With your child

What we do for you.

We explain every step to you and to your child, and stay with them until they arrive and settle.

  1. We listen to you both

    Grades, goals and your budget, then we suggest suitable universities and courses.

  2. We apply and follow up

    We prepare the application, submit it to the university with your child’s consent, and follow up until the offer arrives.

  3. We guide the visa

    We help prepare the student visa (subclass 500) documents and explain each step. Decisions and fees rest with the Australian authorities.

  4. We are there after arrival

    Our Melbourne team helps with the first weeks and any question that comes up, and guides students to the best available accommodation options.

Costs

What you pay, and to whom.

We do not charge you for advice or applications. These are the main costs of studying, each paid to the organisation concerned.

  • Tuition fees

    Paid directly to the university or institute, and they vary by course.

  • Visa charge

    Paid to the Australian Government when applying for the student visa.

  • Student health cover

    The student visa requires Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the length of the course.

  • Housing and living costs

    These vary by city and type of housing. We guide students to the best available accommodation options and help you estimate the costs before departure.

  • Who pays the fees, and how?

    Tuition is paid directly to the university against its invoices, and government fees to the Australian Government. For sponsored students, the university invoices the sponsor.
