As part of your CIS program, you will take part in the 6-day Great Barrier Reef Culture and Adventure Program in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. You will arrive in Cairns and participate in this exciting six-day orientation program. The Culture and Adventure Program includes sessions focused on providing you with information relating to the country and culture in which you will be living as well as the opportunity to explore some specific aspects of Australia through excursions and a service learning day where you'll volunteer in the local community.

Our unique Culture and Adventure Program will offer you the opportunity to not only meet other students going to the same university, but it will also prepare you for the cultural changes that you may encounter and give you a chance to experience the Great Barrier Reef up close. Our aim is to provide you with a sound introduction to Australia while enjoying some of Australia’s main attractions.

Once at Swinburne you will have the support of the International Office, which arranges an airport reception and on-campus orientation program for you, assists you with any needs you have, and provides on-going advising during your stay.
