Overview

Vibrant and breathtaking, Cairns is a tropical oasis situated in Far North Queensland. Featuring incredible landmarks – including the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest – this is a one-of-a-kind Australian city. With an affordable cost of living, great employment options and high-quality education providers, Cairns has so much to offer international students.

With its vines and canopies having grown for over 180 million years, the Daintree Rainforest in Cairns is Australia’s most ancient rainforest.
Cairns is widely known as Australia’s gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
Hospitality, retail and tourism are some of Cairns’ strongest sectors, meaning you’ll have plenty of casual job opportunities whilst you’re studying, as well as long-term career options.
