The Study Melbourne Latin America team participated in the Vente Australia Expo Tour 2025 across Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, joining over 30 Australian institutions, including seven from Victoria — the University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT University, Swinburne University of Technology, Deakin University, the Australian Catholic University (ACU), and Torrens University.

The Expo attracted more than 1,400 prospective students interested in Australia’s higher education and pathway programs.

Building on this strong presence, the team also participated in the Australia Open Day in São Paulo, Brazil, which attracted a select group of high-achieving students exploring study opportunities in Australia.

In addition to these student-facing events, Study Melbourne delivered a comprehensive engagement program across all four locations in collaboration with Austrade, Study Queensland, and Study Perth, with the support of the Australian Ambassadors in each country.

Activities included meetings with education agents, scholarship bodies, local universities, and international high schools, strengthening institutional partnerships and reinforcing Victoria’s position as a leading education destination in Latin America.
