About
The Western Australian Government has launched a $300,000 International Education Familiarisation Program (Famil) to connect with key offshore international education partners. The program provides offshore partners the opportunity to experience Western Australia as an international student would.
The Famil Program aims to expand opportunities for the State and enhance WA's reputation as a study destination of choice.
Each famil will be focused on an identified market or region and involve bringing a small, targeted group of international education partners to the state to visit WA institutions, build connections and experience tourism attractions.
Provider engagement
The Expressions of Interest (EOI) invites WA education institutions and organisations, including schools, vocational educations, higher education pathways and universities, to apply via SmartyGrants.
EOIs for the Famil Program will open at 9:00am on Thursday 4 July 2024 and close at 7pm on Tuesday 23 July 2024.
As part of the EOI process, providers will be asked to comment on the following criteria:
- How their involvement will contribute to the objectives of the famil.
- The benefits to the provider, including any key outcomes.
- How their participation will contribute to driving outcomes for the international education sector in Western Australia more broadly.
- The type of activities proposed to be included in the famil schedule.
The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI) will assess the EOIs and select applicants who demonstrate their participation aligning to the famil’s objectives and benefits to the WA international education sector as a collective.
