On Thursday, 10 June 2021, the NSW government announced that starting mid-year, 250 international students will be allowed to return to school every fortnight under a pilot program that will begin in the second half of this year. 

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said in a statement, ‘The students will be required to quarantine on arrival and the quarantine will be  purpose-built student accommodation following the same rules for all international arrivals.’ He added, “Typically we have more than 250,000 international students studying in NSW each year and they directly supported over 95,000 local jobs prior to the pandemic”.

The state government stated that the universities would select foreign students based on ‘multiple criteria’ and their personal circumstances, with priority given to higher degree students.

The plan will be paid for by the industry, while the state government will provide governance and operational support. Council of International Students spokesperson Belle Lim said there was hope things would return to normal again. “We are pleased to see the cautious approach but are hopeful the numbers of students arriving will scale over time,” she said.

The plan will go to the federal government for review. Federal Education Minister Alan Tudge said the plan “appears to meet the criteria we have set, but we will work through the details carefully”.

 This news has provided some glimmer of hope to more than 47,000 international students outside of Australia who cannot travel to complete their studies. Whether or not the Federal government will approve the plan, time will only tell.

Adapting to change can be a difficult thing — especially if it’s in the context of changing your environment. You might feel anxious and have difficulties coping from being away from what you find familiar, be it your family, friends, or everything else you know.

However, you’ll get to learn so much about yourself by going through the process of moving. Being mindful about your experience can help you learn how to develop an accepting, non-judgmental and kind attitude towards any negative or positive thoughts and feelings you might have about your move.

That said, here are a few ways you can practice mindfulness as you adjust to your new living environment:

Declutter

Declutter for mindfulnessNeurologist Hannah McLane notes how decluttering can help with mindfulness, as it can help you stop worrying about problems in your home and focus on your work. Additionally, by reducing the number of your possessions, you’ll get to create more breathing room and evaluate what’s really important to you. Getting rid of unnecessary belongings can help you stay focused in the present, which is after all, what mindfulness is all about. Donate or throw away items you haven’t used in months, and try to stick to only the bare minimum. Your mindfulness practice will help you get rid of your “I-might-need-this” mentality, which can extend towards the feelings you may have about your move.

Set goals

Set goals for mindfulness

You’re bound to have some time to yourself after your move to unpack items and get used to your space. Daydreaming in Paradise recommends setting goals, as you can avoid letting days melt into one long, unbroken stretch. Set personal and professional goals, and ask yourself where you want to see yourself in your new place in six months to one year. Do you want to make new friends? Visit multiple places in and around the city? This way, you’ll get to make the most of your time adjusting to your new living environment and be mindful of your time.

Stay in the present moment

Stay in present moment for mindfulness

You’ll need to start practising the art of staying in the present moment to truly accept your new living environment. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings and watch them come and go. Acknowledge how you’re feeling and what you’re thinking, but don’t let it get in the way of what you need to do. With practice, you’ll get to focus more on the positives in front of you rather than the negatives that may stray in the back of your mind.

Get rid of bad habits

Get rid of bad habits

Getting rid of negative habits is a challenge, but it’s one that mindfulness can tackle. Understanding what your triggers are can help you change them — so long as you make these changes step-by-step. After all, forming good habits can take time, and breaking bad ones will take even longer. Write down and keep track of bad habits you want to get rid of, and try to tackle the easiest ones first. Then, once completed, you can move on to the next one on your list.

Meditate

Meditate

Meditation helps a lot with mindfulness. Our writer Lenard Sciancalepore suggests that meditation can be super helpful for your brain, as you can take a few moments to breathe, centre yourself, and be present in your body. You’ll get to tackle intrusive thoughts and negative feelings that occur as you adjust. Fortunately, there are plenty of apps you can use online, House of Wellness recommends apps such as Smiling Mind, Headspace, and Aura to help you get started on your meditative journey.

Australia is one of the prominent locations for international students as well as for individuals looking to settle down. Australia has two places, namely Melbourne and Sydney, in the top 3 of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s global liveability index. Melbourne is ranked second in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2019 Global Liveability Index, missing out on the top spot by just 0.7%, a place which Melbourne held for eight consecutive years. The title itself primarily comes down to personal preferences, with multiple sources selecting different locations. However, the stable society with low crime rates, excellent healthcare system, access to quality education, higher employability rate and world-class infrastructures make Melbourne a magnificent city to live and work in. My name is Sumin, and I came to Australia as an international student. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Melbourne and here are some of my reasons to “Why Melbourne? “

Cultural Diversity

Melbourne is the capital of the State of Victoria and is known for its cultural diversity. It is home to more than five million people with varied cultures belonging to different parts of the world. The official language spoken in Melbourne is English, but more than 100 languages are spoken here (Australian Bureau of Statistics). Melbourne’s cultural diversity becomes evident with so many cultural celebrations throughout the year. The Moomba Festival, the Momo Festival, the Indian Festival, Melbourne Italian Festa, Chinese New Year and the Melbourne Fringe Festival, are just some of the options on offer. However, there is so much going on each day in Melbourne that you have to learn to choose. Be sure to check out Eventbrite for details regarding each event happening around you.

Green and Vibrant

Melbourne is one of the most cosmopolitan and multicultural cities in the world (Global Destination Sustainability Index). It is known for its arts, food and wine, diverse sporting and leisure opportunities as well as for shopping. Melbourne has a lively city in the centre with an abundance of parks and gardens, age-old trees, and lawns to enhance physical wellbeing. You can wander the tree-lined pathways through the Treasury and Fitzroy Gardens, the sculptured terraces of Birrarung Marr, or the famous Royal Botanic Gardens.

Melbourne has embraced street art evident by the cobblestone laneways plastered with graffiti and stencil art. The winding alleyways are magical, which will probably make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a comic book. The vibrant laneway with ever-changing street art murals is packed with busy shopping arcades, wandering performers, live music and some hidden bars, cafes and boutiques. If you happen to walk into one of such bars, it will take you a trip down memory lane with old school games and arcade games. The famous ACDC lane has embraced the graffiti culture and is host to the Cherry Bar which claims to be the nation’s rock ‘n’ roll capital. If you are the lover of art, then take a walk down the Hosier Lane, Duckboard Lane, ACDC Lane and Tattersalls Lane. I would also recommend walking down the Southbank Promenade, which is vibrant during the summer. It is a crime to forget your camera during your visits.

The Famous Melbourne Weather

Melbourne has all four kinds of weather, and if you are lucky enough, you could experience all of them in just a day. People often mock Melbourne for being the only place where you need to carry your sunglasses, shorts, a jacket and an umbrella at the same time.

Accommodation

There are three options available: campus accommodation, student accommodation and share-house accommodation. Campus Accommodation is the most expensive option with the average cost of living on campus at a university in the Melbourne area ranging between $665 – $825 per week. Living on campus means you save on travel time, utilities and food costs. However, you will still need to budget for eating out, health costs, your phone bill and entertainment. Commercial Student Accommodation such as Scape, Iglu, UniLodge, Urbanest, Journal, The Student Housing Company and Atira are great options if you want to stay with other students somewhere near to the university. The cost will vary depending on the company and your room choice; however, it is essential to remember this only includes your rent and utilities. Food, entertainment, eating out, phone and health costs will all need to be factored in. The average price of accommodation ranges between $275 – $325 per week.

Transportation

Trams, trains and cars are popular transport choices in Melbourne. Myki is Melbourne’s version of a mass transit pass and with the expense of about $9.00 per day you can travel pretty much everywhere the trains and trams can take you. Trains run from Flinders Street Station in the city to outer suburbs. There are five stations in the central business district: Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central, Parliament and Flinders Street. Southern Cross Station is Melbourne’s hub for regional and interstate trains. Melbourne’s airport is also easily accessible and close to the city centre with just 20-35 minutes drive. Skybus operates between the city (Southern Cross Station) and Tullamarine airport (a 20 minutes drive costing about $19)and leaves every 10 minutes. Trams are an iconic part of Melbourne’s identity but can be slow. The historic City Circle Tram runs along with the system’s Route 35, taking passengers to major attractions, shops, and city events for free.

Work

The Australian economy is dominated by the services sector with recent growth recorded in construction, healthcare, education, engineering, mining and energy industries. Currently, the country is experiencing a skills shortage in finance, construction, education, engineering and healthcare. If you are migrating for work, then these are the fields that you can potentially look into. If you are a backpacker or a student, then work is relatively easy to find in Melbourne. The major employment providers in Melbourne for international students are the hospitality and the retail industry. The hospitality industry is social and flexible and a great place to practice and work on your English skills through interaction with customers and colleagues.

Food and Drinks

Melbourne is a culinary hotspot offering a variety of cuisines from around the world. You can find everything from traditional fish and chips joints to big-name chefs. Melbourne also has a thriving bar and coffee scene; the bars and cafes can be found upstairs, downstairs, in the basements, around corners and sometimes even hidden. An average cup of coffee in Melbourne is $4 per cup while a glass of wine, beer or cider ranges between $10-$12 each, with spirits and cocktails being more expensive costing around $12-$25.

Education and Health Care

Education is one of many reasons Melbourne is consistently rated as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Melbourne boasts of some of the best schools and universities in the world and is ranked the world’s 3rd Best University-City. Melbourne University and Monash University are among the world’s top 100 universities. International students are protected by the Tuition Protection Service (TPS) under Australian Government legislation, and educational institutions are required to abide by the ESOS Act ensuring access to quality education and financial securities.

Overseas student health cover is mandatory for student visa holders when coming to Australia. Not only is it great for peace of mind, but it also covers doctors’ appointments, hospital costs, emergency ambulance and prescription medicine. Before visiting a doctor (General Practitioner or GP) make sure that the doctors are affiliated with your health cover provider to reduce or eliminate any payment that you would normally need to make on the day of your appointment. You can do this by checking the list of affiliated health centres with your provider through their website. If you are not on a student visa, it is still highly recommended that you have health insurance coverage because health services are expensive in Australia.

Overall, I believe, Melbourne is neither too crowded nor as silent as the countryside. It is an excellent blend of either. The prospect for enhancing your career in the field of study upon completion of your studies is greater in Melbourne than other cities. I would never trade Melbourne over other cities in Australia to settle down.
