depending on your desired institution and level of study, your country

of citizenship and whether you plan to complete an ELICOS course

upon arrival in Australia. For student visa applications, the table below

outlines the minimum scores accepted for each test. Certain courses,

such as nursing, education or law programs, tend to have stricter

requirements. However, requirements for Vocational Education and

Training (VET) courses are usually lower.

It’s important to note that while the table shows the minimum scores

required for a student visa, you will likely need a higher score to gain

entry to your course. For undergraduate courses, the following scores

Annual Living Cost update 23/10/2019

Annual living costs amounts for students, guardians and accompanying family members - 23/10/2019

On 23 October 2019, the annual living costs amounts for students, guardians and accompanying family members was updated in line with Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases to mitigate the risk of visa holders falling into financial hardship during their stay in Australia.

1. for a primary applicant: an increase from AUD20,292 to AUD21,041

2. for a spouse or de facto partner of the primary applicant:

an increase from AUD7,100 to AUD7,362

3. for a dependent child: an increase from AUD3,040 to AUD3,152

4. annual school costs: an increase from AUD8,000 to AUD8,296

5. personal annual income if there is no secondary applicant:

an increase from AUD60,000 to AUD62,222

6. personal annual income where there is a secondary applicant:

an increase from AUD 70,000 to AUD72,592

Future financial capacity evidence requirement updates will be made on an

annual basis in line with the CPI increases, with implementation at the end of each

financial year.

Adjustments in the CPI are provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

We expect the next increase will occur after July 2020

THE FOLLOWING ANNUALLIVING COSTS AND EXPENSESWAS UPDATED:

HOW TO CALCULATE FINANCIALCAPACITY NEEDS TO BESHOWN TO THE DEPARTMENTOF HOME AFFAIRS.

Financial Capacity is one of the requirements to be granted a student visa. Student need to show a certain amount to the Department and that this fund is accessible during your study.How much money you need to show to the Department?

1. Annual tuition fees.

2. Annual living cost.

3. A return ticket equivalent.

The total amount need to be shown is 1+2+3

A simple calculation to help you understand :Jay is going to study Bachelor of Business with annual tuition fees $25,000.00, annual living cost set by Department for single application is $21,041.00, and 1 return ticket from Jay’s home country to Australia is $2,000.

So in total, Jay needs to show : $25,000 + $21,041 +$2,000 = $48,041We hope that this information can be useful for you who is planning to study in Australia. The amount can be different if you are bringing your spouses,


26

The length of stay is based on the course you intend to study. The ‘expiry date’ of your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and any welfare arrangements (where relevant) will also be taken into account.

Subject to the ‘expiry date’ of your OSHC and any welfare arrangements (where relevant), your length of stay will generally be as follows:

Length of stay for Student visas

The maximum length of stay for a Student visa will generally not exceed 5 years.

We will usually grant a visa stay period

1 month longer than the course

10 months or longer, finishing at the end of the

Australian academic year (November to December)


to 15 March of the following year

Participate in community life While many scholarships for international students are based on academic merit or financial need, remember that some scholarships are awarded for community participation. This includes community service or participation in community groups, clubs and sporting teams. Australian institutions often look for students who are active in their community and show leadership skills, so ensure you mention any relevant activities in your scholarship cover letter. Even if you are applying for academic or financial need scholarships, community participation can improve your application.

Apply for as many scholarships as possible

There are many scholarship opportunities in Australia, so we recommend that you apply for as many as possible. Don’t limit your search to the education institutions — scholarships may also be offered by residential colleges, the Australian Government, international organisations and government departments in your home country. University scholarships for international students are often awarded by specific faculties (the science faculty, for example), so be sure to enquire with your faculty. Many are only available to students entering particular courses who are from certain countries (Latin American students studying tourism or Indian students studying business, for example).  

TIPS ON HOW TO GETA SCHOLARSHIPIN AUSTRALIA

Ask for help with applications

Your scholarship applications are very important — they are often the only means of awarding scholarships, so it is important that your application is clear and without errors. Unfortunately, a simple mistake might result in your application being rejected. Common mistakes relate to spelling and grammar issues, lack of detail and poor presentation. To prevent any mistakes when you apply for scholarships, ask a trustworthy source who is fluent in English to review your application, such as a friend, parent or teacher.

Read the scholarship criteria carefully

Before applying for a scholarship, check that you have submitted everything that is required. Make sure that your application meets the deadline, answers all questions asked in sufficient detail, meets word limits and is accompanied by any required supporting documentation. Supporting documents may include a personal statement, a letter of offer, your employment history, references or proof of English language proficiency. Remember that some documents may need to be certified or translated. If you have any questions about your application, you should ask the scholarship provider before submission to ensure you have applied correctly.

WORK WHILEYOU STUDY Working while you study in Australia can help complement your overall

experience. Most students do some amount of paid work while

studying. It is important to be aware of some specific rules that may

affect you if you'll be working while on a student visa. You should also

understand your rights as an employee.

International students in Australia on a valid student visa can work for

up to 20 hours per week while school is in session, and there is no limit

on the number of hours an international student can work during

recognized school vacations. A work week in Australia is considered to

be Monday through the following Sunday. Although they are allowed

to arrive in Australia up to 90 days before their course begins, students

are not allowed to begin working until after their courses have begun.

The 20-hour-per-week limit does not extend to any work the student is

required to undertake as a component of his or her studies or training.

Volunteer and unpaid work, however, does count towards the 20

hours. If an international student works more than the Australian

restrictions allow, his or her visa may be cancelled.

Work Rules for International Students

Important Note:

Working during your stay in Australia is a great way for international

students to supplement their finances. However, it is extremely

important to be aware of the restrictions placed upon you as an

international student. If you violate any of the restrictions, your student

visa may be revoked and you could be deported out of Australia.


33

Work Rules for Family Membersof International Students

Family members (spouses and children) accompanying the

international student under their student visa have the same work

rights as the student – 20 hours per week. Unlike the students, family

members may not exceed 20 hours per week, even during holidays.

For those students obtaining a graduate degree, like a masters

degree, their family can work unlimited hours. Like students, family

members are not allowed to begin work until after the student has

started his or her course.

Working After Graduation

Unlike in some other English-speaking countries, there is no

automatic right associated with your student visa to stay and work

for a period of time in Australia after you complete your degree.

When you receive your student visa, the government lets you in on

a temporary basis of entry for study with the understanding that you

will leave upon completion of course and before the visa will expire.

Australia continues to have demand for foreign workers, and

students that have earned a degree in Australia have a special work

visa category. There are also several other visa categories open to

international students, and Australia has a very straightforward path

to permanent residency using a points system . If you want to stay

and work after you graduate, you must apply and obtain a work visa.

402 Training and Research Visa

Another option for international students, the 442 visa is for

students to improve their work skills for up to two years while

being sponsored by an employer.

487 Regional Sponsored Visa

This visa provides a pathway for permanent residency while

allowing you to work for 3 years and work in a specialized regional

area

887 Skilled Regional Residence Visa

The 887 visa awards you permanent residency and with this you

can live and work in Australia permanently. You must have already

lived in Australia for two years, have a year of work experience and

have sufficient points.

885 Skilled Independent Residence Visa

The 885 visa allows you to live as a permanent resident and work

without needing to be sponsored

886 Skilled Sponsor Resident Visa

The 886 visa allows an overseas student to apply for permanent

residency and work while being sponsored by an employer. Here are a few of the categories of visas that are available:

485 Skilled Graduate Temporary Visa

This visa is the most common option available to international

students after graduating. With a 485 visa, you are allowed to stay

in Australia for 18 months to gain work experience only if you have

just completed at least two years of study in Australia.

To be paid for working in Australia and pay the right amount of tax,

you’ll need to get a tax file number (TFN). This is a unique number that

stays the same even if you change your job, personal details or

residency status. When you start work, your employer will ask you to

fill out a Tax file number declaration to provide your TFN.

Once arriving in Australia, many people decide that they would like to

make Australia their home. Meeting eligibility requirements for a

permanent visa requires you to have an established Migration Pathway

that you can follow in order to meet the requirements. We can assist you

with the development of a Pathway.

A Migration Pathway is a written plan with steps you can take to meet

eligibility requirements to obtain permanent residency in Australia. You

will find the pathway beneficial in your course selection and the location

of your studies.

Your Migration Pathway will be designed in alignment with your academic

history and your future career goals. It will include research on the various

occupations available for permanent residency, locations to live and

courses that may offer a pathway. Many permanent visas require skills

assessments to be completed in order to meet eligibility requirements.

The Migration Pathway also includes information on meeting the skills

assessment requirements for your nominated occupation. If state

nomination is required of an occupation, eligibility requirements for your

preferred state will also be detailed.

PR PATHWAY COURSESWhat course should I study to get PR?

Many international students want to settle in Australia for good and fruitful career.

Some students find it difficult to get PR because their education and occupation is

not appropriate to be eligible for PR. This can be very costly mistake as it is known

that Australian education is expensive for international students. Therefore

international students, who want to qualify for PR after their studies, must have

required qualifications and employable in the occupations which are in high

demands at Australia. Australian government releases list of high demand

occupations each year. International students who have completed their course, in

any of the high demand occupation areas, have a good chance of getting PR.

The new Occupations List (STSOL & MLTSSL) has a combined lists feature over

400 eligible occupations. For those with a skill or qualification who wish to

migrate to Australia choosing the correct occupation, with the correct visa, is the

first important step to migration.

In order to qualify for skilled migration to Australia, you must nominate an

occupation from the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

However, if you are applying for skilled migration via nomination by a State or

Territory Government; you have the option of nominating an occupation from the

Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).

If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa and you are NOT nominated by a

State or Territory Government, you must nominate an occupation from this

Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa and you ARE nominated by a State

or Territory Government, you must nominate an occupation from either this

Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) OR the Short-term Skilled

Occupation List (STSOL).

GUARDIANSHIP

HOMESTAY

Independent Rentals

Are youlooking fora safeaccommodations

Homestay is an opportunity to live with an Australian family and experience. Australian

culture by participating in the daily routine of the host family’s life. Host families assist

students to adapt to their new environment. Typically, a homestay includes meals, but

students are responsible for the costs of washing, ironing, telephone, internet and

transport. International students who are under the age of 18 are required by the

Department of Immigration and Border Protection to live in a homestay or stay with a

relative who is eligible to be nominated as a carer until they turn 18. Guardians are

responsible for the welfare of international students who are in their care.

If you are looking to sign a contract for a rental, make sure that the rental you are

looking at is the best option for you. If you have friends that are studying abroad with

you or you have friends in the country, you may be able to make the overall price less

because of splitting the cost of the rental. Make sure that you get the best deal for your

money so that you can stay comfortable while studying in Australia.

Look for a real estate agency or two in the area or city that you are studying in. They

may have rentals available for you to check out, and they may be able to work with you

on the price and other important factors related to a rental. If you are looking for

somewhere to live while studying in Australia, there are a couple of websites that you

should definitely check out during the process.

International students who are under the age of 18 are required by the Department of

Immigration and Border Protection to live in a homestay or stay with a relative who is

eligible to be nominated as a carer until they turn 18. Guardians are responsible for the

welfare of international students who are in their care.

It is ideal if you want to live with other students from the same institution and close to your place of study. These are typically

multi-room residences where you are provided with a bedroom with a single bed, desk and chair and storage space. Bathrooms

are commonly shared.
