Alumni Program

If you’re an AFTRS graduate and you haven’t heard from us in a while, chances are we don’t have your current contact details.

We would love to be able to invite you to our events and share your news, so please update your current contact details here and keep us updated on your latest projects, and career milestones via the official alumni groups on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Subscribe to Alumni News here (for graduated award course alumni only) and be sure to add alumni@aftrs.edu.au to your contacts or safe senders list.

Each year, AFTRS hosts an all-alumni reunion at the school in April. This event also serves as an opportunity to announce the annual recipient of the Alumni & Industry Scholarship Fund.

Alumni are also invited to festivals and events in all states and territories throughout the year. To ensure you receive the above invitations, ensure you’re subscribed to Alumni News and update your contact details here – including your location – so we can tailor invitations for you.

We love to stay connected to our overseas alumni as well, and we occasionally host or have presence at international events. We also share international opportunities in Alumni News, so don’t hesitate to update your details or reach out to say hello!

The AFTRS Alumni and Industry Team can also help you to host a reunion for your cohort, on the anniversary of your graduation. Drop us a line to find out more.

Our alumni, their stories and their successes are showcased in the Alumni Showcase and our News and Blog pages.

Alumni news can also be found daily on our public social media channels. You can find it all by searching #AFTRSAlumni on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
