Arrival day

We're here for you as soon as you land

If you are arriving from overseas, there is support available for you at Sydney Airport. You can speak to someone in the Arrivals Hall, take your pre-booked shuttle to convenient Sydney locations and then afterwards come to campus to meet us at the Welcome Hub.

What to do when you get off the plane

If you've landed at Sydney International Airport, follow your fellow passengers through to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service checkpoint for your passport and visa check. Make sure you've completed your incoming passenger card by this point (which you should receive on the plane). You'll then be able to collect your bags before exiting through the quarantine check. Once you exit, you’ll come out in either Arrival Hall A or B of the International Terminal. You can now connect to the airport's free Wi-Fi service.

It's important you know what you're allowed to bring into Australia and what you need to declare.
