The City of Melbourne
Melbourne, Australia
There is much to love about Melbourne. Just ask the locals. This sophisticated world city in the south-east corner of mainland
Australia inspires a deep passion in those lucky enough to live here. They love its vibrant energy, staggering choice of
restaurants, funky boutiques, cafe - filled laneways, cool bars, unbeatable galleries, luscious parks and village-like inner suburbs,
each with its own special character.
Melbourne, a relatively modern city which is less than 200 years old, never sits still. New futuristic designs add to the fascinating
mix of architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing. Melbourne is very much about lifestyle. It is no huge surprise to
residents that their city has been named in an international poll as the world's most liveable city.
Melburnians embrace three things in particular:
1. Sport (Cricket, Australian Rules Football and Soccer);
2. Fashion (the look is chic with a dash of quirky); and
3. Festivals (the calendar is packed year round).
Sometimes, the best part of visiting a new city is when you unexpectedly depart from the tourist trail and glimpse the citys 'real'
side. While the big attractions can be great fun, often it's the more subtle "insider" experiences that leave you feeling really
satisfied.
Hospitality Training Australia was established as the education division of
Restaurant & Catering Association of Victoria in 1999 and today
continues a strong association as their Training Partner, across the State

Full Time Study
Australian law requires International
students to study at a full time study load.
The only reason why you may undertake
a reduced study load is because you
need to undertake a part-time
enrolment to complete a course of study
where you need to repeat one or more
failed units for the first time.
International students are not entitled to
undertake a reduced study load
because of credit transfer, exemptions or
to repeat failed units more than once.
Students in this situation will be guided by
their course coordinator on what
alternative subjects may be available or
which subjects they can undertake from
later years to ensure they have a 100%
full time study load.

Multiculturalism
More than 100 ethnic groups are represented in Australia, making Australia one of
the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Australia’s dynamic
multiculturalism can be attributed to its unique combination of Indigenous cultures,
early European settlement and immigration from all parts of the world.
Australians value the wealth of cultural diversity and social sophistication that
international students bring to our campuses and our communities. We take great
care in looking after international students and helping them to adjust to the
Australian way of life. International students also gain great benefits from their
education in Australia and make lifelong friendships.
Religion
Australia is predominantly a Christian country however; all religions are represented
in our multicultural society. Australians respect the freedom of people to practice
their choice of religion. Churches, mosques, temples and synagogues are located
in most major cities. Some universities have their own spiritual groups on campus.
Language
English as it is spoken in Australia is very easily understood by nearly all people from
other English-speaking nations. While there are some minor differences in accent
between the cities and country areas the difference is much less than you will find
in America, Britain and Canada where French is also spoken. As you improve your
English in Australia you will learn some of our slang, and have much fun explaining
the meanings to your friends and relatives at home.

Health care
Australia has a very good health care system. All Australians pay a Medicare levy
(additional tax) to fund the public health system and ensure everyone gets access
to public system doctors, hospitals and other health care services. People who pay
extra into a private health insurance fund receive certain privileges when they use
private health care services. As well as the usual services available in just about
any Australian suburb or town, most Australian institutions also provide special
health care services and advice for students.
International students studying in Australia are required to have Overseas Student
Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their student visa. See the information on
overseas student health cover on page 19 of this prospectus.
Food
Australia has a fantastic variety of food. Our top quality meat, fish, fruits and
vegetables are exported to markets all around the globe. There is a large range of
fruit and vegetables available at Australian produce markets. You should have no
difficulty in finding the foods that you are used to at home.
You can sample almost every type of cuisine available throughout the world in our
many restaurants. There are elegant restaurants or typical Aussie pubs. Ethnic
restaurants offer cuisines from all around the world. Good food at reasonable
prices can be found at bistros or cafes. And for those who like takeaway, most of
the major global fast food chains are well represented. The adventurous can try
some of our ‘bush tucker’.
Visitors
Students from all over the world come to Australia to take advantage of our worldclass education and enjoy our friendly hospitality and cultural diversity. Australia
has low crime rates and strict gun control laws providing a safe environment in
which to learn and travel. With one of the highest standards of living in the world,
Australia offers modern transport systems, convenient telecommunications,
cosmopolitan shopping complexes and excellent health services.
Visitors from many parts of the world are attracted by Australia’s spectacular
natural environment and the distinctive personality and friendliness of the
Australian people. Australia is rich in the arts and is keen to preserve and display its
diverse cultural heritage.
Australians are also environmentally conscious and keen to preserve the country’s
natural beauty and scenery. Our Clean Up Australia campaign is being adopted
worldwide.
Transport
With one of the highest standards of living in the world, Australia offers modern
transport systems. Australia has an extensive public transport system that includes
trains, buses, tramways, ferries, two major national airlines and a number of
regional airlines. Metropolitan areas are divided into zones and your ticket type
and cost depends on which zone you are going to travel in and for how long.
Tickets can be bought at train stations, on buses and trams and at news agencies.
Tourist students may drive in Australia on a valid overseas drivers licence but if the
document is not in the English language the visitor must carry a translation with the
permit. An international driving licence is not sufficient by itself.
Metered taxicabs operate in all major cities and towns. You will find taxi ranks at
transport terminals, main hotels or shopping centres or you can hail taxis in the
street. A light and sign on the roof indicates if a cab is vacant. There is a minimum
charge on hiring and then a charge per kilometers traveled. Taxi drivers do not
have to be tipped.
Sports and recreation
Australians are very keen on sport and outdoor activities and have gained a
worldwide reputation, both as individuals and as teams. Hosting the 2000 Olympic
Games in Sydney, the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, the Australian
Open Tennis Championship and the Grand Prix Motor Race highlights Australia as a
leading destination for international events.
Australia has more than 120 national sporting organisations and thousands of state,
regional and club bodies. It is estimated that 6.5 million people, about a third of
the population, are registered sports participants. While there are over 120 sporting
organisations, Australians also take part in bushwalking, fishing, boating and water
sports.
Entertainment
Campuses offer spacious surroundings suitable for social, sporting and other
outdoor activities. They are also centrally located for students to experience the
sophistication of our cities and excitement of our entertainment facilities. There are
plenty of opportunities for international students to have an enjoyable time with
friends.
Travel
During semester breaks, you may like to venture beyond the capital cities to
experience more of Australia’s spectacular natural environment and great
physical beauty—national parks, The Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu, Uluru and the
Tasmanian Wilderness.

Overseas Student Health Cover
International students are required by the Government to join a private health insurance scheme. The OSHC premium cover
must be paid before a student visa is issued. Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover on the
costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. OSHC will also pay for most
prescription drugs and emergency ambulance transport.
If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered
health benefits organisation – commonly referred to as health funds before applying for your visa. You will need to buy
OSHC before you come to Australia, to cover you from when you arrive. You will also need to maintain OSHC throughout
your stay in Australia.
The annual subscription for the OSHC as administered by Medibank Private for a single international student is A$348 and for
a student and family (spouse and dependent children under 18 years of age if they are living with you) is A$696 (as of June
2006). You should check for any changes on the Medibank website. Medibank also provides a 'whole of visa' cover that
insures you, and your family if they are living with you, for more than 12 months.
You can find out more about purchasing OSHC at www.health.gov.au or visit
Medibank at www.medibank.com.au/productandservices/overseas/students/intro.asp
Payment of Tuition Fees
Courses are offered to international students in yearly block. Fees are not determined on a single subject basis but for places
in entire courses. For future stages of your course, Hospitality Training Australia reserves the right to adjust annual tuition fees
to take into account increases in course delivery costs. Hospitality Training Australia undertakes to keep any adjustment
factor to a minimum. Students who pay the total annual fees in advance are quarantined against fee increases.

Repeat Subjects
Tuition fees must be paid for repeat subjects or components of repeat
