Japanese quake and tsunami

On behalf of Swinburne International, I would like to express our deepest sympathies, concern for and awareness of the plight of the families, friends and countrymen of our Japanese students.

We would like to remind students of the many support systems and advice that may be of value to you at this time if you are affected in any way.

Please see the links below.

If you are concerned or have not been able to contact family or friends in Japan, you can REGISTER your details now with Swinburne International and an International Student Adviser can prioritise other student needs and contact you for a meeting to assist.
