Over the past two weeks, we were proud to have been part of two incredible International Student Welcome Events, hosted by the City of Sydney and the City of Newcastle.

Bringing together culture, community and connection, these events helped students make new friends, experience their new cities, and connect with the services that support life and study in NSW.

With 1,000+ international students joining across both events, it was a fantastic reminder of the energy and diversity students bring to our communities.

Welcome to NSW! We’re so glad you’re here.

As we approach the end of the year and begin the countdown to 2026, the Study NSW team has been reflecting on all the great achievements from 2025.

We’ve welcomed over 12,000 international students at the Sydney Airport Welcome Desk, celebrated volunteers with 30+ hours of service at the Volunteer Recognition Ceremony, launched a new accommodation quiz to match students to their ideal accommodation type, and supported the Lord Mayor’s Welcome events in Sydney and Newcastle to welcome international students to NSW.

From all of us in the Study NSW team, we wish you a relaxing break and holiday season filled with warmth and happiness. We encourage you to take this time to explore NSW and celebrate with your loved ones.

Find the right place to call home in NSW! 🏡

We’ve launched a brand-new Accommodation Quiz to help students discover the best housing option for their lifestyle.

Whether you’re after shared living, homestays, or independent spaces, the quiz considers:
💰 Cost estimates and pros & cons
🚆 Public transport access
📚 Tutoring availability
🍳 Cooking & cleaning preferences

It’s quick, insightful, and tailored for students in NSW.
