New students and arrivals
Hello and welcome to Wentworth Graduate College!
Whether you’re joining us as a resident or living off campus, our College Team will do our best to make you feel at home.
Before you arrive
If you’re wanting to plan ahead, you might want to familiarise yourself with these useful online resources:
- Take a look at our welcome pages for new postgraduates

- Whether you are moving into catered or self-catered accommodation, you'll need to think about food for your first evening. Depending on when you arrive, our on-campus outlets may be closed, and if you are moving into catered accommodation, please be aware your meals will only be available on weekdays during the semester.
When you're here
