A new networking website has been launched for Indian alumni and students in Australia -- www.MyOzNetwork.com.
This is another initiative supported by the Australian government to enhance the experience of international students in Australia.
MyOzNetwork.com is designed to provide past, present and future Indian students in Australia with their own networking portal online, the Australian High Commission said in New Delhi in a media release.
Features of the website include individual member pages, blogs, discussion forums and the capacity to share videos, photos, news and events.
Speaking at the launch of the website on February 17, Australia's High Commissioner to India, Peter Varghese, said: "A feature of modern education is the long-lasting networks it creates between students. Those studying overseas should seize the opportunity to build a global network of friends and acquaintances."
"We want this website to assist students in getting the information they need to have a productive and happy time in Australia and to build a network of friends and colleagues that will stay with them throughout their professional lives."
He added, "I encourage all past and present Indian students in Australia to log onto www.MyOzNetwork.com to see how the website might be useful to them."
