Study in Australia

Charles Darwin University, UNSW Sydney, University of Queensland, University of Melbourne and more!

• Main intakes are February/March (Semester 1) and July (Semester 2), with some institutions running a third. Start 9–12 months out — Australia's process has more moving parts than most.
• We shortlist CRICOS-registered courses that match your grades, budget and migration goal — including whether a regional campus makes more sense for you than a metro one.
• We check how your qualifications map to Australian entry requirements and flag any pathway or foundation year early. - English — most degrees sit around IELTS 6.0–6.5, higher for some professional programmes.
• We'll tell you the exact score before you book a test. Genuine
• Student statement — the single most-assessed part of your application. We build yours with you around your actual profile, not a template.

You'll need a Student visa (Subclass 500), lodged online through ImmiAccount. We prepare the file and review every document.

A session (or three) with us before you fly, covering:

• Documents to hand-carry, Biosecurity, seriously — Australia has some of the strictest border rules in the world.
• Packing that makes sense — Australia is expensive for electronics and cheap for basics. Bring your laptop; buy your bedding there. And bring more warm clothes than you think: Melbourne winters and Sydney apartments without central heating surprise people.
• Culture and climate briefing — sun safety is not optional, tipping isn't expected, workplaces are informal, and academic integrity rules are enforced hard.

• While you study: You can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session, with no cap during official scheduled course breaks. Masters by Research and PhD students have no work-hour restriction at any time.
• After you graduate: the Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485). Three streams exist — Post-Vocational Education Work, Post-Higher Education Work, and Second Post-Higher Education Work for regional graduates — with stays generally running from 18 months to around three years depending on your qualification, and an extra one to two years for eligible regional graduates under the second stream.
• All information is subject to change based on the immigration rules update.

Higher than Europe. Higher wages too.

• The Government's own benchmark is AUD $29,710 per year for a single student — that's the figure your visa is assessed against, and a fair baseline outside the priciest suburbs (as of 2026).
• Sydney and Melbourne are the expensive end. Brisbane sits comfortably in the middle. Darwin, Adelaide and regional campuses are noticeably kinder — and come with migration upside.

• How much money do I need to show? AUD $29,710 for the primary applicant in 2026, plus AUD $10,394 for a partner and AUD $4,449 per child — always confirmed against the Department of Home Affairs website before you lodge. That's on top of tuition and airfare.
• What is the Genuine Student requirement? It replaced the GTE statement on 23 March 2024. Home Affairs assesses several factors including your commitment to study and your immigration history.
• Can I work while studying? Yes — 48 hours per fortnight during session, unlimited during scheduled breaks.
• Can I stay after graduation? Yes, via the Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa, lodged within six months of course completion, subject to the age and English requirements.
• Do I need health insurance? Yes. OSHC is mandatory for the full duration of your visa, and we arrange it as part of your application.
• Can I bring my family? Possible, with additional financial evidence and school costs for school-age children. We assess each case individually.
• How early should I start? Twelve months before your intended intake is ideal. Nine is comfortable. Six is tight.
