A plain guide for international students in Australia: choosing a course, the student visa, work rights, health cover and staying after study. Talk to BYD Education & Immigration Consultants in Brisbane.
Studying in Australia as an international student means enrolling in a registered course, holding a student visa (subclass 500), and meeting a few clear conditions while you’re here. In short: you choose a course at a provider registered on CRICOS, you get an offer and confirm your enrolment, you take out overseas student health cover (OSHC) for your whole stay, and you apply for a student visa that requires you to be a genuine student with enough funds and English. Once you’re here you can usually work limited hours during term and full-time in breaks, you must stay enrolled and keep up attendance, and after you finish there are pathways, like the Temporary Graduate visa (485), to stay and work. This guide walks through what actually matters, from picking a course to what happens after graduation.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation. Our registered migration agent and qualified education consultant work under one roof, so your visa and study plans line up.
