For Schools & Agents – Australian International Student Tours

AIST For Schools & Agents

AIST is an international education consultancy and boutique study tour provider with 15 plus years of international marketing and networking experience. We have developed collaborations with a large number of high quality education providers.

We work with a host of specially selected Independent and private schools to assist them to promote their international programs and welcome individuals and groups from overseas onto their campuses.

What Sets Us Apart

Our partner institutions offer the highest quality teaching staff, facilities and resources. Each school is selected to provide the best understanding of the various needs of the individuals who come here to study. We are constantly developing new partnerships with schools in order to add to the diversity and quality of the programs we offer.

Our CEO and staff are all experienced education professionals who hold current blue cards. All of our tours and appointments adhere strictly to Australian and Queensland State guidelines regarding international students within the private schools and government schools’ sectors.

Why Australia?

Australia has everything to offer international student groups. A beautiful country with a rich diversity of climates and terrains, from mountains to coasts, deserts to rainforests to explore – and superb Independent schools in which to study. AIST’s role over the past 15 years has been to work with top class educational establishments and certified homestay providers in Australia to provide exceptional Study Tour Programs uniquely tailored to the needs of visiting student bodies.

AIST is located on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Most of our tours are based in South East Queensland and the Fraser Coast, but we also have client schools in beautiful Tasmania and other Australian states.

Whether you want to study the English language, explore our abundant marine wildlife or foster team-building skills in the great outdoors, our experience and expertise will ensure that incoming students are given a welcome as warm as our climate and hospitality as rich and expansive as our unique national flora and fauna.

Hear from our partners

” We can't speak highly enough of the team at AIST. From the beginning of the trip until the end, their expertise, experience, and suggestions helped to form an incredible experience for our students and teachers. Throughout the trip their team members that accompanied us were helpful, positive, and professional. The highlight was the week-long marine biology camp that gave students a unique understanding and experience of Australian marine wildlife. We look forward to working with AIST again in the future.”

"Working with Tanya and her team at AIST has been an incredible experience for us. We've had the pleasure of hosting students from many schools in Japan and Italy, and we’re consistently impressed by AIST's dedication to providing these students with the opportunity to experience Australia's rich culture, quality education, and hospitality. Their commitment to respect, kindness, and fostering cross-cultural communication aligns perfectly with our own values. AIST’s approach ensures that students not only grow personally but also contribute to building a stronger, global community. We are excited to continue our partnership and highly recommend AIST to anyone looking to create unforgettable educational and cultural journeys in Australia!"
