Welcome

The Chief Minister’s Student Welcome is an annual event delivered by Study Canberra, an ACT Government program that works in partnership with ACT tertiary institutions to promote Canberra as a leading study destination.

The event provides a formal welcome to new tertiary students arriving in Canberra and aims to facilitate social connection, positive engagement, and access to practical settlement information. While the event is open to all new tertiary students, the primary audience is international students, the majority of whom have been in Australia for less than two months at the time of the event.

Location: Gandel Hall, National Gallery of Australia
