ISIC Card

When travelling overseas ISIC is the only card you need! These cards are serious money savers, both whilst travelling and whilst hanging out locally. Save on transport, accommodation, communications, food, shopping, movies and more! It’s no wonder that over 4.5 million students worldwide choose ISIC as their student card of choice - check out www.isiccard.com.au for the complete low down on discounts.

MasterCard multi-currency Cash Passport card

All students are provided with a MasterCard multi-currency Cash Passport card. The card offers a secure and convenient way to manage your money when overseas with us.

• Security – Cash Passport is a PIN protected card, which has no embossing on the card. Therefore, if the card is lost or stolen, the card can only be used if the PIN has been disclosed.
• Convenience – Local cash can be accessed from over 750,000 ATMs around the globe.
• Reloadable – Cash Passport can be reloaded time and time again through B-Pay. Family members can then top up the card via their telephone and internet banking.
• No credit history – As Cash Passport is a prepaid card, there is no requirement for any credit history for the card.
• Budget – There is no credit facility attached with the card, so there is no chance of overspending.
• Refundability – Like travellers cheques, Cash Passport is backed by a 24/7 call center that can replace lost / stolen cards, normally within 24 hours.

Price Guarantee

Take the risk out of the equation. We guarantee that once you have submitted your application and paid your $500 deposit the published price is protected from increase. That means no nasty surprises in the event of currency fluctuations or increases in airfares.

Fuel Surcharge

Due to recently announced fuel surcharges by major airlines including Qantas and British Airways, we regret that a $150 fuel surcharge will apply to all applications received after today’s date. We reserve the right to increase the fuel surcharge if, at the time of making flight bookings, airlines are charging a higher amount. If no surcharge or a lesser amount is being levied by airlines at that time we will pass on any saving to applicants.
