Support for Families
Here you can find support information for families of international students. To fully appreciate the UNSW experience, we invite you to attend our social events, career sessions, exchange experiences and practice conversational English.
Guide for parents and supporters of students
There's a lot to organise and information to take in so we've developed this guide to assist in understanding what it means to be a successful student at UNSW and how you can help your son, daughter, family member or partner to get the most out of their time at UNSW:
Bringing family
The Bringing Family Guide is provided as a guide to assist students who are planning to bring their families to Australia. It is designed to provide information, links and resources relating to accommodation, childcare, schooling and employment for partners.
Information sessions, workshops and activities
We want your UNSW experience to be enriching for every member of your family. Come and join us at our social events.
