Your student life, all together. What's On! helps international students and newcomers discover places and events, plan their week, and settle into life in Australia. You can start exploring public content before creating an account. EXPLORE YOUR CITY Find events, places, suburb context and practical guides. Save public events and places on your device. Booking and RSVPing remain separate from saving an event to your calendar. KEEP YOUR WEEK TOGETHER My Day and My Week show the commitments you choose: events, plans, appointments and imported calendar entries. Connect a read-only iCal feed or import an .ics file after signing in. Remove a calendar source without changing its original feed or file. SETTLE IN WITH PRACTICAL TOOLS Work through a checklist at your own pace, organise rental and household tasks, and find local support. Some collaborative, private and synchronised features require a verified account. MAKE IT YOURS Claim a free What's On! membership with a verified email and choose the finish of your in-app card. Save your membership to Apple Wallet on a compatible iPhone. Academic details are self-reported, not university-verified student identification or proof of age. Participating partner stores may offer student discounts, special offers and exclusive pricing, subject to their terms and any student-status checks. Offers may change without notice; the store owner makes the final decision on eligibility and redemption. What's On! provides general information and planning tools, not legal advice. Public event details can change; confirm timing, availability and booking terms with the organiser. Feature availability may vary by location. Apple Watch companion: browse a small selection of Events, Offers, Rentals and Marketplace items. Events focus on today in the city saved in What’s On! on iPhone, with Sydney as the clearly labelled default. Tap an item to see its title and a photo when available, then continue to that item on iPhone. Saved selections and synced photos remain available offline with freshness information. Requires a paired iPhone; background updates depend on system scheduling.
