Australian Catholic University (ACU)

Travelling to a foreign country to study can be a challenge. At ACU we aim to maximise your learning and development opportunities and eliminate stress and anxiety.

We have developed a number of academic and social support services to ensure that you are in the best position to achieve your goals.

Here are some of the services we offer:

International student advisers

Our International Student Advisers (ISA) can assist with general enquiries, accommodation advice, student visa information and pre-departure and orientation information, and they’re also a great resource if you’ve got a question and you aren’t sure who to ask.

Academic skills support

Each campus has an Academic Skills Unit with advisers who can help you to study successfully at university. They will help you to develop learning, writing, and language strategies.

Accommodation

The ACU Rental Advisory Service team can assist you to find accommodation suitable for your needs.

Career development and employment service

Careers advisers are available on each campus of ACU to assist students with making career decisions, identifying personal career goals, developing employability skills, searching for employment and preparing employment applications.

Counsellors

Qualified counsellors are available at each campus to offer free, confidential advice. The counselling service provides practical advice on study, finance and university procedures. Where necessary, they can also help with stress management, grief, depression and relationship difficulties.

Associations, clubs and societies

Every ACU campus provides basic student recreational facilities such as common rooms and outdoor sporting and passive leisure areas. Student Associations on each campus promote the welfare of students and encourage broad participation in university life.
