This week IDP Education, a global leader in international education services, is celebrating the opening of a welcoming space to support international students based in Parramatta, New South Wales.  

The new office, located at Marsden Street, offers free course advice, IELTS preparation, essential services and social activities, and aligns with the Australian international education sector’s strong recovery following COVID-19 travel restrictions.  

Jane Li, Area Director – Australasia & Japan, IDP, said the new centre is aimed at helping more students reach their full potential when they arrive in Australia.  

“Parramatta is an increasingly popular city for international students, and we have been encouraged to see a strong rebound in students pursuing an Australian education,” Ms Li said.   

“By creating a comfortable space where students can access free advice to support their study and career goals, as well as connect with their peers, our centre will help them feel welcomed as part of our community. 

“IDP is committed to providing ongoing support to students onshore so they can thrive in their studies.”  

Ms Li said the new centre also provides an opportunity for Australian higher education institutions to connect directly with students. 

“The pandemic showed us that more can be done to help international students navigate life outside the classroom,” Ms Li said.  

“This office is a safe space where university representatives and service providers can work hand-in-hand with IDP’s trusted counsellors to ensure students understand their options and have a place they can turn to if in need,” she said.    

IDP’s new Parramatta office will be officially opened by Peggy Medeiros, Associate Director of Sales and Operations (ANZ), IDP, on 23 March 2023.  

Students are invited to visit and seek support from 10am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday.
