Study in Australia (Education)

Australia is one of the most popular places in the world to study, and for good reason. The universities and colleges are respected globally, the lifestyle is hard to beat, and study here can open the door to working and even staying long term. But choosing the wrong course, or getting the student visa wrong, can cost you time, money and a lot of stress. Our qualified education consultant in Brisbane helps international students plan it properly from the start.

Why study in Australia?

Globally recognised qualifications. Australian degrees and diplomas are respected by employers around the world.

A genuine student experience. Safe cities, a strong international-student community, and support built into the system.

Work while you study. Student visa holders can usually work a limited number of hours during term and more during breaks, which helps with living costs.

Pathways after study. The right course can lead to a Temporary Graduate visa, and for some, a route toward skilled migration.

The trick is lining all of that up from the beginning, so the course you pick today still makes sense for where you want to be in five years.

Getting the course right matters more than people think

It’s tempting to pick a course on price or a friend’s recommendation. That’s a mistake. The right course depends on your goals, your budget, your academic background, and what you want to do after you finish. A course that suits your cousin might be wrong for you.

As a qualified education agent counsellor (QEAC O920), we help you choose a course and institution that fit your situation, not just the one that’s easiest to get into. We look at the whole picture: entry requirements, fees, location, campus, and where the qualification can take you afterward.

The student visa (subclass 500)

To study a full-time course in Australia, most international students need a Student visa (subclass 500). To get it, you’ll generally need:

A confirmed enrolment (a Confirmation of Enrolment, or CoE) from a registered course.

To meet the Genuine Student requirement, showing you’re coming to Australia mainly to study.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the length of your stay.

Enough funds to cover tuition, living costs and travel.

English language ability at the level your course requires.

Because our migration and education advice sit together, we make sure your course choice and your visa work as one plan, not two separate problems. See our Student Visa (500) page for the visa detail.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

OSHC is health insurance you’re required to hold for the whole time you’re on a student visa. It’s not optional, and the department checks it. We help you sort out appropriate cover so it’s one less thing to trip over. Our OSHC Guide explains how it works.

From student to graduate to resident

A lot of our education clients aren’t just thinking about study. They’re thinking about a future here. Study can lead to a Temporary Graduate visa (485), and graduate work experience can feed into skilled migration. Because we do both education and migration, we can plan that journey with you now, rather than leaving you to rethink everything after you graduate.

Frequently asked questions

You’ll need to cover tuition, living costs, and travel, and show you have access to sufficient funds for the visa. The exact figure depends on your course and city, and we’ll give you a clear estimate for your situation.

Yes. Student visa holders can usually work a capped number of hours while their course is in session, and more during scheduled breaks. The current cap can change, so we’ll confirm the up-to-date limit with you.

It’s the requirement to show that your main reason for coming to Australia is to study. You demonstrate it through your study plan, background, and circumstances. Weak evidence here is a common reason student visas are refused, so it’s worth getting right.

In many cases you can include family members, such as a partner or children, in your student visa application. There are extra requirements and costs, and we’ll talk you through them.

Yes. Overseas Student Health Cover is mandatory for student visa holders and must cover your whole stay.

Not automatically, but the right course can lead to a graduate work visa, and graduate experience can support a skilled migration application later. Planning this early makes a real difference.

Yes. Whether you want to change course, extend your visa, or move toward a graduate or skilled visa, we help students who are already here as well as those applying from overseas.
