Pay attention to the following items when going to Australia:

The first thing is to arrange pick-up and accommodation in advance. This must be arranged before leaving, with the paid receipt and the phone number of the contact person.

The second is to carry good documents.

1, passport, visa.

2. a copy of the offer or ECOE.

3. Receipts or vouchers of tuition fees and medical insurance for international students.

4. All kinds of notarized materials (basically, you should bring one copy when you apply for a visa, in case of renewal or other time)

5. ID photo (1 inch, 10 is 2 inches each)

6. Driver's license. If you need to drive in Australia for a long time, it is best to take a driver's license in Australia. Domestic driver's license needs to be translated by a local designated institution in Australia before it can be recognized. Those who meet the requirements can be exempted from learning to drive.

7. Address book (telephone numbers of domestic friends, foreign schools or other important institutions)

8. Air tickets or travel routes.

Third, bring books, stationery and other tools.

1, English-Chinese dictionary (although the teacher will definitely recommend Ying Ying dictionary, it is inconvenient without English-Chinese). Don't scribble in the dictionary, not even Chinese characters. The teacher will check it during the exam. If there is handwriting, it is unqualified. Of course, many times you are not allowed to bring reference books to the exam.

2, electronic dictionary (the English-Chinese dictionary mentioned above is for home use, and many content electronic dictionaries are not available. The electronic dictionary will be taken to school by you. Remember to turn off the sound in class!

3, travel guide, although there will be many similar brochures at the airport after arriving in Australia, but the content is not detailed, it is better to bring one yourself.

4, stationery, Australia and other items are not cheap, bring more. Pencils are commonly used, so bring more.

5. A durable schoolbag is very important. All textbooks and handouts in the school are at least A4, which is very heavy. If a day's class may bring meals, then a durable schoolbag is very important. Australian students like to throw schoolbags everywhere. China students may not be used to it when they first go, but they will do it themselves gradually, so durable schoolbags are very important.

6, recipes In fact, many times you can look up recipes from the Internet, but it doesn't hurt to bring one.

7. Staplers and staples

8. Pasteable color labels

9. Function calculator, especially suitable for business accounting and finance.

The fourth is electronic products.

1, mobile phone, charger. Needless to say, you must bring it. Australia can use GSM and 3G networks. GSM is recommended. Australia can sign 3G, which is very cheap.

2. MP3, IPAD and digital camera. The usage needs no explanation, it is very useful. In addition, many people ask if they want to bring a recording pen. According to the truth, it is legally impossible to record lectures to professors with a recording pen. That's someone else's copyright, so many professors will tell you not to use the recording pen in advance. But most professors don't care. It's not that serious. For practical purposes, I seldom see students really listen to those contents after class, so this thing is of little use.

3. Rechargeable batteries and chargers. If you have anything that consumes electricity, bring a rechargeable battery. Things like Australia are super expensive.

4, terminal board, ordinary terminal board is very cheap in Australia, but you must bring longer wires and better quality sockets. Many times there is only one jack in your bedroom wall, but you need to plug in a lot of electrical appliances, so this is necessary.

5. Telephone lines, network cables and portable phones with crystal heads. The telephone line should be at least 10 meter. Calls from Australia to China are very cheap. Many students like to call home for an hour or two. If you don't want to expose the phone content to your roommate in the living room, it is the best choice to bring a telephone line to the bedroom.

6, commonly used software. Once the computer crashes and the system is reinstalled, these will come in handy.

The fifth thing to bring is clothes.

1, clothes Depending on the individual situation, remember that the seasons in Australia and China are opposite. Some heavy clothes that are not used for the time being can be sent to your home later, or brought back when you have a holiday.

2, formal attire, some speeches need to be dressed in formal attire during study.

3, a swimsuit, needless to say, if you like swimming, Australia is a good place.

4, bedding, you can take it with you, you can buy it locally.

5, umbrellas, it often rains in Australia, which is very useful. But I recommend going to Australia to buy that kind of umbrella, which is basically not available in China.

Finally, daily necessities.

1, glasses, contact lenses, potions. This depends on personal needs.

2. Toothbrush and toothpaste. These things are very expensive in Australia. Take as much as you can. I always carry it for a year.

3, coin purse, Australian coins are used more.

4. Washing powder can be bought in local supermarkets in Australia and is not expensive.

5. Lunch boxes that can be heated by microwave ovens. You must bring this. It's very common.

6, skin care products need to be brought. In addition, sun protection is necessary, but it is best to buy local products in Australia. It is confirmed by many people that the Australian products of SPF30 are better than domestic products.

7. Paper money. Excluding the deposit and rent for accommodation, it is enough for students who have just arrived in Australia to bring 1000 Australian dollars. The rest of the money can be remitted from China by draft or after you open an Australian account.

In addition, you should bring UnionPay cards in China. Australian dollars can be withdrawn at any time at the local cash machines of NAB or HSBC in Australia, and the daily withdrawal limit does not exceed 65,438+00,000 RMB. China Bank Card is recommended. No matter how much money is withdrawn, the handling fee is 15 RMB each time. This thing works well. As long as you deposit RMB in your card at home, you can withdraw Australian dollars at any time in Australia. It is convenient to use a small amount of temporary money.

Other matters needing attention.

1, preoperative physical examination. In addition to the physical examination when applying for a visa, it is best to have a detailed physical examination in China before departure to check whether there are potential problems in all parts of the body. Because international students usually live irregularly outside and the environment in Australia is good, they rarely get minor illnesses such as colds and fever, so students usually don't take the initiative to think of Australia for some tests, which can easily induce some potential diseases. You'd better have a systematic check before you go out.

2. Dentistry is very expensive abroad, which is not covered by medical insurance. If you have any dental problems, you'd better solve them at home.

Another thing to pay attention to is drugs.

1, Chinese herbal medicines are not allowed, but Chinese patent medicines are allowed.

2, ordinary western medicine can also be brought, if you need to carry a large number of the same drugs because of a certain disease, you need to carry a certificate issued by a doctor.

3, with some medicine to clear away heat and detoxify, Australia is easy to get angry.

4. Drugs for intestinal diseases must be eaten.

5, allergic drugs should be brought.

6. Cough and anti-inflammatory drugs

7. Topical hemostatic plaster, etc.

8. Thermometer

Many people will think that the customs inspection of such articles is very strict, afraid of trouble or unclear explanation. In fact, Australian Customs faces a large number of overseas students every year and sees many such things. You just have to tell them that these drugs are for your own use. It doesn't matter whether there is an English explanation or not. Few people will look it up.

Tell me a trick of packing.

1, all liquids, pastes and sharp objects should not be taken on the plane, but should be put in the checked baggage.

2. Pack the medicine or food separately and put it on the surface of the suitcase for easy inspection. If you put it at the bottom, the customs staff won't help you put it back. When the time comes, you will see that the luggage that was cleverly stuffed after the death of many brain cells in China was taken out one by one, and you have to worry about how to put it back after the inspection.

3. Books and other items that occupy a small area but are heavy are best placed in the carry-on travel bag, so that more things can be checked by reducing the weight.

4. Take a bigger traveling bag with you, and put some heavy things on your back. Don't check it.

5. When you go to Australia for the first time, don't bring something that you can't use immediately or often. You can send them to your home when you settle down.

6. A single piece of luggage can't exceed 32kg. If it exceeds this weight, according to the local labor protection regulations in Australia, porters can refuse to carry it because such heavy objects may harm their health. Of course, the overweight baggage will be sent back to your departure airport without being fined or anything else. You will cry when this happens!

If you have acquaintances at domestic airports, please automatically ignore items 3, 4 and 5. But be careful, if you need to take these items to transfer in Australia, you will be asked to pay a large overweight fee, because you can't find acquaintances at the Australian airport.
