Arriving
If family and friends are going to pick you up at the airport, be sure to give them the all your flight details with arrival date and times.
Airport pickup
If you do not have family or friends to pick you up from the airport, you can arrange airport pickup service through the International Students Centre. The airport pickup service costs A$140 (GST inclusive) and is charged with your tuition fees.
If you have requested airport pickup, you should notify the International Students Centre of your arrival details two weeks before you are due to arrive. A representative will meet you at the Arrivals Hall after you clear Customs. There is no need to worry if your flight is delayed as the representative will wait for you and take you directly to your host family.
We recommend that students use this service unless you are staying with relatives. Please don't leave the airport with family or friends who may surprise you by coming to the airport if you have booked an airport pickup service.

- Taxis to Sydney city centre will cost about A$25-A$40
- The AirportLink rail service runs from Sydney Airport to the city centre every 10 minutes. The fare from the Airport to Central Station is A$14.80. You can then catch trains or buses to Sydney metropolitan areas or NSW regional centres.
