Help in your Country

The Australian Government has an Australian Education network which covers many countries. The network provides professional and impartial advice about living in Melbourne and other parts of Victoria.

Staff can help you to apply for a course and a visa, although they can not process applications for you. Embassies and Posts are listed on the Australian Government immigration website. The federal government's Study in Australia website also lists official contacts near you.

Registered Australian education agents can also help you apply for a course and a visa. Australian Education Centres, or an Australian Embassy, Diplomatic Post or Australian Immigration office can provide a list of registered agents.

Visit the Department of Immigration and Citizenship's website for advice on how to apply for a visa. You may be able to apply online through the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website or in person at an Australian Embassy or Diplomatic Post.
