Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is a not-for-profit organisation that is registered with all state and territory Departments of Education around Australia and with the Ministry of Education in New Zealand. We are the first and only secondary exchange organisation in the world to be certified to ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and we ensure the highest standards of care and support to our participants.
We have long established relationships with our international partners to ensure the highest standards of care and support to our participants. We maintain a network of volunteer community coordinators who work in support of students and families during the exchange experience.
Our mission is to offer the unique experience of living and studying in another culture and to enable young people to develop the skills and awareness that will enhance their future potential. Students can choose to live overseas for anything between 2 - 12 months to over 25 destinations.
We offer a wide range of scholarships and discounts to enable students to participate who might not otherwise get the chance.
In addition to delivering an extensive range of Inbound and Outbound exchange programs to high school students, including short, semester and year programs as well as the 2WayExchange Experience, we also off Work and Travel Programs to the USA for eligible students and recent graduates from University or a Technical Education Provider.
All of our staff have either been exchange students themselves, have lived overseas, hosted a student, speak other languages or have travelled extensively. They understand the challenges faced by students, families and volunteers. This experience assures our participants the very highest levels of service and support.
