Getting a Student Visa to Australia

The procedure in getting a Student visa to Australia, is that you first organise the eligible course that you wish to study in Australia, and then apply for the visa.

The first Australian Government website that you should view would be one of the following...


UK and British Citizens:
Vocational Education and Training Sector: Temporary Visa (Subclass 572) - Assessment Level 1

Countries such as South Africa:
Vocational Education and Training Sector: Temporary Visa (Subclass 572) - Assessment Level 2

Countries such as the Philippines:
Vocational Education and Training Sector: Temporary Visa (Subclass 572) - Assessment Level 3

Length of Stay in Australia

    The length of your student visa will normally be the same length as your course in Australia, with about an extra month added.

Working in Australia on a Student Visa

    From 26 April 2008, people granted a Student Visa will automatically receive permission to work with their visa grant.

    Most student visa holders will no longer need to apply separately in Australia for permission to work.

    While studying Students can work up to 20 hours a week and during non-study periods they can work Full Time.

Medical Insurance

    It is a condition for all Student visa holders that they must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

    The prices for this start from about $100 for 3 months, and will cover most medical expenses in public hospitals, clinics and specialists.

    Dental and optical costs are not normally covered, in the standard policy.

    This is available from many insurers including:

    • Medibank Private
    • OSHC Worldcare
    • HBA
    • AHM
    • BUPA
