Student Visa
Students
The Student visa class are determined by the education sector of your main course, which is generally the course which provides the highest qualification:
- Subclass 570 Independent ELICOS
- Subclass 571 Schools
- Subclass 572 Vocational Education and Training
- Subclass 573 Higher Education
- Subclass 574 Postgraduate Research
- Subclass 575 Non-Award
- Subclass 576 AusAID or Defence
There are five Assessment Levels in the student visa program . Assessment Level 1 is the lowest immigration risk and Assessment Level 5 the highest. The higher the Assessment Level, the greater the evidence an applicant is required to show DIAC. If you wish to apply for a student visa you should contact us. Applicants need to demonstrate that they are genuine students, have the necessary English language proficiency and have the financial capacity to support their Australian studies and living costs.
Completion of Australian studies is seen as one pathway to obtain an Australian Skilled Visa. However, when selecting your studies care should be taken because the Australian government visa requirements change and your choice of studies today does not necessarily guarantee a permanent visa in the future.

Julie provides advice and information to Sponsors under the Refugee and Humanitarian program. This can include reviewing an applicants claims and advising of the need to make applicants claims specific to themselves rather than making general claims, and clearly stating their well founded fear of return to their country of origin and claims of substantial discrimination.
