Orientation Program
An orientation program is conducted before classes
and is compulsory for all newly-arrived international students. The program includes an introduction to
UNI service and facilities as well as an introduction to Australian Culture, Society and life. Students are
also introduced to the academic culture and rules of
UNI which are considered necessary for successful
study.
Counselling service
The UNI Counselling service is free. Confidential and
voluntary counsellors help students in understanding
the way UNI works. These counsellors know who to
refer you for solving problems and dealing with difficult personal situations.
Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC)
All international students must have current health
insurance while studying in Australia. This is a Visa regulation. The only exceptions are Swedish and
Norwegian students, who will be required to pay up front for their medical service.
Medicare
All permanent Australian residents are entitled to receive free treatment as a public (Medicare) patient
in a public hospital. This includes free treatment by a doctor and includes treatment by specialists where
necessary. Subsidised service is available from optometrists and dentists for specified services.
Emergencies
In an emergency, where there is a danger to life or
a crime is in progress you should contact the police, fire department or ambulance by dialling 000 from
any telephone. This is a free call in emergencies only.
Fire safety in the home
In South Australia, legislation is in place to make
smoke alarms compulsory for all residential buildings. Most fire-related deaths result from the
inhalation of toxic gases rather than from direct
contact with flame or exposure to heat. Correctly
located smoke alarms in your home give early warning of fire. This will provide you with time which
may be vital to your survival.
Beach safety
Be careful when swimming in Australian water.
Some parts of the coast have powerful currents and tides. Shark attacks are rare but sometimes do
occur. It is safest to swim at popular beaches. Areas marked by red and yellow flags are patrolled by surf
life-savers. Never mix alcohol with survival.
Students with School Age Dependants
Students should add a further 20% per annum for living expenses if they have one child (plus AUD
8000 per annum for the cost of schooling) if the
children are of school age.
