Good News for international Student

A small group of international students is now back in Australia, following the success of the first pilot programme organising their return to Australia since the country shut its borders on March 20. The charter flight landed in Darwin this morning, carrying 63 international students from China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Japan and Indonesia.

The students are set to follow this process: transfer from airport to Howard Springs quarantine facility, undergo 14 days of quarantine, move to a range of central locations. During the quarantine, students can expect to have access to 24-hour counselling, receive care packages from CDU staff, in addition to daily phone calls from staff to ensure students are supported during their quarantine. “They will be studying at our Casuarina, Waterfront, Palmerston and Alice Springs campuses and are very excited to come to the Northern Territory to study,” Professor Maddocks said. There will be an event to welcome them on Casuarina campus post-quarantine.
