5 Essentials to Pack for Studying in Australia
1. WANT TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA? 5
THINGS YOU MUST KEEP IN MIND
Post study work Right visa in Australia
2. study overseas For Australia
After finishing all the documentation work for overseas study in Australia whether it is undergraduate
program or Masters in Australia, students are really excited to pack their bags and get ready to go to
Australia. Students normally get confused and ask “I am going to Australia. What should I carry?”.
The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is that never ever carry everything that you have in your
room at your home. Sort stuff out strictly on the basis of what you will need there and what you
won’t.Do not stuff in everything in your luggage, try to minimise things, remember you are leaving
your homeland not your home planet. The more things you carry, the more difficulty you will face in
handling them. We live in a globalised world and things are easily available everywhere. One or two
suitcases are more than enough, but do carry a small ‘Handy bag’ which carries all your essential
things. Better to have a backpack that ensures your hands are free as far as possible.

thing that you must have before anything, so keep
that first.

visa in the immigration counter.

status.Well, if you have them carry them, but on safe
side keep emergency medicines with you like
antipyretic drugs, anti-vomiting, anti-pain spray, etc.
Keep a small first aid box,make it very compact.

must have in your
‘HANDY BAG’
4. 5 Essential things you must have in your
‘MAIN BAG’
1.Important documents: Medical history/reports, university acceptance letter, health
insurance,academic certificates, post-study work rights in australia and Australian scholarship
documents are something you should have with you at all times. Photocopies of these documents
must be with you in a separate luggage.
2.Footwear and eyewear: Do carry your formal shoes and casual footwear like
sneakers/joggers/sandals.Since you are visiting Australia and there are many beaches to hang out,
you must have appropriate footwear for that. The Australian sun is bright, so keep a pair of
goggles and if you have a vision problem, then keep an extra spectacles/contact lens with you.
Remember procuring spectacles/contact lenses requires an optician’s prescription in Australia.
3.Clothing: Australia lies in the temperate zone, and overall the country is a very casual place.
Jean, sports T-shirt, sports jacket, suit, shirt, any causal or formal dress are acceptable, irrespective
of gender. Avoid heavy overcoats during winters,light windproof and showerproof coats are
generally considered ideal, you can also carry pullovers and jackets. If you among those who feel
cold more than others, keep gloves and mufflers.
5. 5 challenges you may encounter In Australia
1. Time difference: Did you knowAustralia is 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of India, so the moment you reach
Australia, set your clock. Initially you may have some problems adjusting to the time difference, but eventually, you
will be fine. One thing to note here is that you will have to plan your skype/telephonic conversation with your family
and friends accordingly. Simply subtract 4 hours and 30 min from the clock reading.
2. Financial pressure: The moment you land in Australia you must keep in mind that Australia is
209.42% costlier than India. So, manage and plan your expenditure judiciously.Make sure you have estimated your
financial abilities before leaving India.
3.Difference in grading system: Australian universities normally use HD (High Distinction), D means
Distinction, C means Credit, P means Pass, and F means Fail, in their grading system. If you have studied hard
butgota ‘D’don’t freak out. D might be a bad grade for Indians, but not in Australia.
