Student Financial Capacity CalculatorTo be granted a subclass 500 Student visa, you generally need to:
A clear, step-by-step path from choosing a course to landing in Australia — with us guiding each stage.
We counsel you on CRICOS-registered courses and institutions that fit your goals, budget and background.
We manage your admission applications, secure your letter of offer, and obtain your Confirmation of Enrolment after you accept.
We help you prepare your Genuine Student statement, financial capacity evidence, English results and OSHC.
We compile and lodge your subclass 500 application through ImmiAccount with a complete, well-organised document set.
We guide you through any medical examination and biometrics the Department requires.
We respond to any requests for more information, track progress, and help you prepare for your move to Australia.
Having these ready early makes for a smoother, faster application. We confirm exactly what applies to your situation.
Visa criteria, financial levels and processing times are set by the Australian Government and change regularly. The above is general information only — book a consultation for advice specific to you.
In many cases you can include eligible family members (partner and dependent children) in your application, or have them apply to join you later. We'll advise based on your situation and your course.
Student visa holders can generally work limited hours during study and more during recognised course breaks, subject to current conditions set by the Department of Home Affairs. We explain the work rules that apply when you lodge.
Your application must show you are coming to Australia primarily to study. The Genuine Student requirement replaced the former GTE requirement. We help you prepare a clear, well-evidenced response that addresses your circumstances, study choice and future plans.
You need to show access to sufficient funds to cover tuition, living and travel costs. The exact financial level is set by the Department and is updated periodically, so we calculate your specific requirement and advise what evidence is accepted.
The English requirement depends on your course and provider, and some applicants are exempt. We confirm exactly what you need and which tests or exemptions apply to you.
Processing times vary by course level, your country of application, and how complete your application is. A well-prepared application reduces delays — we give you a realistic estimate for your situation.
It is often possible, but conditions and timing matter and some changes can affect your visa. Speak with us before changing so we can advise on the right process.
You may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to gain work experience, and potentially a skilled migration pathway. We can map this out with you.
