Visa considerations 

The Australian student visa application cost has recently increased and may change again with short notice. As part of the student visa application process, applicants must demonstrate that they have access to sufficient funds to cover the cost of living in Australia. The minimum financial requirement is subject to change. 

Please refer to the Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date information on financial evidence requirements, visa costs and other visa requirements:

Health insurance

An Australian student visa requires applicants to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the full duration of their activity. OSHC is a government requirement and cannot be waived with offshore health insurance and/or comprehensive travel insurance. Students from countries with specific government agreements with Australia, such as Belgium, Norway, and Sweden, may be exempt.  Students are responsible for meeting the cost of the OSHC policy.
