As an International student on Student Visa (Subclass 500) for Australia, you are required to adhere to the conditions listed in your visa. If you do not comply with any of these conditions you will be held in breach of your visa conditions.
As an international student in Australia, the Department of Home Affairs, the educational Institutes and all ancillary service institutes consider you responsible for your actions. So, it is your obligation to ensure that you are not breaching any visa conditions.
It is imperative that you understand these conditions and abide by them so it may not impact your current and future stay in Australia. Let’s break down these conditions into simple, easy-to-understand terms.
You have limited work rights and you need to abide them
You must remain enrolled in a registered course and maintain satisfactory attendance and course progress.
You must not become involved in activities disruptive to, or violence threatening harm to, the Australian community or a segment of the community.
Similar to Condition 8303, you must not engage in disruptive or violent activities threatening harm to the Australian community or a segment of the community.
You must maintain adequate health insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover) for the duration of your stay in Australia.
You must continue to meet the primary criteria for which your visa was granted, such as remaining enrolled in a course and maintaining adequate health insurance.
Any school-age dependents accompanying you must attend school and you must cover their education costs.
If you are under 18 years of age, you must have adequate welfare arrangements in place for your stay in Australia.
You must notify your education provider of your residential address in Australia within seven days of arriving and of any address changes within seven days.
You are not allowed to apply for another visa while in Australia, except for a protection visa, temporary graduate visa, or student guardian visa (applied selectively).
This condition applies specifically to certain government-sponsored students, restricting them from applying for another visa while in Australia except under specific circumstances.
The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) allows recent international graduates to live, study, and work in Australia after completing their studies. It's an excellent opportunity for those seeking to gain valuable work experience in their field or explore further study opportunities.
Navigating the requirements of a student visa can be challenging for international students in Australia. While most are aware of the basics, there are some important conditions that can easily be misunderstood or overlooked.
Australia’s education sector is highly respected worldwide, and Teaching programs offer comprehensive training, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to educate and inspire young minds.
