QUEST Society

QUEST Society QUEST showcases the best of the University of Queensland, Brisbane, and South-East Queensland for visiting International students and students on exchange.

The Queensland University Exchange Student Society (short QUEST) was founded by Australian students who returned from their own International study trips and found they didn't get the local experience they were hoping for. It's our job to make sure you leave Brisbane with a bunch of life-long friends, some great experiences - and maybe a couch to crash on somewhere around the world! From our tradi

tional start of semester trip, our amazing Noosa and Byron weekends, our Moreton Island trip or just our weekly Pub Nights, we have something to suit everyone. When you first arrive in Brisbane, send us an email (head to the Contact tab!) and we'll be only too happy to point you in the right direction! Feel free to contact us via Instagram as well at .society. From our humble beginnings, QUEST has grown to provide a real Australian experience to tens of thousands of students each semester. We're proud to continuously win awards at the UQ Union Club Awards Night, the UQ Vice Chancellor's Award for Internationalisation, and gain other recognition outside the UQ community. None of this is possible without our huge army of volunteers - and you! Our members are what make us great. We can't wait to meet you!

The best weekend ever!

Looking for somewhere to spend your Thursday night? We’re having our weekly pub night at Retro’s!! 🪩 Mark your calendars 🗓️ and be sure to come dance the night away with us! 🕺🏼💃

========================================
Usual reminders:
Please bring appropriate ID, a student card will NOT get you in! Australian laws are very strict on identification and liquor venues. We recommend getting a Queensland 18+ card (saves you worrying a lot about your passport!) If you are using a foreign drivers’ licence, it must be written in English.
