STUDENT MENTORSWe at ATMC recognise that students might
need additional help with their academic and
non academic student support services. So
we assign mentors to each of our students.
This service is available to all ATMC students,
free of charge, whereby they are able to work
with high-performing, more senior students,
who act as their mentors. These mentors,
students with specialised knowledge who
have excelled academically, are employed to
assist students, either individually or in small
study groups.
ATMC CAREERS ASSISTANCEAt ATMC we provide specialist career
services, including career coaching that is
delivered by a qualifi ed Careers Counsellor.
These services are free to all enrolled ATMC
students and include a Program on Strategic
Career Management that is exclusive to
ATMC. The program includes workshops that

opportunities, resume development and
preparing for interviews. Additional Career
Assist sessions are designed to help ATMC
students to maximise their employability
outcomes. Sessions are scheduled regularly

BEFORE YOU LEAVEOnce your Confi rmation of Enrolment comes
through and you have secured your student
visa, it’s time to start thinking of some of the
practicalities of travelling to Australia.
PACKINGIt’s worth packing a few mementos from home
that will give you some comfort when you’re
missing your friends and family, but keep in
mind that most airlines have a checked baggage
restriction of about 20kg (about 44lb).
The type of clothing you should bring with you
depends on the part of the country you will be
living in, and the time of year you arrive. The
Australian summer coincides with the fi rst
academic semester in February, which is when
most international students arrive. This means
that you can probably get by with jeans, t-shirts
and light jackets. If you arrive in time for the
second academic semester around July, you’ll
need to pack some warm jumpers or
sweaters, long-sleeved t-shirts and a coat to
cope with winter weather. However,
Australian winters are mild in comparison to
the icy weather you’d encounter in the
Northern Hemisphere. Check out
www.bom.gov.au for the latest weather
information around Australia.
INSURANCEChances are pretty good that your trip will go
smoothly and you won’t encounter any
problems. Even so, you should plan for the
unexpected. Cancelled fl ights, lost luggage
and wallets can end up costing you a lot of
time and money, so take out travel insurance
before you leave. It won’t guard against bad
things happening, but it will protect you
against having to cover unexpected costs.
All student visa holders entering Australia must
have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
for the duration of their stay. OSHC will help
you pay for any visits to the doctor you may
have while in Australia. Go to the Overseas
Student Health Cover page for information on
what your OSHC will cover.
MONEYYou should bring enough Australian currency
in cash for your fi rst few days, without carrying
large amounts of cash on you. You should also
have easy access to about AU$1,500 – 3,000
in travellers’ cheques (in your name) so that
you can start establishing yourself and setting
up your new home quickly.
Note that if you are carrying more that
AU$10,000, or equivalent currency, you must
declare it to Customs offi cials when you enter
Australia.
Student SupportPRE DEPARTUREATMC is committed to providing detailed
information and arrangements for the
following services before the student leaves
their country:
• General information regarding
Melbourne, Sydney and Australia
• Airport Pick-Up services
• Visa Guidance
• Health Insurance Advice
• Banking Facilities
• Support in fi nding a school for
school-aged dependents accompanying
their parents/guardians
OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVERAustralia has a special system of health cover
for international students called Overseas
Student Health Cover (OSHC). You will need
to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to
cover you from when you arrive. The
Department of Immigration and Border
Protection requires you to maintain OSHC for
the duration of your time on a student visa in
Australia.
ATMC has an agreement with a specifi c OSHC
provider Allianz Global Assistance. You can
choose to take out OSHC with this provider, or
with the Australian OSHC provider of your
choice. For detailed information, please visit;
www.oshcallianzassistance.com.au

Student SupportSHORT-TERM ACCOMMODATIONIt’s a good idea to try to organise a permanent
place to live before you arrive in Australia.
However, you may decide to wait until you
arrive to get an idea of distances between your
campus and surrounding suburbs, or to
inspect private rental accommodation.
ARRIVING IN AUSTRALIAAt some stage during your fl ight to Australia
you will be handed an Incoming Passenger
Card to fi ll in. Answer the questions accurately
and truthfully, especially those about the items
in your luggage that you may have to declare
to Customs offi cials.
If you are unsure of where to go or what to do
when you disembark from your fl ight in
Australia, ask an offi cial for help. They will
guide you.
CLEARING IMMIGRATION & CUSTOMS CHECKPOINTSOnce you land, you will follow the signs to an
Immigration checkpoint.
Here, you will need to show your passport,
visa and Incoming Passenger Card. You may
also have to show your Confi rmation of
Enrolment.
Once you have cleared this checkpoint you
will enter the baggage hall where you can
claim your luggage and proceed to Customs
and baggage examination.
COUNSELLING SERVICEATMC has a designated Student Support
Offi cer to provide a basic counselling service
to all students. This service provides assistance
to students experiencing diffi culties in any
aspect of their lives, including issues of
academic or personal nature. ATMC can also
refer students to external counselling service
for various issues if necessary however each
issue is dealt with on a case by case basis.
HEALTH SERVICESDetails about the Health Services and
Hospitals in the local area are provided during
the Orientation Period. You will need to buy
OSHC before you come to Australia to cover
you from when you arrive.
Your OSHC will help you pay for any medical
or hospital care you may need while you’re
studying in Australia, and it will contribute
towards the cost of most prescription
medicines, and an ambulance in an
emergency (only).
AIRPORT PICKUPAirport pick up service is available to
international students upon request (charges
apply, see fees and charges). Students will be
met at the Arrivals hall and taken to their
accommodation. For further details please
contact us.
Consumer Aff airs Victoria and NSW Fair
Trading have information on your rights and
responsibilities when renting a house or
apartment in Victoria and NSW respectively.

problem with your landlord. Please refer to the

Phone: 13 32 20
LEAVING THE AIRPORTOnce you have cleared all incoming
passenger checkpoints, you will be
welcomed to Australia and directed to the
arrivals hall. If you need to exchange some
money into Australian dollars you will fi nd
Currency Exchange booths throughout the
airport.
If you have arranged for friends or relatives to
meet you, they will be waiting for you in the
arrivals hall.
Public transport is available at all international
airports and most regional airports. You can
generally expect that a taxi service will be
available, and you may also fi nd buses and
trains.
If you are transferring to a domestic fl ight,
follow the signs to the domestic terminal. At
some of the larger airports this may be some
distance, so look out for intra-airport terminal
shuttle services to get you there faster.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ASSISTANCEThe current English requirement for ATMC
students is an overall IELTS score of 6.0 with no
individual band score less than 6.0 or
equivalent. English language assistance is
available to provide ongoing English and
study skills support to international students.
13
Student SupportSUPPORT SERVICESAt ATMC we are dedicated to providing all our
students with the very best support services,
so that they have a successful academic and
personal experience. In addition to the normal
support services, international students are
provided with a range of specialist services
such as assistance with resume-writing and
looking for part-time work. Students have
access to welfare-related support services to
assist with issues that may arise during their
study, including program progress,
attendance requirements and
accommodation. These services are made
available to all ATMC students.
The Student Support Offi cer is responsible for
the orientation and on-going welfare of all
international students and can be contacted
via email: [email protected]
The Student Support Offi cer launches the
student on their educational journey from
orientation to organizing social activities and
excursions. The Student Support Offi cer has
access to a range of resources and services
that the student may wish to access including
health/legal services, study facilities/

COST OF LIVINGAustralia off ers a unique experience for
students. Apart from a world-class education
system, the opportunities to get involved in
daily life are endless: whether you’re into the
arts or sport, partying or book clubs, the great
outdoors or cosy cafés, you’ll fi nd many ways
to join in and have fun. So if you want to get an

Student SupportMELBOURNEVictoria is not only a great place to study, live
and work, Melbourne off ers an excellent
quality of life – making it one of the world’s
most livable cities.
SYDNEYSydney is Australia’s largest and most famous
city. It’s home to beautiful beaches, iconic
buildings, historic landmarks, award winning
restaurants and a vibrant culture. From the
breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour to the
serene tranquillity of Hyde Park, Sydney has
something for everyone.
STUDENT VISA CONDITIONS Noncompliance
Your visa conditions are set out in the letter of
approval you receive with your visa or on your
visa label. It is important that you are familiar
with these conditions and follow them. Every
year, a number of students abuse the law by,
for example, working longer hours than
permitted by their visa or overstaying their visa.
If you break your conditions, your visa may be
cancelled and you may be required to leave
Australia. You may also be prevented from
returning to Australia for three years aft er your
visa is cancelled.
If your circumstances change and you want to
change your program or provider, or you wish
to stay longer, you should contact your nearest
DIBP offi ce for advice on how to make these
arrangements. It is also important that you
ensure your visa does not expire while you are
in Australia. If you remain in Australia for more
than 28 days aft er your student visa expires
without obtaining a new one, you may be
prevented from returning for three years.
Please visit www.border.gov.au for further
information.
Extending your Visa
If your student visa expires before you have
fi nished your program of study, you will need
to apply for a new one at your local
immigration offi ce OR at the visa section at the
Australian Mission or Embassy in your home
country. Further information is available on the
DIBP website at www.border.gov.au
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICESYour source of learning support for course
content will always be your lecturers and
tutors, but you can seek general academic
skills support from a Student Adviser or
Student Support Offi cer at your campus.
LEARNING CONTEXTSYour lecture will generally contain the core
information to be covered for that week. All
students enrolled in the course will attend
lectures as a group. The tutorial provides an
opportunity to discuss the lecture and talk
about topics in detail. Sometimes students are
asked to present papers individually or as part
of a group in a tutorial.
Laboratory Sessions (Labs or Pracs) are
practical classes, where students conduct
tests and experiments with the assistance and
supervision of lecturers or tutors.
Self Directed Study is a student’s personal
program of study which fi ts around the
‘contact hours’ of lectures, tutorials and labs.
This personal program includes reading,
research, writing up lecture notes, writing
essays and reports, discussion with other
students and lecturers, studying for exams,
etc. A well organised and regular study
program is essential for success at ATMC.
Studying in Australia may seem diffi cult at fi rst.
It is natural to take some time to settle into your
studies. If you are having diffi culties, discuss
this with your lecturer or tutor. Your lecturer or
tutor is available to assist you if you are not sure
what is required.
You may email your lecturer or tutor to arrange
with the Student Service Offi cer a the front
desk to organise an appointment.
STUDENT MENTORSWe at ATMC recognise that students might
need additional help with their academic and
non academic student support services. So
we assign mentors to each of our students.
This service is available to all ATMC students,
free of charge, whereby they are able to work
with high-performing, more senior students,
who act as their mentors. These mentors,
students with specialised knowledge who
have excelled academically, are employed to
assist students, either individually or in small
study groups.

Student Support
A Student Academic Support Offi cer is also
available to assist students with any academic
problems including course progress,
attendance requirements and any other issues
that may arise. ATMC has a friendly and
approachable administration team on hand to
help you with your transition to life and study in
a new environment.
STUDENT VISA CONDITIONSThe Department of Immigration and Border
Protection (DIBP) is the Australian Government
department which manages everything
relating to your student visa. You must make
sure you meet the conditions of your visa.
There may also be special conditions for
students on scholarships. Make sure you read
and understand all the conditions of your
scholarship to ensure you comply, or else your
visa may be cancelled and you may be
deported.
ACCOMMODATIONFinding the right accommodation is one of the
biggest challenges facing a new international
student, and fi nding a place in your price
range can be even harder. It is extremely
important that you factor the cost of housing
into your budget before you come to Australia,
and have access to funds that will cover rent
expenses. Keep an eye on websites like:
www.domain.com.au and
www.realestate.com.au.
Which list properties to rent.
This should give you a good idea of the type of
accommodation that is available to a person
with your budget. Another good tip is to get
references from people you may already have
rented accommodation from at home.
Providing copies of these to a real estate agent
when you apply for a property can show them
that you have a proven record of being a good
tenant. You should also be prepared to
provide them with evidence that you have
enough money to pay for your
accommodation, for example with a bank
account statement.
Consumer aff airs Victoria has information on
your rights and responsibilities when renting a
house or apartment in Victoria. For further

TYPES OF ACCOMMODATIONThere are many diff erent types of
accommodation available, so you should be
able to fi nd something that suits your needs.
Most accommodation, except home stay,
does not include electrical items, furniture,
and bedding or kitchen utensils. Cheap
household goods are available from
second-hand retail outlets or are advertised for
private sale in newspapers or on institution
notice boards, but you may wish to bring
some of your own basic items.
Temporary accommodation can be arranged
for you before you leave home so that when
you arrive you have some time to consider
your long-term options.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTVictoria: Melbourne has plenty of transport
options to get you around town or across the
country. Australia’s public transport system is
comparably safe and aff ordable (in some
cases, it’s even free). Depending on where
you live it can include trains, buses and trams.
You can buy tickets at train stations, and at
news agencies or on board buses and trams.
For bus, train and tram timetables, maps and
fares go to www.//ptv.vic.gov.au.

opportunities for students to enjoy a range of
activities outside study. We have many
activities available including regular student
parties, fi lm screenings, and visits to the
Immigration museum. These events are a great
way to meet other students and make new
friends. Event calendars are made available on
enrolment.
ORIENTATION PROGRAMA free orientation program is conducted for all
new international students before classes
begin and is compulsory for all newly
commencing international students. The
program includes an introduction to the
College, its services and facilities as well as an
introduction to Australian culture, society and
life. Students are also introduced to the
academic culture and rules of the College that
are necessary for successful study. The
orientation program also involves social
activities, which will help you to meet other
students and familiarise yourself with the
campus and surrounds.
ACADEMIC OR PERSONAL SUPPORTWe at ATMC recognize that students might
need additional help with their studies and
therefore we assign mentors to our students.
The Student Mentoring Program is all about
students helping students. It connects
students who are undertaking their fi rst
semester of study at ATMC with other students
who are further along in their own studies. The
Student Mentoring Program is open to all
ATMC students, free of charge, whereby they
are able to work with high-performing, more
senior students, who act as their mentors.
These mentors, students with specialized
knowledge who have excelled academically,
are employed to assist students, either
individually or in small study groups.
You may also ask questions of the lecturer or
tutor in class. In some cases you will be asked
to make an appointment. The Academic
support off er, teaching and administrative staff
at ATMC are also available to provide general
advice and assistance with matters such as
studying and any other issues regarding
student administration.

JESSICA WAI YAN
My name is Jessica Cheng and I am studying a Bachelor of Information Technology in Business Systems at ATMC in Association with Federation University of Australia. There are many reasons why I chose to study in Australia. It is one of the top 3 most popular destinations for international students and Australia has a reputation of quality recognition and assurance. Its a multicultural society and the locals were so friendly to me, they made me feel like I was home. Besides that, when I browsed the web for courses I was amazed by how many courses that were available for international students to choose from. Then I decided I wanted to stay in Australia to study further so I would have a brighter future. Studying in Australia was the best decision I ever made, I have learned to be independent, responsible but most importantly I learned to adapt to a completely diff erent surrounding without relying on my family for support. It was diffi cult at fi rst when I started studying and working but soon aft er I managed to balance it out.

WHAT IS WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING?
Work integrated learning (WIL) is an umbrella term for a range of approaches and strategies that integrate theory with the practice of work within a purposefully designed curriculum.1 WIL is intended:
To improve the work-readiness of university graduates and create the opportunities for them to develop and apply their skills and knowledge for enhanced ability in the workplace;
To enable employers to better utilise the skills and capabilities of their workforce;
To enable a work environment in which entrepreneurship and innovation can flourish;
To strengthen the partnerships between academia and industry in the advancement of Australian
workforce development.2

How ATMC Helps
ATMC has set up an enterprise, which is wholly owned by the college. The enterprise designs real-life IT and IS projects for its final year students,
which are mapped to the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). The students work on digital projects in one or more of five areas of the
business: sales and marketing; project management; software development; software testing and systems administration. Through this
arrangement ATMC offers various opportunities to current students to help them gain experience of operating within a real business environment,
and develop the real life skills and experiences that are valued by employers.

WIL ProgramCURRENT PROJECTS/WORKSHOPS
The Power of AttractionOn Saturday 6th June, 20 students braved an early start on a cold
Melbourne morning to attend an internship preparation workshop
conducted by Colin Wilson, Director of KBA and a renowned career
coach.
The tone was set in the fi rst few minutes of the workshop “My job is to
make you street smart, to make you understand the job market and what
skills you need in order to succeed, to identify your power of attraction to
a prospective employer.
Focus, determination, passion and consistence in performance, these
were the attributes the workshop attendees identifi ed as pivotal to
succeeding within their internships and continuing career.
As students left the workshop, their high levels of enthusiasm for what
they had learned were obvious. One student stated, “I was expecting a
boring talk, but what we got was great advice on how to sell ourselves!”
ATMC held another three workshops.
“The goal of the ATMC Employer Engagement Training Program is to create the power of attraction in wanting internships to become employment opportunities!!”
– Colin Wilson,
KBA CEO and Career Coach
Innovative projects assure work ready ATMC FedUni GraduatesFollowing the exciting announcement in the inaugural ATMC WIL
newsletter of our purchase of a license for an end-to-end management
talent tool, we have begun to map ITECH projects to the Skills Framework
for the Information Age (SFIA), the appropriate AQF level and individual
student capabilities!
In order to begin our trail blazing initiative whereby FedUni ATMC
graduates can demonstrate their work readiness through the completion
of real life projects, I have been working with both onshore and off shore
IT companies to identify projects for those students who are nearing the
end of their undergraduate or postgraduate IT/IS studies.
Two-hour workshops were conducted at three ATMC FedUni campuses
to better prepare both undergraduate and postgraduate students in their
understanding of expectations for the provision of tender bids at the
beginning of the July semester for project allocation.
Prior to Semester 2 students were asked to self-identify their key IT and
business capabilities, which were then logged against a host of projects
mapped against the skill sets contained within the newest version of SFIA
(version 6), thus ensuring competitive advantage for these potential
graduates as they seek job opportunities post-graduation.
DIGITAL SKILLSDigital skills are essential for an ever increasing range of industries,
occupations and employers. There is a shortage of digital skills – the size
of the digital skills gap is unprecedented and it is growing. Employers are
looking for students who are productive, have evidence of transferable
skills and work based experience.
THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ARE ALSO UNCERTAIN ABOUT THEIR CHOICE OF COURSE AND HOW IT WILL HELP FUTURE EMPLOYMENT AND CAREER CHOICE On the other hand students (and their parents) can fi nd
the prospect of fi nding a job and choosing a career quite
frightening and intimidating. They ask questions like:
• What is work really like, how do I know I will like it?
• What if I invest in further education and can’t find a job or career I
like or I can be successful in?
• How do I make myself attractive to potential employers?
• What if I choose a career / first job and find out I don’t like it?
• Why do I have to learn all this theory and academic stuff –
what has it got to do with work / finding a job /
developing my career?
• Should I work for a large employer or a SME / micro business?
WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING PROVIDES A SOLUTION TO MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS Work integrated learning helps students:
• Become more attractive to employers
• Understand more about the career opportunities at
SMEs / microbusinesses
• Analyse and develop their personal skills, aptitudes and ambitions
• Develop a number of essential work based skills, which
would not be typically taught in a purely academic course
• Build up work or work-like experiences and learn
how to communicate this to employers
• Positively manage employer expectations to their worth
and competence and the benefits employers get from students
undertaking WIL
• Identify ways to get WIL from their part time work
experiences as well as work placement experiences
• International students adapt socially, culturally,
into their target employer / career
• Build their confidence and well as competence
