StudyAdelaide is a South Australian government destination marketing and student support agency, working with over 50 education partners.  

Famil is short for familiarisation tour and gives participants the opportunity to experience first-hand the education and lifestyle opportunities the destination has to offer students. 

Return flights from your home country to Adelaide, accommodation, most meals including a welcome and farewell event, all transport requirements and amazing education and tourism experiences.   

Travel expenses such as travel insurance, visa fees, passport renewal costs, transport outside official program and incidental expenses are not included. 

Thursday 13 March to Friday 21 March 2025  

StudyAdelaide will manage, book, and pay for your flight bookings via our selected travel agent. Flights will be return flights from your home country to Adelaide only.

To ensure all participants arrive in Adelaide to start the program on time, there is no flexibility on your arrival into Adelaide. You cannot visit other cities prior to the famil start.  

If you wish to visit other cities post famil, please commence discussions with us as early as possible to avoid costly changes to flight itineraries. Please also note that visiting other cities post famil will mean that you forfeit your StudyAdelaide funded return flight, and the replacement return flight will be at your own expense.  

Your visa support letter from StudyAdelaide will only cover the dates of travel that you will be in Adelaide. 

It is strongly recommended that you have travel insurance, which is your responsibility to arrange. 

No. 

You will need to apply for your own tourist visa, however, StudyAdelaide will provide a letter in support of your visa application. We also ask that you apply for your visa application as soon as possible.
