Airport Transport

Transport from the airport to Sydney and suburbs

Sydney airport is located 8km from central Sydney.

1. Airport reception service

  • TAFE NSW can arrange for a representative to meet you at the airport when you arrive and take you to your accommodation.
  • If you wish to book this service, you should tick the 'airport reception' box on the TAFE NSW application form. We will send you a service request form so you can tell us your arrival date, time, airline and flight number.
  • There is a fee of A$140 (GST inclusive) for airport reception service that is charged at the same time as your tuition fees.

2. Taxi or train

  • Taxis to the 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

If you get lost you can telephone the International Students Centre during office hours Monday - Friday, 8:30am to 6:00pm on 1300 302 456 (freecall). You could also take a taxi from the airport to the ISC office (weekdays only).

Transport to other cities in New South Wales

  • If you will be studying at a coastal or inland TAFE NSW campus, you may need to travel from Sydney to that location on another flight, or by train or bus.
  • You may be able to arrange a connecting flight. Otherwise your International Student Coordinator at your TAFE college will advise you which train or bus to catch to your college.
  • If you need to stay overnight in Sydney, your International Student Coordinator at your TAFE college can help you book temporary accommodation in Sydney.
  • Most trains or buses to Sydney metropolitan areas or other NSW city centres leave from Sydney Central railway station.
