Coming to Bendigo

Airport Reception

The International Office (IO) can arrange for you to be met on your arrival at Melbourne Airport and taken to your accommodation at Bendigo. To make use of this free service, complete the Airport Reception Advice Form (PDF 17kb) and forward it to the IO as soon as possible. Please note that should you change your flight details without notifying the IO, or fail to use the service once you have requested airport reception, you will be charged for the costs incurred ($130).

If you choose to make use of the Airport Reception service, you will be met at Melbourne (Tullamarine) Airport by a university representative. Look for the driver holding the La Trobe University, Bendigo , sign when you arrive:

If you are arriving on a domestic flight, go down the escalator to the baggage carousels and collect your luggage. The driver will be waiting for you at the baggage carousels.

If you are arriving on an international flight, after you exit Customs, continue straight through to the Arrivals Hall. The driver will be waiting for you in front of the Tourist Information Service (TIS). If you cannot find the driver holding the La Trobe University, Bendigo sign just ask the staff at the TIS for assistance, or contact an International Office staff on the office phone or mobile number (see below).

Regardless of the time of day or night you arrive, if you inform the International Office of your flight details, you will be met by our representative and taken to your accommodation.

If you do not wish to use this Airport Reception service, you can reach La Trobe University, Bendigo from the airport by using the Bendigo-Melbourne Airport Service. This bus departs the airport three times a day at 8.30am, 1.30pm and 6.00pm and is situated on the roadway between the immediate terminal road and the multi-story car park directly outside the international arrivals terminal. In 2007 the fare to Bendigo is $35 per student.

Please notify the International Office if your arrival details are altered.
