International students can come to Australia to study full-time in a registered course under the Student visa program. According to your course, the student visa allows you to live, work, and study in Australia for a maximum of five years. During term time, you are usually allowed to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight and unlimited hours during term breaks on this visa. During term time, however, the Australian government is temporarily allowing students in all industries to work more than their regular 40 hours per fortnight. Students can now begin working as soon as they arrive in Australia, rather than waiting until their study begins.

You can also include family members for student visas. They include:
• your partner or
• your or your partner’s dependent child who is unmarried and has not turned 18 years old.

For applying an Australian student visa, you’ll need the following documents:
• Offer Letter
• Electronic enrollment confirmation
• A valid passport
• Receipt of visa application fee
• Your statement as a Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE)
• Documents of academics and professional experience
• Proof of financial ability
• Evidence of your ability to communicate in English (such as IELTS test scores)
