How to Make Friends in a New City: An Australian Guide
About
Relocating to a new city in Australia brings a mix of excitement, optimism, and—if we’re honest—a touch of loneliness. Whether you’ve moved for work, study, family, or simply a fresh start, building connections in an unfamiliar place can sometimes feel even harder than the move itself.Join us at The Couch for an open, relaxed conversation about making friends, engaging with Australians, and finding meaningful ways to connect with others here in Melbourne.
On the program
• You Can’t Ask That Panel – Four Aussies answering the questions international students really want to ask (with a curated list prepared by the organisers)
• Activities – Australian slang, games, and a bit of classic Aussie music (Nutbush warning included)
• Australian Dinner – Sausage and mash, shepherd’s pie, roast, BBQ favourites
• Aussie Snacks – Meat pies, sausage rolls, Vegemite scrolls, fairy bread, Chiko rolls
