read moreThe Northern Territory’s International Student Wellbeing Grants for 2022-23 were announced today which aim to ensure the staging of 18 events and activities for students from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Funded programs include activities to support employment in the hospitality industry, network engineering students with local industry representatives, raise mental health awareness, provide a cultural immersion and settlement program and deliver a variety of sports and cultural events.
Grants of up to $10,000 have been made to businesses, professional and community groups.
The $150,000 program will equip participants with tools and strategies to engage with other students and with the broader Territory community.
NT Minister for International Education, Ngaree Ah Kit notes “Student wellbeing is vital for growth in the international education and training sector and students sharing positive experiences of their life in the Territory helps attract more students here.
“These grants therefore represent a small investment in promoting the Northern Territory as a premium study destination.
“The initiatives being funded will help international students to connect and engage with other students, peers, businesses and Territorians.
“They will help enrich student life outside the classroom by providing skills, strategies and events that support wellbeing and celebrate diversity.”
As well as contributing to their wellbeing, support from the Territory government helps to nurture valuable employment skills and seeks to deepen student networks.
Supporting the wellbeing of international students enriches their lives and enhances the Northern Territory’s reputation as a destination for people seeking a quality education in Australia.

This grants round was significantly oversubscribed, highlighting the high standard of successful applicants.
International education is the Territory’s third biggest services export, contributing more than $172 million into the local economy.
The Northern Territory International Education and Training Strategy seeks to increase this to $332 million by 2025.
As at March 2022, nearly 3000 international students from more than 70 different nationalities are enrolled to study with local education and training providers, adding to the Territory’s reputation as a multicultural and welcoming community.
Over the past four years the International Student Wellbeing Grants have helped present more than 90 events with the previous funding round supporting the upcoming Kindness Festival on Saturday, 25 June 2022 at the Darwin Waterfront.
