federal government of the Commonwealth of Australia, and
this area was established for the governance of the country.

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,

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

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.

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
