Zookal

Zookal.com is the largest student portal in Australia providing a variety of service lines that make students’ lives easier.

The largest service line is Textbook Rentals which provides a faster, easier and cheaper alternative to what is available disrupting the current textbook market. We solve one of the biggest pain points for price-conscious students by providing textbooks at a fraction of the price that they are currently getting them for in the Australian market.

Zookal also provides a digital notes platform and internship programs for international students.
