate necessities. Please note that it is not a good idea to bring large sums of cash money with you! Lost credit cards or traveller’s cheques can be replaced, but very few travel insurance companies will replace lost or stolen cash.

Currency ExchangeOnly Australian currency can be used in Australia. If you have not brought Australian currency with you, you will need to exchange some as soon as possible after arriv-al. You can do this at your arrival airport any day of the week. You can also change money at any bank or currency exchange outlet, although banks generally are only open Monday to Friday.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) You can transfer money into Australia by electronic tele-graph or telegraphic transfer at any time. This is a fast option and will take approximately 48 hours, but the bank will charge a fee on every transaction.

Automatic Teller MachinesAutomatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are located every-where (including at the airport) and you can immediately withdraw cash from your overseas bank account in Aus-tralian currency if your ATM card has international access. Check this with your financial institution before leaving home. Be aware also that banks usually charge a fee for every withdrawal done this way.

Credit CardsAll major international credit cards are accepted in Austra-lia but you must remember that repayments for many of

You can choose to open an account at any Bank, Credit Union or Building Society in Australia. Do your research to get the best deal. The four largest banks with the biggest network of branches and ATM outlets are: • Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) • Westpac • National Australia Bank (NAB) • Australia and New Zealand Banking Corporation (ANZ)

These banks also have international affiliates or even over-seas branch offices and it may be useful to choose a bank that has branches, or an affiliation with a bank, in your home country.

To open a bank account, you will need: • Your passport (with arrival date stamped by Australian immigration) • Student ID card • Money to deposit into the account (this can be as little as $10)

Setting up a Bank Account

JTI’s International Department provides students with an over-view to Australian banks and our banking system. We also invite bank representatives to come in and discuss various options with students so they can make an informed decision about which ac-count is best for them and learn about features such as Internet banking which could include transferring funds between accounts and paying bills online.

these cards may only be made in the country where they were issued. This could involve high bank fees every time you transfer money back home from your Australian ac-count. You may be able to apply for an Australian credit card once you arrive but this can be difficult due to legal requirements, credit and identification checks.

ADJUSTING TO LIFE IN AUSTRALIA

As a student you may experience many different feelings when beginning your overseas study journey. Leaving your home country and coming to Australia to study is both ex-citing and challenging. You will experience a range of con-flicting emotions that are completely normal. While living and studying abroad may be an exciting adventure, it can also present a range of challenges. Having decided to study and live in Australia you will be making adjustments in many areas of your life including cultural, social, climatic and ac-ademic environment changes. As these changes occur you will be embarking upon a new course of study, (for many of you in a different language), and you will be away from your usual care and support networks of friends and family. It takes time to adjust to a new country and culture and you shouldn’t try to rush it. The values, beliefs, traditions and customs of your home country may vary greatly from those in Australia and adapting to the Australian way of life will come more easily for some than for others. But to get the most out of your Australian education experience you should try to adapt and embrace the Australian way of do-ing things. Here’s some advice that may help!

Listen, observe and ask questionsAllow yourself time to observe those around you. Watch patterns of verbal communication and non-verbal interac-tion such as gestures and ‘body language’. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if there are things you do not understand as this will reduce the chance of confusion or misunder-standings.

Get involvedMake an effort to meet people and become involved in groups both on campus and in the wider community. Try to maintain an attitude of openness to new situations and experiences. Establishing friendships and joining groups is the best way to experience and learn about Australian cul-ture and will certainly mean you have a richer and more enjoyable time here.

Try to maintain a sense of perspectiveWhen confronted with difficulties remind yourself that living and studying overseas is a challenge and it is nor-

mal to feel stressed, overwhelmed and out of your depth at times. Try to recall the reasons you initially wanted to study abroad in the first place. Look within yourself also and try to find signs of personal growth and positive change that have come about since you arrived in Aus-tralia.

Maintain some of the routines and rituals you may have had in your home countryDon’t be too anxious about trying to embrace everything Australian all at once. You are a product of your home country and culture and you should maintain some of your normal customs and habits. This will also help to avoid feelings of ‘home-sickness’. You might continue to eat the same food that you did at home and find people to communicate with in your own language. You might also get involved to celebrate a national day in your coun-try of origin with a group of friends.

Stay in touch with those at homeCommunicating regularly with those at home about your experiences of study and life in Australia is vital. Not only does it help to keep you connected with friends and fami-ly, they can share and understand your experiences which will help smooth the transition when you return home.

Have a sense of humourRemember that living in a different culture means you will inevitably find yourself in a range of unusual and often confusing situations and you are bound to make mistakes in things you do and say. Being able to laugh in these sit-uations will remind you that it takes time to understand different cultures and that it is ok to make mistakes. Gen-erally, Australians don’t easily take offence and are more likely to explain your mistake so you can learn by it – at the same time passing it off as a joke.

Ask for helpDon’t be afraid to ask for assistance or support if you need it. JTI’s Counselling Service is there to help with per-sonal as well as study matters. Our counsellors are always ready to listen and provide whatever assistance they can.

Get out and see Australia while you’re here!Australia is vast! When holiday time comes aroundyou should take the opportunity to see many of the attractions right on your doorstep and/or travel interstate. The island of Tasmania is an overnight journey by ferry across Bass Strait from Melbourne, or a short flight. Or travel north to tropical Queensland and visit the world famous Great Barrier Reef. On a long weekend you might head to Sydney – Australia’s ‘harbour city’, just an hour’s flight away.

A BIT ABOUT AUSTRALIA

Australia is both a country and an island continent. The Commonwealth of Australia comprises the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and nu-merous smaller islands. It is the 6th largest country in the world by total area. The Australian land mass lays between Asia and Oceania, with the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. Its nearest neighbours are Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east. Australia is one of the most highly developed and wealthiest countries in the world. It is the world’s 12th largest economy and the population enjoys the world’s 5th highest per capita income. It ranks highly in many international appraisals of national performance, such as quality of life, health, edu-cation, economy, and the protection of civil liberties and political rights. Australia is a land of contrasts and diversi-ty. Its landscape ranges from desert and bush land in the

Some facts about Australians that you may not be aware of:

• About one in four Australians were born in another country • Roughly one in four Australians have one or both parents born overseas• Approximately 17% of Australians speak a language oth er than English at home• There are more than 100 different ethnic groups repre sented in Australia• Approximately 70% of ‘Aussies’ live in one of the eight major cities. • About 80% of the population lives less than 80 km from the coast

central areas, to the northern tropics and temperate zones in the south. Australia’s alpine regions and snowfields in the south east are on the border between Victoria and New South Wales.

CultureAustralia is a unique blend of established traditions and new influences. The country’s original inhabitants, the Ab-original and Torres Strait Islander peoples, are the custodi-ans of one of the world’s oldest continuing cultural tradi-tions. They have been living in Australia for at least 40,000 years. Today Australia has a population of nearly 23 million people (with more than a third living in Melbourne and Sydney combined!) Following British colonisation in the late 18th century, the first waves of migrants and refugees occurred after the Second World War and came mostly from Europe, especially Greece and Italy. Subsequent mi-gration has derived from the South East Asia and, more recently, from the Middle East and Africa. Migrants have enriched almost every aspect of Australian life, from busi-ness to the arts, from cooking to comedy and from science to sport. They, in turn, have benefitted from Australia’s tol-erant, informal and broadly egalitarian society.

CustomsAustralia is a young and diverse nation and Australian peo-ple come from many different cultural backgrounds. As you settle in and make friends you will find that there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ Australian. You will encounter a wide range of social customs, habits and perspectives on life that may be new and different from what you have ex-perienced before.

ClothingAustralians enjoy a relaxed, generally informal dress code. Jeans or slacks with t-shirts or blouses, sneakers or ‘run-ning shoes’ are almost standard dress. Shorts are often worn during the summer months (by both men and wom-en) and ‘thongs’ or ‘flip flops’ are a very common form of footwear. A sports jacket or suit and tie for men and appro-priate dress for women are normal for business meetings, formal dinners, graduation ceremonies, dances or balls. You may hear the expression ‘smart casual’ which can ap-ply for entry into some bars, nightclubs and restaurants or certain social events. If you receive an invitation to a more formal occasion the mode of dress will often be indicated on the invitation. If you are unsure of how to dress in a particular situation, ask either your host or friends what they would consider appropriate.

GreetingsAustralia is a relaxed, informal society. When greeting others, people say ‘Hi’. Sometimes they will say ‘How’s it going?’ or ‘G’day’ – very Australian! Saying ‘Hello’ is slightly more formal. In more formal situations people usually shake hands the first time they meet. ‘Good morn-ing’, ‘Good afternoon’, or ‘Pleased to meet you’ are formal greetings. When you say goodbye to someone informally, ‘See you later’ or ‘See you around’ are common. This is often abbreviated to ‘See ya’. In a more formal situation you might say: ‘It was a pleasure to meet you’ or ‘It was nice to meet you’. First names are used more frequently in Australia than in some other countries. An Australian may encourage you to use their given name (e.g. “Call me Susan”). Teachers usually encourage students to call them by their given name. Australians will often greet their friends and even people they don’t know (both male and female) with ‘Hey mate’or‘Hi guys’. The use of ‘nicknames’ (or pet names) is very common. A nickname is usually used among friends, and is a sign of acceptance and friendship. The formal titles (Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Doctor, Professor etc.) and family name are usually only used in formal situations, when meeting someone for the first time, or when speaking to someone like a profes-sor or medical doctor. In Australia it is customary to look someone in the eye when you are talking to him/her. It is not insulting to do this, but instead shows that you are sincere and interested in what is being said. Australians will make direct eye contact with everyone, whether the person is an equal or of different status or social position. Children are taught to look directly at adults.

ConversationAustralia’s official language is English, but...

One problem commonly faced by students new to Australia is the use of slang. Slang is a normal aspect of every lan-guage but it may seem that some of the Australians you meet are speaking a completely different language, or you may recognise it as English but it doesn’t make sense! If someone says to you: “G’day mate, how [are] you going?” they are actually using a common greeting and asking af-ter your welfare - although they may not expect an answer. It’s more like a friendly remark. You may also find that Aus-tralians speak quickly and abbreviate or shorten words. For example, ‘university’ becomes ‘uni,’ ‘breakfast’ becomes ‘brekkie,’ ‘chocolate’ becomes ‘chockie’ and so on. You may find the Australian pronunciation is quite different from what you are used to or expect. Don’t worry as your ear will soon adjust to the Australian accent. With time the lan-guage will become more familiar and listening/understand-ing will become easier. If you don’t understand what people are saying, just ask them to explain or to repeat themselves - they won’t mind. If you think you might be missing import-ant information in lectures, make sure you seek help. If you require assistance speak with your lecturers, tutors or JTI’s International Student Co-ordinator. Unlike some cultures, Australians are often very direct and open in their speech and mannerisms. While some students may feel at first un-comfortable, it is important to understand that Australians are not deliberately trying to be offensive.

51


HumourAustralians are renowned for having a ‘dry’ or ‘laconic’ sense of humour. The distinctive Australian sense of hu-mour often involves light-hearted teasing, sometimes called ‘rubbishing’ or ‘stirring’. Humour is also centred on people who give the impression that they consider them-selves superior, or who are different. You may find people will joke about your accent, clothes or habits. In the major-ity of cases you should not take offence at this teasing, but see it as a form of acceptance. Don’t necessarily expect to understand Australian humour immediately. As your knowledge of the language and culture improves, you will find you are increasingly able to join in the laughter! The Australian friends you make will also explain why some-thing is funny if you can’t see the joke.

General BehaviourIn most urban areas it is an offence to make loud noise after 11.00pm. In the case of house parties it is expected that people will consider their neighbours when it comes to noise levels and music volume. Try not to telephone Australians before 9.00am or after 9.30pm unless it is unavoidable or you know the person is expecting your call at an earlier or later time. Always be punctual for ap-pointments. If you have to cancel an appointment or will be late, it is courteous to call and explain to the person waiting for you. Smoking is not permitted on public trans-port, in restaurants and enclosed public places like shop-ping malls. Anti-smoking laws vary from state to state in Australia, but generally no smoking in public places is be-coming more strongly enforced and the number of ‘No Smoking’ areas more numerous. If you want to smoke, you will usually have to go outside. Also do not assume that it is acceptable to smoke in someone else’s house or car - always ask.

52


Social InvitationsIf you receive a formal written invitation that is accom-panied by the letters RSVP and a date, you are being re-quested to reply by that date, either accepting or declin-ing the invitation. If a person offers to take you to dinner or ‘shout’ you a drink or meal, it implies that they will pay for it. In Australian bar culture, when someone ‘shouts’ you a drink or buys a ‘round’ for a group, it is expected that you will reciprocate by ‘shouting’ or buying a ‘round’ in turn. In this context ‘shouting’ does not mean talking loudly! If you are asked to ‘join’ or ‘go with’ someone or a group of people for a meal or to attend an entertain-ment venue, this suggests that you are expected to pay your own way. If you are invited to a home for a meal you should ask if you can bring something with you. This will usually be something simple like a bottle of soft drink or

wine/beer. Most student parties will be BYO (bring your own) which means everyone brings what they would like to drink. Usually the host will supply ‘nibbles’ such as nuts, potato crisps etc. Barbecues are popular meals in Austra-lia, especially in summer. This usually involves cooking food, and socialising, outdoors. Occasionally you may be asked to a social gathering where you are asked to ‘bring a plate’. This means a plate of food for you and others to share. If you have special reasons for not eating particular types of food, let your hosts know, so that they can make special arrangements for you. It is not necessary to take a gift if you only go for dinner or a short stay - but do so if you wish. If you are invited to join a celebration such as a birthday or Christmas, take a small gift such as bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates.

STUDY PATHWAY FOR FURTHER QUALIFICATIONS

For graduates of Job Training Institute to go on to higher education and undertake a Bachelor degree course, there are numerous options and benefits. All of our Diploma level courses are nationally recognised qualifications which also makes them ‘portable’. This means that students will be able to apply to any university in Australia and in most instances they may receive some academic credit or advance standing for their studies in the Diploma courses.

What is Academic Credit?Academic credit, also known as advance standing, means that you will receive some credit for your Diploma studies when you are accepted into your Bachelor degree course. The amount of credit offered is at the discretion of the en-rolling university, but students may get anything from 6 – 12 months’ credit (or the corresponding number of sub-ject credits). This reduces the time it takes to complete the Bachelor degree course and in some cases students may be able to complete their three-year Bachelor degree in just two years!

Pathways based on Personal Interest The education pathway that is right for you will depend on your skills and interests, your destination degree, and your career aspirations.

Right to work in Australia after graduation from a degree course

Under current regulations, graduates of the Diploma courses are eligible to apply for a Temporary Graduate (Graduate Work Stream) visa subclass 485, which if grant-ed, will enable the graduate to work in Australia for up to 18 months following successful completion of their Diplo-ma studies. Work must be directly related to the relevant Diploma degree.

International students graduating with a Bachelor or higher degree have the right to remain in Australia and work for between two and four years in a role related to their degree.

REFUND POLICY

FULL REFUNDTuition fees will be refunded or reallocated under the following circumstances:

• The student visa is refused and so the refund applicable in this case will be the amount of unspent pre-paid fees JTI has received for the course in respect to the student less the following amount: The lesser of: (a) 5% of the total amount of pre-paid fees that JTI re-ceived in respect of the student for the course before the default day

OR (b) The sum of $500 (refer to subsection 47E (2) of the Act and the ESOS Act (calculation of unspent pre-paid fees – other cases) determination 2012 (No.1) (4)

• A sanction has been imposed on JTI (refer ESOS Act 2000 – Part 6, Enforcement)

• The student has mistakenly paid more than 50% of total tuition fees for a course prior to commencement. JTI will refund the excess payment amount within 4 weeks of re-ceipt of application (refer to ‘Process for Payment of Fees’ section in regard to the refund process for overpayment)

• JTI fails to start to provide the course to the student at the location on the agreed starting day and the student has not withdrawn before the default day

• JTI fails to continue to deliver the course to the student at the location at any time after it starts but before it is completed and the student has not withdrawn before the default day. The refund in this instance applies to the difference between fees paid and course units deliv-ered and assessed. For example, there are 8 units in the course at a full fee of $8000, the student has just com-pleted the second study period and has made two pay-ments including the pre-paid tuition fee of $4000 and the balance payment of $4000. The student has completed

and been assessed in the first four units. JTI defaults and is not able to deliver the remaining four units. The outcome will be that JTI will offer the student a refund of $4000 (this is for tuition fees for units not completed) or placement in another course as an alternative to a refund. The student must then make a decision on either option. If the student selects the other course then JTI is not liable to refund the tuition fees for the original enrolment. The student will sign a transfer of enrolment agreement and a new eCoE will be issued. However, should the student request a re-fund, they will need to complete the Request for Refund form and submit it to the ISC. The refund will be paid with-in 4 weeks of receiving written claim from the student.

• JTI has withdrawn its offer to the applicant where it is found that false, misleading or incorrect or incomplete in-formation has been provided on the application prior to course commencement.

• JTI has cancelled the student’s enrolment due to the stu-dent breaching course progress requirements. A refund will be provided for tuition fees paid for the study periods not commenced.

• There is a death of a close family member of the stu-dent. To be considered, the deceased must be a parent, grandparent, sibling, spouse or child of the student and the student must not have commenced the course. Docu-mentation is required to validate any such claim.

• Prior to course commencement, there is a major political upheaval or natural disaster in the student’s home coun-try. This request for refund will be reviewed and consid-ered by the CEO; it is at the CEO’s discretion whether to approve this request. Documentation is required to vali-date any such claim.

JTI - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

How can I check the progress or status of my application ?Students may check the status of their enrolment appli-cation any time by contacting either JTI directly or their local JTI representative, depending on where they made the original application.

If a student wants to transfer credit from one institution to another, how do they do this? Students must stay for at least six months with the in-stitution in which they first enrolled for their principal course. Students must complete a Transfer Request Form at JTI, stating the reason(s) why the transfer is requested. This request is then considered on its merits by JTI. Ac-ademic credit transfer, if any, is at the discretion of the subsequent institution where the student is seeking to enrol. Note: Although some credit transfer is usual, it is not guaranteed. Applications for credit transfer must be made to the enrolling institution and are considered on a case by case basis. Students must stay for at least six months with the institution in which they first enrolled for their principal course. Students must complete a Transfer Request Form at JTI, stating the reason(s) why the transfer is requested. This request is then considered on its merits by JTI.

Are standardized tests required for international student admission? If JTI teaching staff has concerns about a student’s level of English proficiency when they begin their course, they will administer a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) test. If the results of the LLN test are not satisfactory, the student will be referred to an english language class to gain the necessary level of proficiency. In such cases, this will mean a delay to the student’s start date for their JTI course.

What are the Admissions Office Hours? Campus office hours are 09:00 – 17:00 Australian Eastern Standard Time.

What is the education pathway if I decide to contin-ue my education further in Australia?JTI qualifications are recognised nationally. Graduates of the Diploma courses may go on to further vocational (prac-tical skills) training or higher education (degree courses). JTI partners with Federation University and we recom-mend our students to apply for degree courses in Feder-ation University. Students will need to apply for a visa ex-tension if they wish to go on to further study. This can be done while in Australia. Graduates of JTI’s Diploma cours-es may obtain some academic credit toward a Bachelor degree, subject to meeting the university’s academic and English language proficiency entry requirements.

What would be the degree choices that I would be eligible for? Students graduating from the JTI Diploma level courses may apply to an Australian (or overseas) university to un-dertake an undergraduate (Bachelor) degree course. Stu-dents should approach JTI International Student Coordi-nator for further information

Is the accreditation for Diploma of Nursing rec-ognised in my country?The JTI Diploma of Nursing is accredited by the Austra-lian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMAC). When the student graduates with the Diploma of Nursing, they are eligible to apply for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner regulation Agency (AHPRA). As such the qualification may be recognised for registration by the equivalent professional Nursing accreditation body in the student’s home country but students need to check the requirements of registration in their home country.

What scholarships are available through the uni-versity? How can I be considered for an award? JTI offers scholarships. For more details, please visit http://www.jti.edu.au/?option=com_content&view=arti-cle&id=130

57


Who is my local admissions representative? Please refer to JTI’s agent list on our website.

Do international students get financial aid and if so what is the application process?Most international students are self-funded. Financial aid may be available from the student’s home country gov-ernment and students should make their own enquiries in this regard. In addition the Australian government offers the Endeavour Vocational Education and Training (VET) Scholarship for students enrolling in Diploma courses. For more information and applications, students should visit the official scholarship website: https://aei.gov.au/Scholarships-and-Fellowships/Pages/de-fault.aspx The Endeavour Scholarships are offered annually

Will applying for financial aid hurt or delay my chances of admission? If financial aid is available from your home country govern-ment or you are granted an Australian Endeavour Schol-arship, this will not hurt either your visa application or chances for admission. However, the process of applying for financial aid will delay the enrolment process as you will need to secure funding before applying for admission.

What support would I expect from JTI if I wanted to? JTI assists graduates of our Diploma level courses in their choice of education pathways to further education, e.g. Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Education, bachelor of Community services among others. Advice and general guidance is available from JTI’s International Department.

How can I support myself financially while studying at JTI? As part of their student visa application through online application at www.border.gov.au, students will need to demonstrate that they have the funds available to cov-er both their tuition fees and the cost of living for the full duration of their course(s) in Australia. International students have the right to work as part of the conditions attached to their student visa. Students may work up to 20 hours per week while their course is in session and fulltime during term breaks, but should not rely on this to fund their studies or living expenses.

What assistance does JTI offer to prospective stu-dents while applying for a student visa? JTI issues a Letter of Offer to students who meet our en-try requirements. If a student accepts our offer, we then issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) following receipt of the first instalment of tuition fees. Students will need this CoE when applying for their student visa. We can also assist students with their compulsory Overseas Stu-dent Health Cover (OSHC).

Do I require a passport before I commence the appli-cation process? Yes. Students will need to have a passport, or have made an application for a passport, before applying for a visa. This will reduce any possible delay in the event that the student visa application is approved.
