Do I need a visa to study in Australia?
Yes. You’ll need a tourist or student visa depending on the length of your course. You must complete a visa application form, provide the required documents and pay an application fee. You can only be granted a student visa if you meet the requirements (financial, academic, personal) and intend to study a registered course full-time. Check the requirements at the student visa section at the Australian Government immigration website.
