Whats new in Australian education?

Australia is a popular choice for students considering an overseas education,
with a range of global rankings confirming its status as a top study destination.
We also announce a new student visa framework, discuss the results of the
recent International Student Survey, highlight growth in Australias international
student enrolments and summarise some of the major campus developments
around the country.
Australian cities shine in global ratings
Victorias capital city Melbourne took
out top spot as the worlds most liveable
city for the fourth year in a row, beating
Vienna (Austria), Vancouver (Canada)
and Toronto (Canada) in the Economist
Intelligence Units 2014 liveability survey.
Other Australian cities to feature in the top
10 include Adelaide (fifth place), Sydney
(seventh place) and Perth (ninth place).
With an overall score of 97.5 out of 100,
Melbourne received perfect marks for
education, health care and infrastructure.
Australia also received favourable results as
a desirable country for students and visitors.
Melbourne came in at second place in the
QS Best Student Cities Report 2015, behind
Paris, with Sydney not far behind, at fourth
place. Also in the top 50 were Canberra
(21st), Brisbane (23rd), Adelaide (29th) and
Perth (38th). Melbourne was awarded first
place globally for student mix, with Sydney,
Brisbane and Perth joining it in the top 10.
In a rank of friendly cities, Cond Nasts
Traveler magazine placed Melbourne at
equal first with Auckland (New Zealand).
Sydney came in at fifth place.
Australian Government to implement new

student visa framework
International students are set to benefit
from a new simplified student visa
framework (SSVF), which is to be introduced
in mid-2016. The new framework will
replace the current Streamlined Visa
Processing (SVP) arrangements and
Assessment Level (AL) Framework. It will
see the number of student visa subclasses
reduced from eight to two and the
introduction of a single immigration risk
framework for all international students.
Under the new framework, students
financial and English language evidentiary
requirements will be based on their country
of citizenship and education provider, rather
than the education sector in which they
choose to study.
Survey results show high international

student satisfaction
A national survey of international students
has provided a positive snapshot of study
experiences among those studying in

Australia. The latest instalment of the
International Student Survey, published
in April 2015, found that 88 per cent of
international students were satisfied or
very satisfied with their overall experience
studying and living in Australia. It also
identified the top reasons for choosing
Australia as an international study
destination, including the reputation of
the chosen qualification (with 95 per cent
of students citing this as important or
very important), reputation of the chosen
institution (94 per cent), reputation of
Australias education system (93 per cent),
personal safety (92 per cent), and quality
of research and teaching at the chosen
institution (91 per cent).
The survey attracted responses from more
than 55,000 international students across
the higher education, Vocational Education
and Training (VET), English Language
Intensive Courses for Overseas Students
(ELICOS) and secondary school sectors.
International student numbers continue

to grow
The number of international students
enrolling at Australian institutions
has continued to grow, with 589,860
enrolments in 2014. This represents an
increase of nearly 12 per cent on 2013.
Enrolments increased across all sectors, with
the biggest jumps at non-award level (21
per cent), ELICOS (20 per cent) and VET
(11 per cent). To read more about these

types of education, see page 9. Research
has also revealed the top countries of
origin for international students studying in
Australia, with the top five including China,
India, Vietnam, the Republic of Korea and
Thailand (read more on page 27).
Australian universities continue to

improve campus facilities
Australian universities have opened or
commenced construction on a number of
new facilities in the past year.
The University of Southern Queensland
has opened a new campus in Ipswich,
taking over a former site of the University
of Queensland, while the University of
Newcastle has commenced construction of
a new CBD campus for business and law
students. In Victoria, Deakin University is
currently in the process of upgrading its
Melbourne Burwood campus. The university
has opened a new eight-storey building and
will continue to refurbish 11 existing spaces
across the campus.
Health science students at the University
of Adelaide are set to benefit from a new
medical and nursing schools building, located
next to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in the
South Australian Health and Biomedical
Precinct. The building, set to open in 2017,
will house teaching and learning facilities for
more than 1500 students.

The Australian education system
Skills and training

are offered by universities, TAFE institutes
and private colleges.
Semi-skilled
These courses are mainly certificate I and
II, as well as individual subjects and some
non-award courses. They provide training in
a limited range of skills on a limited range
of equipment at a basic level. Qualifications
are offered by TAFE institutes, private
colleges and some universities.
Skilled non-trade
These courses are mainly offered at
certificate III level. They provide more
complex vocational skills and knowledge
at a similar level to trade courses.
Qualifications are offered by TAFE institutes,
private colleges and some universities.
Advanced or additional skills

These courses are mainly certificate IV and
non-award courses. They provide tradeequivalent skills or skills at a level higher
than trade. Qualifications are offered
by TAFE institutes, private colleges and
universities.
Paraprofessional skills
These courses include diplomas, advanced
diplomas and associate degrees. They
develop skills or knowledge in a specific
area usually associated with employment in
a particular job. Qualifications are offered in
both the higher education and Vocational
Education and Training (VET) sectors,
including universities, TAFE institutes and
private colleges.
Professional skills undergraduate

These courses include bachelor degrees.
A bachelor degree is a higher education
sector qualification that provides initial
preparation for professional careers and
postgraduate study. Qualifications are
offered by universities, private colleges and
some TAFE institutes.
Professional skills postgraduate

Senior secondary
Basic education
Studies range from traditional academic

disciplines taken to prepare students for
higher education study to more vocational
and semi-vocational courses that prepare
students to enter the workforce directly
or to undertake vocational programs.
Qualifications are offered by secondary
schools, adult education centres and some
TAFE institutes.
This includes certificate I and some

non-award courses. They provide
instruction in basic skills at a pre-vocational
or pre-employment level, or educational
preparation such as literacy and numeracy,
adult secondary education, foundation
programs for university preparation and
English Language Intensive Courses for
Overseas Students (ELICOS). Qualifications
This level includes vocational graduate

certificates, vocational graduate diplomas,
graduate certificates, graduate diplomas,
masters degrees and doctoral degrees.
These programs are designed to broaden
skills and knowledge gained in an
undergraduate program or develop skills in
a new professional area. Qualifications are
offered by universities, private colleges and
some TAFE institutes.
Student pathways
Many international students use pathways to progress through the Australian education
system, working their way up from a lower qualification to a higher qualification and often
earning credit for the previous studies they have completed.
Every year, many international students take
advantage of the pathway options available
to get into their preferred course. In fact,
data from the Australian Department
of Education and Training shows that
most international students undertake
study in more than one education sector
during their time in Australia, with many
using study in one sector as a pathway
into higher-level study. Some students
complete a pathway course in order to
meet the academic and English language
requirements for Vocational Education
and Training (VET) or higher education
study for example, they might complete
secondary school, an English language
course or a foundation studies program in
order to gain entry to the higher education
sector. Other students decide to progress to
a higher qualification after completing their
first course in Australia advancing into
higher education after completing a course
from the VET sector, for example.
(AQF) regulates all Australian qualifications
and makes it easy to progress from one
qualification to the next. It makes it
possible to enter a course with lower entry
requirements and work your way up to
more advanced courses. This means that
you could complete an English language
course, followed by a VET course and
then progress to a bachelor degree. In
some cases, you may even be awarded
credit for the study you have already
completed, which reduces the total time
it will take to complete your qualification.
Not all pathways will be accepted by all
institutions, so check with your provider to
find out which pathways they recognise for
entry to your chosen course.
As well as preparing you for the academic
and language requirements of higher-level
tertiary study, pathways also give you
extra time to settle into your new city in
Australia, practise the English language and
become familiar with Australian culture and
the education system before commencing
further academic study. A further benefit is
gaining a new set of skills and knowledge
that will be an advantage in your future
study experiences and career.

Zhou Quan China
Robby Gupta India
Advanced Diploma of Screen (Film and

Television Production), leading to a Bachelor
of Communication (Media)
Diploma of Hotel Management, leading

to a Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality
Management
I was 17 when I first arrived in Melbourne.

My high school, Shaoxing No.1 High
School, had an exchange program with
Balwyn High School when I was in second
year (equivalent to Year 11 in Australia).
Before I went abroad, my dream was to
be a journalist or TV reporter. I picked the
media class at Balwyn High School and
that made me want to be a filmmaker.
We watched and analysed Hitchcocks
Psycho and I was thrilled about the impact
of cinema. The teacher of the media class
recommended I go to RMIT as the film
course there is hands-on and practical.
Having grown up in New Delhi, I wanted to

live a very busy lifestyle in a quiet city, so I
knew this would be a better place for me.
Hearing that TAFE SAs Regency campus in
Adelaide was the best hotel management
school in the Southern Hemisphere, I began
my Diploma of Hotel Management there.
I completed the Advanced Diploma of

Screen (Film and Television Production),
which was a three-year course. Studying
at TAFE gave me a great opportunity to
practise the technical side of filmmaking.
I articulated from the TAFE course to
complete the Bachelor of Communication
(Media) at RMIT. The bachelor degree was
supposed to be three years long, but my
TAFE credits covered half of it. I think TAFE
gave me more practical experience than
university, and I felt that I had a better
understanding of technical aspects than
other students when we were doing group
assignments at university. The films that
we made during the TAFE course were
much more hands-on than the ones we
did at university, but the university classes
gave me better knowledge of the history
of cinema and the contemporary situation
of the film industry. In order to be a
professional filmmaker, both are necessary.
TAFE teaching is very professional, and

the facilities at Regency are the most up
to date. I worked in the latest kitchens,
training restaurants and front-of-house
facilities with current technology. Many
teachers are internationally known
professionals, and chefs from the Adelaide
Hilton taught us many different cuisines.
The whole TAFE culture was really nice.
The staff were very helpful and they knew
about different cultures. They organised
events for us like the Indian Festival of
Light, which made me feel that little bit
more welcome. I studied front-of-house,
wine studies, food service, accounting
and human resources. My TAFE diploma
took me into the Bachelor of Tourism and
Hospitality Management at the University of
South Australia. I only needed one year to
finish my degree because I had completed
the diploma. Now in my working day I can
apply my education and knowledge to
every job that people do in my restaurants
and catering business. I did two other
courses at TAFE computer science and
commercial cookery because I wanted
to understand every aspect of my business.
Education in this country is fun. I have
found Australian education and my TAFE
study to be practical, industry-based
and enjoyable.
Applying for admission

Applying to Australian institutions is easy, although it will take some time and careful
planning. Remember that you can ask for help and advice from the institution you are
applying to, your local Australian visa office and education agents in your home country.
Step 1: Choosing a course and campus
Carefully research courses, institutions
and their locations. Consider the areas of
specialisation offered through different
courses and which specialisations will best
suit your intended career path. Once you
have decided on the best course, you need
to find out which education providers
offer it and which provider best suits your
requirements. You should consider the size
and location of the campus, as well as the
facilities and support services available to
international students. This guide and the
Studies in Australia website at
www.StudiesInAustralia.com have
information about a range of different
education providers and the courses they
offer.
Step 2: Applying
Once you have chosen your course and
education provider, its time to apply. Check
the academic and English language entry
requirements to make sure you are eligible.
If you do not meet the entry requirements,
you may need to consider a different course
or apply for bridging or foundation study,
which may improve your chances. For
information about foundation courses, see
page 85.
Contact your education provider and
ask about their application dates and
requirements, as these will differ for
each provider. Make a note of important
deadlines to ensure you meet them. Also
remember to allow for postal times when
sending forms by mail. A list of provider
contact details can be found at
www.StudiesInAustralia.com, as well as
on pages 137 to 139.
International students usually apply directly
to Australian institutions, either by post
or online. You can download application
forms from institutions websites or request
the forms to be posted. Another option
is to contact an education agent in your
country or an overseas representative of
the institution to which you are applying.
Your application form will ask you which
course(s) you are applying for and give
you details of the documentation you
need to supply.
Most application forms require you to

supply:
weeks (longer for postgraduate applications)

before your application is processed.
your personal details
Step 4: Accepting your offer
certified proof of your level of English

language proficiency
If your application is accepted, you will

receive a letter of offer and an acceptance
form. Before accepting the offer, you
should carefully read the letter of offer and
check any conditions that may apply. You
will need to meet these conditions before
the institution issues a Confirmation of
Enrolment (CoE). You may also be required
to pay a portion of your tuition fees before
your institution issues a CoE. The institution
will advise you of its requirements.
details of your previous academic

qualifications, such as academic
transcripts
your course preferences
a summary of your employment
experience (if applicable).
If you are still completing your education,
you can provide evidence of your most
recent grades until it is possible to provide
your final results. If the documents you
supply are not in English, you must
provide an official certified translation.
Most institutions charge a non-refundable
application fee of around AUD$50 to
$100 that must be included with your
application. Some institutions waive this
fee if the application is made online. Before
sending your application, check your visa
requirements with your local Australian
visa office or online at the Department of
Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP)
website to ensure you will qualify for a
visa if your application is successful. A list
of Australian visa offices can be found
on page 140. If, at any time during the
application process, you are uncertain
about how to proceed, dont hesitate to
contact your education provider they are
there to help you.
Step 3: Processing of your application

Once the education provider receives your
application it will be assessed and you will
be notified of the result. It may take a few
Step 5: Preparing for departure

Now that you have been accepted, its time
to apply. You can apply for your student
visa using either your letter of offer or
CoE, although you will need to supply
evidence of your CoE before your student
visa is granted. You can find information
about student visas on page 18. You must
also purchase your plane tickets, organise
your Overseas Student Health Cover (see
page 21) and start thinking about your
accommodation in Australia (see page 26).
Your education provider will typically
send you an admissions package with
information that will help you prepare
for your journey to Australia. This might
include information about your course and
accommodation options, facts about the
location, financial information and details
about orientation programs. See page 32
for some general information about what
daily life is like in Australia.

The Australian Government designed the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) to
ensure that qualification titles across the country are consistent and represent the same
high standards of education.
What is the AQF?
The AQF regulates all Australian
qualifications and provides clear rules
about the level of education that each
qualification title represents. Each
qualification generally leads into the
next qualification around the wheel (see
below) in the education framework.
Having a nationally standardised system
means there is a clear pathway to follow,
making it easier for students to pursue
their education. It also makes transferring
between different education providers
much smoother, as there is no confusion
caused by differing qualification titles
and education levels. In addition to these
qualifications, the AQF issues a Statement
of Attainment when a student completes
only part of a qualification.
International students and the AQF

The AQF has many advantages for
international students. It makes course
searches simpler, as the qualification titles
are the same throughout Australia. This
means that you can focus on finding the
best course and institution for your needs
without also having to spend time
researching what each qualification
title means. International
students who complete a
qualification within the
AQF are also able to
understand the entry
requirements for higher
qualifications if they
want to progress from
undergraduate to
postgraduate study,
for example.
The AQF contributes
to the worldwide
recognition
of Australian
qualifications, making it
easy for other countries
to understand what
level of education each
Australian qualification
represents.
There are a limited number
of courses that are not part of
the AQF that are also available to
international students, such as foundation
16
and bridging courses. These courses are

designed to help students meet course
entry requirements or gain entry to further
study that results in an AQF qualification.
You can find information about foundation
and bridging courses on page 85.
Comparisons between overseas

qualifications and AQF qualifications
To find out whether your qualification
from your home country satisfies entry
requirements for an Australian course,
you will need to ask your education
provider. There is more information about
international qualification recognition at
https://internationaleducation.gov.au.
Quality assurance
A number of regulations and laws
are in place to ensure the quality and
consistency of Australias international
education sector. The Education Services
for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000
requires institutions that offer courses to
international students to meet nationally

consistent standards in education quality,
facilities and services. The Act ensures
that international students receive the
same standard of education as Australian
students. In addition, institutions that
wish to offer education to international
students must register with the Australian
Government under the Commonwealth
Register of Institutions and Courses for
Overseas Students (CRICOS).
Registration with CRICOS requires
institutions to demonstrate that their
qualifications meet Australian standards.
The Education Services for Overseas
Students Legislation Amendment Act
2011 introduced a more thorough system
of scrutinisation for education providers.
These changes were introduced to further
strengthen Australias international
education sector and prevent high-risk
providers from entering the sector. The
Tuition Protection Service (TPS) provides
additional security for international students
in Australia in the unlikely event that their
education provider is unable to deliver a
course (due to closure, for example).
International students should check
the CRICOS website at http://

Qualification recognition in Australia

Many international students come to Australia to complete an undergraduate degree. If you
are wondering which qualifications are recognised for admission, you will be pleased to learn
that there are a number of different qualifications accepted by Australian higher education
institutions for entry into undergraduate degrees.
Complete secondary school in Australia
International students who complete Year
12 in Australia can apply for admission to
undergraduate degrees in the same way as
Australian students. This requires them to
complete the Australian Senior Secondary
Certificate of Education offered in their
state or territory and gain an Australian
Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or an
Overall Position (OP) in Queensland. The
ATAR and OP are the ranking (or score)
that Australian students gain when they
graduate from secondary school after
completing their final assessments. It is
the most common selection method used
to admit Australian secondary school
graduates into undergraduate courses.
Required ATARs vary depending on the
course and the institution you are applying
for. You will find the ATAR required for
entry into your preferred course listed in
the institutions course handbook or on its
website, along with any other prerequisites
(such as a portfolio of work for art and
design courses, an audition for performing
arts courses or secondary school studies in
mathematics for engineering courses).
Complete secondary school overseas

International students who complete
secondary school in their home country
or elsewhere overseas can often apply
for entry to Australian higher education
institutions based on their overseas
secondary school qualification. The
international qualifications recognised by
each institution vary, so you will need to
check whether your institution recognises
the overseas secondary school qualification
you completed. You might also find a
list of recognised overseas qualifications
and the score required for entry into your
chosen course on your institutions website.
If your qualification is not recognised,
you may need to undertake preparatory
studies to meet the entry requirements,
such as completing a year of university
study in your home country; a vocational
qualification equivalent to a certificate IV or

diploma in Australia or your home country;
or a recognised foundation program in
Australia. Contact your institution for
more information. In addition to these
academic entry requirements, you will
also be required to meet English language
requirements and any other prerequisites
specified for your chosen course.
Capital Territory, Queensland, Tasmania,

Victoria and Western Australia. The ATAR
conversion is different in South Australia
and the Northern Territory, so students
considering tertiary study in these regions
should check with institutions for details.

Complete an international qualification

If you are completing secondary school
overseas and intending to study an
undergraduate course in Australia, you
might consider completing an international
qualification for tertiary preparation such
as the International Baccalaureate (IB).
Growing out of the need to facilitate the
international mobility of students, the IB
specialises in preparing students for a more
global environment.

Student visa requirements

Australia is a great place to study. It provides high-quality courses, a fantastic lifestyle and a
welcoming environment for international students. Once you have been accepted into your
Australian course, the next step is to organise your student visa.
You will need a student visa for the whole
time that you study in Australia. Before you
apply for an Australian course, you should
contact the Department of Immigration and
Border Protection (DIBP) or your nearest
Australian visa office to find out whether
you will be eligible for a student visa,
how to make your application and what
documents are required. There is a list of
Australian visa offices on page 140. In
most cases, members of your family unit (a
partner or a dependent child) may apply for
a student visa to live with you in Australia
while you study.
General and evidentiary visa

requirements
There are various general and evidentiary
requirements that students must meet in
order to be eligible for a student visa. These
include requirements relating to:
your health
your character
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
being free of debts to the
Commonwealth of Australia
custody, accommodation and general
welfare arrangements for students under
18 years of age
your capacity to cover the cost of air
fares, course tuition fees and living costs
for you and your family members for
the duration of your stay in Australia
(the minimum living cost requirement is
AUD$18,610 per year)
your academic record and qualifications
completed
your English language proficiency
proving you are a genuine temporary
entrant.
Applying for a student visa

Student visas are divided into subclasses
depending on the type of study in which
you have enrolled. You can apply for your
student visa using either a letter of offer
or a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from
your education provider, but you usually
need to supply evidence of your CoE before
your student visa is granted. Some students
are able to apply online through the DIBP
website, while others need to apply by post
or in person at their designated Australian
visa office. The application process differs
18
depending on your assessment level, which

will be one of three levels depending on
your country of origin and the type of study
you intend to undertake (from ELICOS and
secondary school through to postgraduate
research). The higher the assessment level
(with Level 1 being the lowest and Level 3
being the highest), the greater the amount
of evidence an applicant is required to
demonstrate in order to support their
student visa application. You can check
your assessment level at
www.border.gov.au/trav/stud/stud.
Student visa applicants who lodge their
applications with a CoE from a participating
university or eligible non-university provider
for an advanced diploma, bachelor degree,
masters degree, doctoral degree, student
exchange program or study abroad
program are eligible for streamlined visa
processing. These applicants do not receive
an assessment level and are processed in a
streamlined manner with reduced evidentiary
requirements regardless of their country of
origin. For more information, see
www.border.gov.au/trav/stud/stre.
Help with your visa requirements

The best way to find out your specific
visa requirements is to visit the DIBP
website at www.border.gov.au/trav/
stud. You can also contact an education
agent, your nearest Australian visa office
or the international office at your intended
Australian institution for advice and help
with your visa application.
Fees and charges

A non-refundable base application charge of
AUD$550 applies to most visa applications.
Applicants who are bringing eligible family
members to live with them in Australia while
they study should note that an additional
applicant charge applies for each additional
family member included in a combined visa
application. This charge is added to the base
application charge and varies according
to the age of the additional applicant(s).
In addition, there may be other expenses
associated with your visa application, such
as costs for medical examinations, police
checks and the translation of documents
into English (if required).
Working in Australia
As a student visa holder, you automatically
receive permission to work with your
student visa grant. For more information,
see www.border.gov.au/trav/stud/
more/work-conditions-for-studentvisa-holders.
International students and dependent
family members are restricted to a
maximum of 40 hours of work per
fortnight while their course is in session
but are allowed to work unlimited hours
during vacation periods. This excludes
students completing masters by research
or doctoral degrees, who have unrestricted
work permissions. Before starting work, you
must obtain an Australian Tax File Number.
Application information is available on the
Australian Taxation Office website at
www.ato.gov.au.
Working in Australia has a number of
benefits for international students:
Course-related work is an advantage in
the graduate labour market.
Casual and part-time work provides a
useful income for students.
Working gives you opportunities to
practise your English language skills, meet
new people and develop useful contacts.
Your rights while working in Australia

Before commencing paid work in Australia,
you should be aware of your rights and
responsibilities as an employee. Here
are some things to watch out for when
working in Australia:
Make sure you are being paid at or above
the minimum rate of pay and that you
are subject to the workplace conditions
set for your area of employment or
award by the Fair Work Commission
(www.fwc.gov.au). It is against the law
to be paid cash in hand.
Think carefully about doing unpaid
trial work. You should be paid for all
work you undertake (unless you are
volunteering or doing work experience
arranged through your education
provider).
Take time to read through your
employment contract before you sign it.
Skilled migration
Many international students who study in Australia choose to apply for permanent
residency after they graduate. Once you complete your course, you can express your
interest in applying for permanent residency through Australias SkillSelect
migration program.
SkillSelect is an online service that allows
intending migrants to lodge an online
Expression of Interest (EOI). The EOI contains
information about their skills and attributes,
which will be assessed through a points
test (resulting in a points score). Once an
EOI is lodged, intending migrants may be
invited to lodge a skilled visa application or
nominated for a skilled visa by Australian
employers or government departments.
Skilled Independent Visa

There are different types of permanent
residency visas, but this section focuses
on the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass
189), which is designed for workers who
are not being sponsored by an employer, a
state or territory, or a family member. For
information about this visa, see
www.border.gov.au/trav/visa-1/189-.
For information about other visa options
that create pathways to permanent
residency for international students, visit
the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection (DIBP) website at
www.border.gov.au/trav/work/skil.
Eligibility requirements
In order to qualify for the Skilled
Independent Visa (Subclass 189), you must
satisfy the following basic requirements:
Invitation to apply: You must submit
an EOI through SkillSelect and be invited
to apply for a visa.
English ability: You must provide

evidence that you have competent
English in the form of English language
test results.
The points test

In addition to these requirements,
applicants must meet the points test pass
mark in order to gain permanent residency.
The pass mark is currently 60 points for the
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189).
Applicants score points relating to:
age (must be between 18 and 49)
English language ability
Australian and overseas skilled
employment experience in a nominated
skilled occupation or a closely related
skilled occupation
educational qualification level (diploma,
bachelor degree or doctorate, for
example)
Australian study (completion of one
or more Australian qualifications that
required two or more years of study in
Australia)
partners skills
accreditation in one of Australias
community languages
studying and living in regional Australia
or a low-growth metropolitan area
Age: You must be younger than 50 years

of age when you are invited to apply.
completion of a Professional Year in

Australia.
Nominated occupation: You must

nominate a skilled occupation that
matches your skills and qualifications
and is on the relevant Skilled Occupation
List (SOL). You are required to obtain
a suitable skills assessment for your
nominated occupation before making
an EOI.
How much will the visa cost?
Health: You must undergo a medical

examination and meet minimum health
requirements.
Character: You must be able to prove
that you are of good character. You
are required to sign an Australian values
20
statement and provide police certificates

and other relevant documents.
The Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass

189) has an application cost of AUD$3520.
Applicants who are bringing eligible family
members to live with them in Australia
should note that an additional applicant
charge applies. In addition to the application
cost, there may be other costs associated
with the visa, such as skills assessments,
English language testing, medical
examinations and police certificates.
How to apply
Before applying, you should research your
visa options and prepare the information
and supporting documentation required,

such as skills assessments and English
language test results. You should also check
to see whether your occupation is listed on
the relevant SOL, that you meet the basic
criteria and that you meet the points test
pass mark. You can submit your EOI for
the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)
online through the SkillSelect website, from
within Australia or overseas. When you
complete an EOI, the system will give you
a points score and results based on your
claims, which will then be processed by
SkillSelect. If you are invited to apply for a
visa, you will receive an invitation to apply
from SkillSelect. You will have 60 days to
make a valid visa application online before
the invitation expires. Because more people
want to migrate to Australia than there are
places available, not everyone who submits
an EOI will receive an invitation to apply
for a visa.
Your EOI will remain in the SkillSelect
database for a maximum of two years
after submission. During this time you can
update it if your circumstances change if
you gain any additional qualifications or
experience, for example. Any changes will
be taken into account and may increase
your ability to be invited.
Temporary Graduate Visa

Another option is the Temporary Graduate
Visa (Subclass 485), which allows eligible
international students to live and work
in Australia temporarily after completing
their course. If you do not meet the
requirements for a Skilled Independent
Visa, the Temporary Graduate Visa can
provide you with an opportunity to remain
in Australia to gain skilled work experience
or improve your English language ability,
which may increase your eligibility for
permanent residency. Applicants must have
completed at least two years of study in
Australia. The visa has two streams: the
Graduate Work Stream and the Post-study
Work Stream. Applications are submitted
through DIBP rather than SkillSelect. For
more information, see
www.border.gov.au/trav/stud/post.
Overseas Student Health Cover

International students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) so they are
covered for any medical treatment that may be required during their stay in Australia.
Why are international students required

to have OSHC?
It is a condition of your student visa that
you have continuous OSHC for the duration
of your stay in Australia. Most Australians
are covered by Australias national health
insurance program, Medicare, which covers
a significant amount of the costs required
for healthcare services. While Medicare
does not cover international students,
OSHC allows international students to
access health care without experiencing
financial hardship.
Who needs OSHC?

All international students and their family
members (partners and children under
18, for example) need OSHC. The only
exceptions are Belgian students, who are
covered by the Reciprocal Health Care
Agreement between Australia and Belgium;
Norwegian students, who are provided
with health insurance by the Norwegian
Government; and Swedish students, who
have international cover with the Swedish
National Board of Student Aid (CSN) or
Kammarkollegiet (Swedish students not
covered by these agencies will need OSHC).
New Zealand citizens residing in Australia
can access Medicare benefits.
Who offers OSHC and how much will it

cost?
The Australian Government Department of
Health has approved the following health
funds to offer OSHC:
ahm Health Insurance

cover/oshc
Medibank

nib
www.nib.com.au/overseas-students
institution or purchase it online through the

OSHC providers website. You may choose
to take out OSHC with your institutions
recommended provider or with another
provider. You should speak to the various
OSHC providers before taking out cover
to ensure that the level of cover you have
chosen meets your needs. You may wish
to compare policies from different OSHC
providers to ensure you receive the highest
benefits for the lowest cost.
What kind of services am I entitled to

through my OSHC?
Basic OSHC covers visits to the doctor,
some hospital treatment, limited
pharmaceuticals, ambulance cover, some
prosthetic devices and access to private
hospitals and day surgeries. Dental, optical
and physiotherapy treatments are not
covered by basic OSHC but are available as
extras from some OSHC providers as part
of more comprehensive OSHC cover.
How do I pay for treatment?

In most cases, OSHC will cover a good
proportion of your medical expenses. When
you receive a bill for medical treatment, you
may pay the bill and then get a refund from
your OSHC provider or have the bill sent
directly to your OSHC provider for payment.
Payment arrangements differ between
OSHC providers, so contact your provider
for more information.
Allianz Global Assistance

www.oshcallianzassistance.com.au
What if I need treatment while Im in

Australia?
The cost of OSHC differs depending on the

type of cover required. The average cost of
minimum cover is AUD$437 for 12 months
of singles cover, $1222 for 12 months of
couples cover and $2022 for 12 months
of family cover (as at July 2015). You can
have your OSHC organised for you by your
The best option is to visit a doctor or go

to the emergency department of a public
hospital. Many educational institutions
have a doctor on campus or nearby.
OSHC providers often have direct billing
relationships with medical clinics to ensure
students can access treatment with no or
minimal up-front expenses. The doctor

will refer you to a specialist or hospital
if further treatment is required. You
can choose either a public or a private
hospital, but you should contact your
OSHC provider before going to a private
hospital to check that you will be covered
for treatment. You should also contact your
OSHC provider before going to a public
hospital in a non-emergency situation or
for an elective procedure to ensure that
you are covered. In an emergency, you
should go immediately to the emergency
department of the nearest hospital, calling
an ambulance on 000 if appropriate.
How long do I need to be covered?

You must obtain OSHC for the proposed
duration of your student visa and renew
your OSHC if you extend the length of your
visa.
Can I transfer to a different OSHC

provider?
You can transfer to a different OSHC
provider at any time, but some providers
charge a fee if you transfer to a new policy
before your old one ends.
Where can I go for further information

or help?
If you need further information about
OSHC now or during your stay in Australia,
you can contact the Department of Health,
your education provider or one of the
OSHC providers listed. Information about
OSHC is available on the Department of
Health website at www.health.gov.au/

Banking in Australia
Having an Australian bank account will ensure that you have easy access to your money
to pay for your accommodation, tuition fees and living expenses, and will allow your
employer to deposit your pay into your account if you choose to work.
Banks in Australia
Automatic teller machines (ATMs)
There are four major banks in Australia:
ATMs are available throughout Australia,

allowing you to withdraw cash, check your
funds and, in some cases, make deposits.
Note that fees generally apply when
withdrawing funds from another banks
ATM (usually around AUD$2) and when
using international cards.
Australia and New Zealand Banking

Group (ANZ)
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA)
National Australia Bank (NAB)
Westpac Banking Corporation.
There are also a number of smaller
banks, including Adelaide Bank, Bank of
Queensland, Bank of Melbourne, Bankwest,
Bank SA, Bank of Western Australia,
Bendigo Bank, St George Bank, ME Bank
and Suncorp Bank.
Banks are usually open during business
hours from 9.30 am to 4 pm Monday
to Thursday and 9.30 am to 5 pm on
Fridays. Some banks and branches may
stay open longer or open on weekends.
Bank branches allow you to transfer money,
open accounts, cash travellers cheques,
order bank cheques and exchange currency,
among other financial services.
Australian currency
Australias currency is the Australian dollar
(AUD). There are bank notes for $5, $10,
$20, $50 and $100; gold-coloured coins
for $1 and $2; and silver-coloured coins for
5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents.
Prices are rounded to the nearest 5 cents
when you pay (for example, $2.93 rounds
to $2.95).
EFTPOS and other payment methods

In addition to cash, EFTPOS is available at
most stores and restaurants. EFTPOS allows
you to pay for items electronically using
your bank debit card to access money
from a savings or cheque account. You
can also withdraw cash through EFTPOS
at some stores (including supermarkets
and petrol stations). Other payment
methods include credit cards, which can
be used for purchases in store, over the
phone or online; credit debit cards (Visa
or MasterCard), which allow you to use
money from your debit account to pay
for items over the phone or online in the
same way as a credit card; and cheques,
which are typically only accepted for larger
payments such as a rental bond.
22
Bank accounts
It is a good idea to set up a transaction
account for everyday banking and a
high-interest savings account for storing
your savings. Other account types include
chequing accounts, credit accounts and
credit debit accounts. You may also wish
to open additional accounts to divide
your money for specific purposes (such as
saving for travel). Telephone and internet
banking enables you to manage your
account, transfer funds between accounts
and make payments without entering the
bank branch. To use telephone and internet
banking services, you will need to register
with your bank.
Opening a bank account in Australia

Moving to Australia can be a very busy
time, so it is best to organise your account
before you arrive so you can access your
money straight away.
The process is usually as follows:
Most banks will allow you to apply to
open an account through their website
using an online application form. You
will need to supply your passport details
when you apply.
When your application is approved, you
will be notified and given the details
of your new account so that you can
transfer money.
Once you arrive in Australia, you will
need to go into your bank and show
them your passport so that you can
access your money. At this time, you will
also receive a debit card linked to your
account and can register for telephone
and internet banking.
you should do so within six weeks of

arrival. You will need to visit a bank to
provide them with your details and show
them your passport as proof of identity.
They will then send you an account card in
the mail.
As an international student, many banks
will offer you a special student account
that does not charge monthly account fees.
You may also be allocated an international
student banker who you can contact with
any queries, and many banks will try to find
a banker who speaks your language.
Things to look for when selecting a bank

in Australia:
Are there any application fees?
Can you open an online savings
account before you arrive so you can
earn interest on the funds you send to
Australia?
Are you provided with a personal
banker? If so, does your banker speak
your language?
Are you eligible for a student account
that does not charge monthly account
fees?
Is there a minimum opening deposit
required at the time of opening an
account and a minimum balance you are
required to maintain?
Can you transfer money to Australia
with your foreign exchange provider of
choice when setting up an account?
Does the account include a Visa or
MasterCard debit card at no extra cost,
so you can shop online with your own
money?
Does your bank have a national network
of branches?
Does your bank have a large number
of ATMs? Do the banks ATMs provide
access in multiple languages?
If you would prefer to wait until you are in

Australia before opening a bank account,
Support for international students

It can be challenging to start a new course in a country that has a different academic
environment, language and culture. But theres no need to worry, as there is plenty of help
and support available to help you adjust to your studies in Australia. Remember that you
are not alone there are many international and local students in the same position.
What types of support services are

available for international students?
All institutions offering education to
international students are required by law
to provide support services to help them
study and adapt to their new home. Many
institutions have international student
advisers who can answer your questions
and direct you to the services you need. For
detailed and specific information about the
support services that Australian education
providers offer, refer to the institution
profiles within this guide.
Information and advice for
pre-departure and arrival
Most international student support units
provide information to simplify the process
of moving to Australia, which may include:
opportunity to meet other international

and Australian students. These student
groups run regular social gatherings and
organise activities (such as trips, meals and
sightseeing) to help international students
make friends and settle into their new
environment and have some fun in the
process! Some institutions also pair new
international students with a senior student
mentor, so they have someone to provide
advice and support as they adjust to their
studies in Australia.
Counselling services
Most institutions have qualified and
experienced counsellors who offer
international students free and confidential
advice on personal, social and academic
matters such as:
Information and advice for returning

home
Most institutions provide international
students who are finishing their studies
with information and advice about
returning home. Seminars and brochures
available to international students include
information about readjusting to your home
country, gaining employment, migration
and alumni services.
advice about travel arrangements,

student visas, Overseas Student Health
Cover (OSHC) and banking

group, such as a sporting club or the
international student association at your
institution.
help with organising accommodation

information about the institution, nearby
tourist attractions and life in Australia.
Orientation and study preparation
programs
Every institution runs an orientation
program for newly arrived international
students. Orientation programs are usually
held a couple of weeks before the start of
semester to give students a chance to settle
in before classes begin.
Orientation programs typically offer:
depression, anxiety and stress
academic difficulties.
Some institutions also offer support services
for family members who accompany
students to Australia.
Culture shock is the feeling of

disorientation and loneliness that you may
feel in the first couple of weeks of living in
a new environment. This is a very common
feeling and will pass when you get more
settled into your new home. Make sure you
talk to friends, family and the support staff
at your institution.
information sessions
guided campus tours
faculty-specific orientation
library tours
social activities
introduction to services and facilities
opportunities to meet academic and
other university staff and student
representatives.
Mentors and help from other students
Many education providers have student
groups that give international students the
24
because of the distinct Australian accent.

Australians use many slang expressions and
speak quickly, so asking people to slow
down or repeat what they have said may
be necessary. You can get accustomed
to the Australian style of speaking by
watching Australian films and television,
listening to the radio and talking to the
locals. See page 37 for a list of common
Australian slang terms.
Academic and English language skills

Many institutions offer academic and
English language support services, such as
individual tutoring and workshops, to help
international students adjust to their studies
and life in Australia. You might also find
English language conversation groups that
encourage local and international students
to meet and practise their language skills
while learning about other cultures.
Participate in some Australian activities

do something to give you an insight
into your new home, such as going
to an Australian Football League (AFL)
game or visiting an art gallery.
Even if English is your second language,
dont be afraid to use it! Making
mistakes is part of learning. You will find
most Australians to be friendly, open and
understanding of your English difficulties.
Australian learning methods

Studying in Australia may be very different
to studying in your home country.
Australian students are encouraged to be
independent learners this means that
students are responsible for completing set
readings, undertaking research and meeting
deadlines themselves. Academic services
will generally be available to help you adapt
to fewer contact hours; more self-directed
study (with minimal assistance); and the
active and vocal style of tutorial discussions.
Even the most skilled English speakers

may struggle to understand people at first
Scholarships and grants

There are many scholarships available for international students wishing to study in
Australia, which can provide invaluable help with funds for your study. There is strong
competition for each scholarship, so you should not rest all of your hopes on obtaining
funding, but they are definitely worth investigating.
Types of scholarships

both tuition and living costs.
Some scholarships cover the full amount,
while others cover a proportion of the total
cost or provide a one-off payment.
Ensure that you supply all documentation

required, obtaining certified and
translated copies where necessary.
Most scholarships are based on academic

merit, although there is also some funding
available for students from developing
countries, such as the Australia Awards
Scholarships. Note that some scholarships
are restricted to students who are from
certain countries, while others may be
related to a specific course, field of study
or qualification level (postgraduate degrees,
for example).
Note that some institution scholarships

do not require an application; you will be
automatically considered when you apply
for your course.
Your application should be reviewed by
somebody who speaks fluent English
scholarships committees might overlook
your application if it contains grammar
or spelling mistakes.
You should apply for as many

scholarships as possible (even if some
are for lesser amounts), as any type of
funding is better than no funding at all.
Scholarship providers
Scholarships may be offered by the
following groups:
your Australian institution
the Australian Government
government departments in your home
country
educational institutions in your home
country (especially if you are considering
exchange or study abroad in Australia)
organisations based in Australia
or your home country as well as
international organisations, including
charities, industry associations and large
companies.
Online and distance education

Advances in technology have led to the expansion of online and distance education
opportunities in Australia. You can now complete a wide selection of Australian
qualifications from the convenience of your home.
What is online and distance education?
Online and distance education programs
allow international students to obtain an
Australian education without having to
leave their home country, which may not
be possible for some people with family,
work and other commitments. You may
also have the option of combining study at
home with some study in Australia. You can
choose from a large range of vocational
and higher education courses from
business to humanities at a number of
institutions.
Course delivery
Online and distance education courses
are delivered in a variety of ways. Options
include studying online courses; studying
through distance education, with course
materials delivered by mail or email;
studying at home combined with some
class attendance at overseas campuses
set up by your Australian institution; or

studying at home combined with some
attendance at classes delivered by partner
institutions outside Australia. While some
providers allow essays and exams to be
submitted online, others require students to
complete exams at overseas venues.
electronic library resources, allowing you

to interact with other students, share your
work and opinions, access readings, listen
to lectures, consult tutors and submit
assessments. You may also be able to
access support services such as counselling,
academic advice and technical assistance.
Many institutions provide flexibility through

part-time study as well as trimester and
term systems that allow you to spread out
or accelerate your studies. Some providers
may allow you to enrol in single units
(rather than an entire course) to trial a
particular area of study. Online and distance
education also makes it possible to begin
study in your home country before moving
to Australia to study on campus.
Entry requirements
Student support
Online and distance courses are often
supported by technology such as online
student forums, virtual classrooms and
International student entry requirements

(such as academic and English language
requirements) for online and distance
education courses will typically be the same,
or very similar, to those for the on-campus
equivalent of the course. You will need to
check with individual institutions for specific
course entry requirements and starting
times some courses allow you to apply
and start studying at any time, while others
have set dates.

Student accommodation
Australia has a large range of accommodation options available to international students.
With choices ranging from university accommodation or homestay to self-catered
apartments or share houses, theres an option to suit every personality and budget.
26
Help with finding accommodation
Availability and cost
Many Australian education providers

have accommodation services that offer
information and advice about the different
accommodation options and help students
find appropriate accommodation to suit
their needs. This service may also be able
to arrange temporary accommodation for
students when they first arrive in Australia.
Students can contact their institutions
accommodation service before their arrival
in Australia to arrange this.
The cost and availability of accommodation

in Australia depends on the type you
choose. For instance, on-campus
accommodation is very popular and
requires students to apply for a room well
in advance, whereas rental accommodation
tends to be more readily available and can
often be organised when you arrive. You
will also find that costs and availability vary
between states and territories, as well as
between metropolitan and regional areas.
Prior to your arrival in Australia, it is

important to contact your education
institutions accommodation service and
ask about what is available and the costs
involved.
Below is a table outlining the various
accommodation options on offer in
Australia and their costs. Cost estimates
were sourced from the Australian
Governments Study in Australia website in
2015 at www.studyinaustralia.gov.au.
Type of
accommodation
Description
Boarding schools
Many private secondary schools offer students fully catered boarding options, meaning that meals, cleaning and laundry
services are provided. Boarding costs may also cover academic tutoring and social activities after school, with most
schools providing a supportive family atmosphere. Depending on the school, there may be shared or private rooms.
Tuition fees are charged in addition to the boarding fees. On average, boarding school accommodation fees are around
AUD$10,000 to $20,000 per year.
Homestay
Homestay accommodation gives international students the option of living with an Australian family in their home.
Single or shared rooms may be available, and costs vary according to the type of room (usually around AUD$110 to
$270 per week). Meals are usually included in the cost, although self-catered homestay is also available. This type of
accommodation is popular with secondary students and those studying short-term English courses. Most accommodation
services at Australian institutions keep a register of approved and reputable homestay providers.
On-campus
accommodation
The prices and accommodation options at residential colleges, halls of residence and apartments vary between
institutions, so you should contact the institution youre interested in for full details. These options are very popular, so its
a good idea to apply early. On average, on-campus accommodation costs around AUD$80 to $250 per week.
Residential
colleges
Residential colleges provide accommodation, meals, cleaning and a wide range of support services for social and
academic needs. They are generally more expensive than halls of residence because of the range of facilities and support
services offered. Most offer private rooms, with shared bathrooms, dining halls and recreation areas.
Halls of
residence
Halls of residence also offer accommodation and a lively social atmosphere, but with fewer facilities and services included.
Some meals and cleaning services may be included, but self-catering facilities are provided, enabling students to be more
independent. Most offer private rooms, with shared bathrooms, kitchens and recreation areas.
Apartments
Some institutions also offer apartments for rent either close to or on campus. This provides students with the security
of institution-approved accommodation, but with the increased freedom of fully self-catered living. Single and shared
apartments are usually available. Apartments are popular with students in the later years of their degrees.
Hostels and
guesthouses
Many students use hostels and guesthouses as temporary accommodation. Most offer private rooms, with shared kitchen
and bathroom facilities. Residents cook for themselves. This type of accommodation tends to be cheaper than on-campus
accommodation (at around AUD$80 to $135 per week) and still provides good opportunities for social interaction.
Rental
accommodation
Many students choose to rent a property by themselves or share the cost of a rental property with housemates. You
may move into an existing household or set up a household with some friends. Rental properties are rarely furnished,
so you will generally have to provide some or all of your own furniture. Rental agreements usually require payment of
rent in advance, as well as a security payment called a bond (usually one months rent) that is paid up-front. You will
also need to pay bills for electricity, gas and water. Your institutions accommodation service can help with finding rental
accommodation and provide information about your rights and obligations. Rental properties or rooms are advertised
on student noticeboards, websites (such as www.realestate.com.au and www.domain.com.au) and in newspapers.
On average, rental accommodation costs around AUD$100 to $400 per week and shared rental accommodation costs
around AUD$70 to $250 per week.
International students in Australia

Australia is a popular study destination with students from around the world wishing to
gain a high-quality education. Each year, many new international students take up courses in
Australia and add to the already significant international student body around the country.

Which sectors are they studying in?

Most international students in Australia are
studying in the higher education sector,
followed by the Vocational Education
and Training (VET) sector and the English
Language Intensive Courses for Overseas
Students (ELICOS) sector.
Data also shows that ELICOS continues to
provide a popular pathway for international
students moving into the VET and higher
education sectors. In 2014, 29 per cent of
international students who commenced
a higher education course had previously
studied in the ELICOS sector, while 36

Tan Chun Kee Malaysia
Jessica Choner Gonzalez Colombia
Joo Tom Portugal
Secondary school
ELICOS
Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media
I am Tan Chun Kee, currently studying the

International Baccalaureate at The Kilmore
International School. I have had a desire
to study abroad since I was small. The
reason why I decided to study in Australia is
mainly because the country provides good
education and has a variety of culture so
that I can acquire a deeper knowledge and
learn different traditions. I am also proud
that I have chosen to enrol in The Kilmore
International School. The setting of the
school fascinates me, which allows me to
stay focused on my study.
I came to Australia because it is a

multicultural country with a lot of
advantages for international students, and
I studied at TAFE because a friend from
Colombia recommended it to me. I totally
recommend BNIT because I was in a lot
of institutes trying to learn English and I
couldnt, and here was the first time that I
really learned.
Ive been studying at Central Institute

of Technology and living in Perth for 17
months now. Before coming to Perth, I
worked for various theatres in Portugal and
Spain as a light designer. I also worked for
Portuguese TV station TVI Channel 4 as a
camera, jimmy jib, vertical work and dolly
operator.
Besides that, the school also provides a

range of facilities that enable the students
to utilise their extra time properly, such
as participating in a soccer match with a
local school. This also provides a deeper
understanding on the Australian culture,
which is one of my aims of studying in
Australia.
Even though I do not attend any extra
English language programs, I am aware
of significant improvements in my English.
One of the reasons is that I am sharing a
boarding house with other students from
different countries, which is an opportunity
for me to learn and utilise the language by
communicating with friends.
After studying in Victoria for three years,
I have found it is a good place to live
and study because the people in Victoria
are friendly and its natural setting can
contribute both socially and academically
during my secondary study. I highly
recommend students who are interested
in studying abroad to study in Australia. It
is not that easy to study abroad alone, but
I am still able to cope with a completely
strange environment. Finally, I want to
advise that nothing is impossible; be
confident and do your best to achieve your
goal!
28
In the class we have so many different

activities. We have listening, reading,
writing and speaking sessions. Each one is
challenging, and we are split into different
groups depending on our individual needs
and which skills we need to improve. For
example, I was in an IELTS group, casual
conversations, grammar and listening, as
well as general English, reading, idioms and
job interview. Every term we have some
excursions or activities outdoors.
All the staff are excellent. They are
always kind, and they give me all the
tools to learn. We have a lot of tutors
that help us all the time. In addition, we
have a wonderful teacher who knows
our process and works with us as a
class and individually. I have met a lot of
different people. My classmates are from
everywhere, and I can practise and improve
my speaking skills with them.
I study social communication and
journalism in Colombia. Before I came here
my English level was very basic. Now I can
go back to Colombia and finish my degree.
I will have the ability to communicate in
English in my country, and it will be an
important advantage for me as a journalist.
The main reason for coming to Perth was

to obtain an Advanced Diploma of Screen
and Media and explore opportunities in
media here in Australia. I chose to study at
Central Institute as it is a very hands-on,
practical course, which is more exciting
than learning theory at university. You will
be more prepared for the workplace, and
the people at Central Institute are very
accommodating to all students.
Because of my experience and my
connections through Central Institute I am
actually in demand as a cameraman here
in Perth and I work for several film and TV
companies on a regular basis
I was one of a team of students selected
to work on a series of DVDs to market to
international students and assist them with
settling into Perth.
The highlight of the project for me was the
day we filmed the Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Support Office in Central
Institutes newest building. I got to have
fun and develop shots, such as dolly shots
and other cinema techniques. It was a realworld experience.
Youngsuk Yun South Korea
Lillian Zeng (Manyin) China
Dristi Hamal Nepal
Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery
Bachelor of Information Technology

(Network and Systems Computing)
Master of Business Administration/Master

of Professional Accounting
I come from Guangdong Province in the

south-east part of China. I did my diploma
in information technology at Henan
University and I came to Australia to study a
bachelor degree in information technology
at Victoria University (VU). In addition to
IT, I have a great passion for singing and
music.
I have always lived and studied close to

home, so coming to Australia was a unique
experience. As uncertain as I was to travel
to a new country, I was nonetheless excited
to face the challenges and ventured on
my journey to Australia to pursue my
undergraduate studies five years ago.
Invariably, international students go through
some hardship adapting to a foreign culture
and new lifestyle but I havent looked
back since.
I first came to Perth on a working holiday

visa three years ago and I loved the city and
its lifestyle straight away, so I decided to
come back and pursue my studies here.
Perth is very different from Seoul it is a
lot smaller and less crowded. Its also easy
and cheap to get around. Buses called
CAT are free, so its very convenient to
hop on and off and travel around the city.
The weather is beautiful in Perth. Most of
the time it is sunny.
I like living here because it provides a very
unique experience. The people are also
very kind and friendly, I dont feel like Im a
stranger here.
Im currently studying commercial cookery,
but I have also completed a Diploma of
Hospitality at the same school.
Im very happy with my school. All the
lecturers and admin staff are very helpful.
The facilities at the school are also very
modern. We have computer labs, wireless
internet throughout the school and a
commercial kitchen where the cookery
students can practise.
I live with a friend in East Perth, not far
from my school and the city centre. When
I am not at school I work in a restaurant
three days a week. I got this job through
my school.
I love living and studying in Perth. I enjoy
my course, I have improved my English
and I have made many friends from many
countries.
My advice for international students is to
just come and experience the Perth way of
life you wont regret it!
VU cooperates with Henan University,

where I completed my diploma. My lecturer
recommended that I come to Victoria
University to study.
As an international student, I would say the
friendly physical and cultural environment
is the best thing about studying here its
key to helping me fit in at a new place as
quickly as I can and enjoy the life I am living
in Australia. Melbourne is a fresh, relaxed
and positive place to study.
Most lecturers are kind and responsible.
I am learning skills like communication and
interpretation, and dealing with people
from different backgrounds. I am also
learning important skills like how to express
myself and manage my time appropriately.
While studying I have received advice
from the career department, including a
rsum check; had assistance with writing
support at the library; and have used
other equipment and support for study.
I have also been involved in an IBM mentor
program. I got my first job ever as a student
rover at VU, assisting other students in the
Learning Commons.
I study at Footscray Park and work in the
city with my student rover job. I really
enjoy the campuses, especially their perfect
environment for study.
I want to finish university with good results
and try to apply the academic theory and
skills Ive learnt to improve my life and get
a stable job that I like and enjoy.
Australia is a beautiful country vibrant

with a unique diversity affording peace and
harmony, even in its vastly multicultural
society. Further, the education system is
highly regarded and recognised as one of
the best in the world.
I am now pursuing my postgraduate studies
at Australian Catholic University (ACU). I
chose ACU because it offered a double
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
degree, which was unique when compared
to other university programs. ACU also has
great support services for students, and
under this regime I am currently employed
at ACU to facilitate and support other
students. The lecturers at ACU are also
friendly and helpful. The courses offered are
both academic and innovative while being
practical and useful.
Not everyone is privileged or has the chance
to study abroad and find success, but if
you can, I highly recommend everyone to
take it! I am lucky to have met people from
different parts of the world and some are
surely going to be friends for life.
My advice to students interested in studying
in Australia is to first research your course,
university and the city in which you want to
live. Then soak up the relaxed culture and
lifestyle and enjoy everything Australia has
to offer! I encourage you to follow every
rainbow until you find your dream! You will
make memories for a lifetime.

Student timeline
Tasks to complete
THREE YEARS PRIOR TO STUDY

RESEARCH It is never too early to start conducting the important initial research that will help you to decide on the right
study destination, institution and course for you. Institution websites, this Guide and the Studies in Australia website at
www.StudiesInAustralia.com are the best places to find this information.
18 MONTHS PRIOR TO STUDY

CHECK THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Check the academic and English language requirements for entry to your course prior
to applying. You can generally do this via the institutions website or by calling the international student office.
ORGANISE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TESTING (IF NECESSARY) Ask your institution whether you will need to demonstrate
your English language proficiency, which tests they accept and what score you will need. If you require testing, you should
register for the test about 18 months prior to commencing your studies because you will need the results in order for your
student visa to be processed, and many tests require applicants to register three months prior to taking the test. It is important
not to register too early because institutions typically only accept test results that are less than two years old.
12 TO 14 MONTHS PRIOR TO STUDY

APPLY Generally speaking, institutions dont set specific deadlines for international student applications, but it is best to
apply as early as possible so that you have time to organise a visa, flights and accommodation. You can have the forms posted
to you, apply online through the institutions website or apply through an education agent or at an education fair.
COMPLETE AND SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION It can take a few weeks to complete the application when you need to
obtain supporting documentation and get certified copies (or certified translations) made. Most institutions take between four
and six weeks to assess applications.
10 TO 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO STUDY

ACCEPT YOUR OFFER Once you have received your letter of offer you will need to accept it before it lapses. Read the offer
very carefully to make sure that course details and fee amounts are correct. Students with unconditional offers are free to
accept the offer and make their first tuition payment to the provider, while those with conditional offers will need to satisfy
other conditions before they are able to enrol.
MEET THE CONDITIONS If you receive a conditional offer of enrolment, you will need to find out what conditions need to
be met (usually supplying evidence of English language proficiency or overseas qualifications) and return certified copies of all
necessary documentation to the institution by the date stipulated.
APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA Visa processing through the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) or an
Australian visa office in your home country can take up to 12 weeks, so apply as soon as you receive your letter of offer or
Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). The application process and the processing time differ depending on your assessment level.
You can find more information about the visa application process and assessment levels on page 18.
ORGANISE YOUR OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER (OSHC) OSHC is a necessary requirement for all international
students (except those from Belgium, Sweden, Norway and New Zealand) and must be maintained for the duration of your
studies in Australia. Purchase your OSHC as soon as you have received your letter of offer (at the same time as you apply for
your student visa) because you will need to have OSHC in order to satisfy the grant of your student visa and accept your offer.
See page 21 for more information.
THREE TO FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO STUDY

ORGANISE YOUR ACCOMMODATION It is best to do this as soon as you have received your offer and your student visa
has been granted so you can secure your preferred accommodation. See page 26 for more information.
BOOK YOUR FLIGHT You can book your flight once your institution and visa applications are approved and
accommodation arrangements have been made. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to settle in before classes start and
that your arrival date coordinates with international student orientation sessions and your accommodation check-in date.
TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO STUDY

ORGANISE AIRPORT PICK-UP Many providers offer a free airport pick-up service for international students. If this is not
provided, you will need to make your own arrangements. At this point you should also confirm your arrival date and time with
your accommodation provider so you can be sure that they are expecting you.

Task
complete
If you are planning to study in Australia, there are many things to organise (institution
applications, student visas and Overseas Student Health Cover, just to name a few), and
most of it needs to be done well in advance. You can use this checklist to make sure you
are prepared. Tick off each task as you complete it and you should be well on your way to
studying in Australia.
Note: This timeline is a guide only. Please check with your Australian education provider and the Department of Immigration and Border Protection for your specic requirements.

When you arrive in Australia, you may find that daily life is very different to your home
country. Here are some tips to help you adjust to life in Australia.
Australian culture
You will probably notice some lifestyle
differences between Australia and your
home country. Here are some insights into
Australian culture:
Australians are quite casual and informal.
For example, most Australian students
refer to their lecturers and tutors by their
first names.
Australians expect everyone to be
treated equally. It is customary to thank
shop assistants and other service staff
when they assist you.
It is important to be on time in Australia
it is polite to call if you are going to
be late for an appointment.
Smoking is not permitted in restaurants,
bars, nightclubs and many other public
covered areas, such as train stations.
Littering is prohibited, as is drinking
alcohol in a public place.
Most Australians will be happy to help you
if youre unsure of something.
Communications
Staying in touch with your family and
friends is easy. There are many mobile
phone providers in Australia (including
Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Virgin
Mobile), each offering an extensive range
of mobile phones and payment options.
Phone cards offering cheap rates for
overseas calls are widely available.
Your education provider will generally have
free internet and computer services. Public
libraries also offer computer facilities, often
at no cost, and you may be able to find
free wi-fi in cafs and restaurants. If you
wish to have the internet connected at
home, you can organise this through one
of the many service providers (the main
32
ones being Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, iiNet

and TPG).
Post offices are typically open from 9 am
to 5 pm on weekdays (although some
have extended hours and are also open
on Saturdays). Australia Post sends letters
and packages around the world, generally
in less than a week for international post
and overnight for destinations within
metropolitan Australia.
Shopping
Australians love to shop. Major towns
and capital cities have shopping facilities
such as supermarkets, convenience stores,
markets, department stores, discount
stores, chain retailers and small luxury
boutiques. Shopping destinations include
shopping centres and malls, as well as
outdoor shopping strips. Most larger stores
and shopping centres in metropolitan areas
are open from 9 am to 5 pm seven days
a week, with some offering late-night
shopping until 9 pm or later on Thursdays
or Fridays. Other retailers may have more
limited hours or close on weekends. Some
supermarkets and convenience stores are
open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Major grocery stores in Australia include
Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA; major
department stores include Myer and David
Jones; and major discount department
stores include Target, Big W and Kmart.
Electrical appliances
The electricity current in Australia is
240/250 volts (AC 50 Hz). Australia uses a
three-pin plug, so you will need an adaptor
plug for appliances brought from home. If
your appliances do not operate at 240/250
volts, you will also need a voltage converter.
Adaptor plugs and voltage converters are
easy to find once you arrive in Australia.
Leisure
Australians value their leisure time and take
advantage of the countrys great climate
by spending a lot of time outside having
barbeques with friends, bushwalking,
camping or going to the beach. They also
like to dine out and go to the cinema in
their leisure time. Sport is a big passion for
many Australians especially home-grown
Australian Rules Football (AFL), cricket,
rugby and tennis. Joining a sporting club
is a great way to make friends. Australia
also has a vibrant cultural scene, with
many art galleries, museums, theatres and
music venues around the country. Music,
fashion, arts and food festivals are also
held throughout the year. A good way to
get started is to see what kind of social
activities are organised by your education
provider.
Food
Due to its multicultural heritage, Australia
offers a fantastic variety of food from
all over the world at restaurants, cafs
and takeaway shops. Australia is also
renowned for its high-quality fresh produce
(including meat, seafood, dairy, wine,
fruit and vegetables), which is available
at markets and supermarkets. Bakeries,
butchers shops, fruit and vegetable shops,
delicatessens, international food stores and
other specialty food retailers are common
throughout the country, so it wont be
difficult to find everything you need to
cook your favourite foods at home.

life savers, and always swim between the
red and yellow flags.
When swimming or bushwalking, take
note of any warning signs, seek local
advice and let someone know exactly
where you are going.
Transport
driving regulations and age restrictions in

each state and territory, so its important to
familiarise yourself with the road rules.
Australias public transport system includes

trains, buses, trams, ferries and taxi
services. The type of transport available
varies between cities. Your education
provider will give you details of local
public transport and ticketing information
when you arrive. While larger capital
cities typically offer a number of transport
options, transport is generally more limited
in regional areas, often consisting of a local
bus service. Check with your institution to
see whether you qualify for student travel
concessions. Each state and territory has a
public transport website:
Safety

About Australia
Australia is truly unique it is the largest island on Earth and also the worlds sixth largest
country. Australias population currently stands at approximately 23.8 million people, with
about a quarter of the population born overseas.
Culture and society
Australias vibrant multiculturalism stems
from a combination of Indigenous cultures,
early European settlement and mass
immigration.
Darwin
Australia is proud of the diversity of its

people and enjoys the variety of different
cultures and foods that this provides.
Australia is also a secular country, meaning
that there is no official religion. Each
capital city has places of worship for
religions from around the world. Australians
value freedom, diversity, equality and
peacefulness.

History
The earliest human population arrived
on the Australian continent more than
40,000 years ago when Indigenous tribes
migrated from an unknown region of Asia.
Australias Indigenous people have the
oldest living cultural history in the world.
Indigenous communities keep their cultural
heritage alive by passing their knowledge,
arts, rituals and performances from one
generation to another; speaking and
teaching languages; protecting cultural
materials; and looking after sacred and
significant sites such as Uluru in the
Northern Territory.
European exploration of Australia began
in 1606 when a Spanish navigator sailed
through the Torres Strait, which separates
Australia from Papua New Guinea. Dutch,
Portuguese and British explorers followed
and began to map the continent. The
European settlement of Australia began in
1788 when the British established a penal
colony at Botany Bay now Sydney, the
largest city in Australia. The colony grew
as free settlers and migrants arrived in
Australia hoping to make a better life.
Climate
Australias climate varies greatly across the
country. About 40 per cent of the northern
part of the country lies in the tropics,
which experiences a distinct wet season
(from December to March) and dry season
(from May to October). The climate in the
southern part of the country is temperate,
with cool winters, hot summers and four
distinct seasons. Australia is in the Southern
Hemisphere, so the summer months are

December, January and February, and the

winter months are June, July and August.
Nearly 90 per cent of Australians live
around the countrys coastal edges, where
ocean breezes bring the temperature down.
Australia is so large that it enjoys a range
of climatic conditions and geographical
regions from dry deserts to snowy alpine
areas and rainforests.
Government
Australia is a democracy, and vigorous
debate is a strong part of the political
process. All Australians aged over 18 are
required to vote in local, state and federal
elections. The Commonwealth of Australia
is a constitutional monarchy under a
parliamentary democracy, and the formal
head of state is the United Kingdoms
Queen Elizabeth II. The leader of the
government is known as the Prime Minister.
The Commonwealth Government governs
the whole of Australia, and the Australian
Constitution defines its responsibilities.
Responsibilities include matters of quarantine,
defence, telecommunications, taxes and
Hobart
welfare. You can find more information

about the Australian Government at
www.australia.gov.au. Each state and
territory government works in cooperation
with the Australian Government and is
responsible for matters such as police,
education, roads and transport. Local
governments are responsible for local
matters such as garbage collection,
recreation facilities and building regulations.
The Australian flag

The official Australian flag was designed in
1901, when Australias six colonies became
a federation. The Union Jack represents
Australias links to England. The large
seven-pointed star represents the states
and territories. The five stars on the right
represent the Southern Cross constellation,
which you can see in the Australian night
sky. The Indigenous Australian flag and the
Torres Strait Islander flag are also officially
recognised as flags of Australia.

English language studies

Overseas students coming to study English in Australia will find themselves immersed in English
language and culture. Australia is proud of the reputation and quality of its English Language
Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS).
Who offers ELICOS?
ELICOS programs are offered by secondary
schools, TAFE institutes, universities, private
colleges and specialist English language
centres.
All prospective providers must register with
the National English Language Teaching
Accreditation Scheme (NEAS) before they
can offer ELICOS courses. NEAS maintains
the high standards of Australias ELICOS
courses and monitors providers to ensure
that they continue to provide a high-quality
education. You can find full details of the
accreditation process and a list of accredited
providers at www.neas.org.au.
Education providers who wish to
offer courses to international students
are also regulated through the Education
Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act
2000 and associated legislation, which
requires these institutions to register
with the Commonwealth Register of
Institutions and Courses for Overseas
Students (CRICOS). You can find further
information about the ESOS Act at
https://internationaleducation.gov.au
and a list of CRICOS-registered providers at
http://cricos.education.gov.au.
Courses and qualifications

Institutions offer a wide range of courses
suited to all learning needs, which can
range in length from four weeks to 48
weeks. Courses include:
General English
English for academic purposes
English for secondary school preparation
English for special purposes (English for
business, for example)
IELTS and TOEFL test preparation
Cambridge test preparation
study tour programs, which include
other extracurricular activities.
Many students complete ELICOS study
in order to meet the English language
requirements for entry to Vocational
Education and Training (VET) and higher
education courses. For information about
bridging and foundation courses,
see page 85.
Average tuition costs

English language training costs start from
around AUD$300 per week.
These figures were sourced from the

website in 2015 at
www.studyinaustralia.gov.au. Please
note that ELICOS costs vary significantly
depending on the course duration and
institution, so it is important to check with
the relevant provider.
Australian student visa application. The

test is widely offered (available at testing
locations in 165 countries) and is given on
fixed dates more than 50 times a year.
You can find further details at
www.ets.org/toefl.
Entry requirements
The IELTS test comes in two formats:

academic and general training. All test
candidates take the same speaking and
listening modules, but candidates have
the option of general training or academic
reading and writing modules. Academic
modules are aimed at students wishing to
study at university level. General training
modules emphasise basic survival skills in
a broad social and educational context
and are suited to candidates wishing to
immigrate, attend secondary school or
undertake training programs not at degree
level. You can find further details at
www.ielts.org.
Students coming to Australia on a student

visa to study ELICOS are required to study
full time. Entry requirements vary according
to the level of English language course
you want to study, with some catering
for beginners and some requiring more
advanced English language skills. You
should check entry requirements with your
chosen institution. Tourists and visitors to
Australia can also participate in ELICOS
study during their stay. Courses combining
study and tourist activities have been
designed specifically for student visitors.
You can find details of visa requirements on
the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection website at www.border.gov.au.
English proficiency tests

There are a number of tests in Australia
designed to assess the English language
proficiency of international students
wishing to gain entry to Australian courses.
Five tests are also accepted for Australian
student visa applications: the TOEFL test,
the IELTS test, the Cambridge English:
Advanced (CAE) test, the Occupational
English Test (OET) and the Pearson Test of
English (PTE) Academic test. See www.
border.gov.au/trav/stud/more/studentvisa-english-language-requirements for
more information.
Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL)
The TOEFL test is recognised by institutions
in more than 130 countries throughout the
world. It examines the ability of candidates
to understand and use English to the
level that it is spoken, written and heard
in a university setting. The test takes two
formats: the more common internet-based
test (iBT) is administered online, while the
paper-based test (PBT) is completed in test
centres that do not have internet access.
The PBT is currently being phased out.
TOEFL iBT test scores (and TOEFL PBT scores
from certain countries) can be used to meet
the required language component of the
International English Language Testing

System (IELTS)
Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE)

The Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE)
exams assess English language proficiency
for admission to university and other
courses. The exams are recognised around
the world by universities, employers and
national education authorities. You can find
further details at www.cambridgeenglish.

education students and is split into
speaking and writing, reading and listening
segments. It aims to be fast and flexible,
enabling candidates to book 24 hours in
advance and have results delivered in five
days. You can find further details at

The English Language Centre (ELC) is based at the Armidale campus of UNE. As one of Australias
oldest universities, UNE has a 77-year tradition of excellence in teaching, learning and research.
Studying at the ELC on the UNE campus, students enjoy a perfect balance between high
educational standards and an outstanding lifestyle.
About Us
Student Services
The UNE English Language Centre is a

fully accredited, university-based language
centre with modern teaching materials,
facilities and methods. As an integral
part of the university, students can
progress from basic language learning to
internationally recognised undergraduate
and postgraduate degrees on the same
campus.
UNE International (UNEI) provides support

for all international students enrolled at
UNE. UNEI provides students with a link
between the administrative and academic
functions of the university during their
enrolment and assists students to access
academic support and pastoral care services
offered by the university.
One of the greatest benefits of studying

at the UNE English Language Centre is
the relaxed lifestyle of the campus and
Armidale in general. Armidale is a friendly,
vibrant community and is complemented
by a surrounding landscape of rolling hills
and masses of eucalyptus trees that lead
to dramatic gorges and waterfalls within
easy distance of the city itself. With an
easy-going and unpolluted environment, it
is the ideal place for students to live while
studying.

UNEI also assists students with issues

related to accommodation (including

UNEI can also refer students to additional
support services available at UNE, including
counselling, academic skills and medical
services.
Courses
General English (GE)
The GE course is for any student from a
non-English-speaking background. Basic
communication skills in English are an
advantage but the ELC caters for all English
language abilities. The GE course also
provides entry into English for Academic
Purposes (EAP) for students who do not
initially meet the EAP entry requirements.
English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
EAP is for students who wish to develop
English language proficiency and study
skills for tertiary study in Australia. The
EAP course offers direct entry into UNE for

those students who meet the academic
requirements of their chosen UNE
program but lack the English language
proficiency needed for entry. EAP can also
be undertaken by students who wish to
improve their English language skills to an
advanced level, but do not necessarily wish
to undertake further tertiary study.
Introductory Academic Program (IAP)
IAP is designed for students who are
intending to study at an Australian
university for the first time. It is also
for students who wish to update their
study skills and English language skills
prior to commencing undergraduate or
postgraduate study. The IAP program is
ideal for students who meet university entry
requirements or who have accepted a place
at university in Australia and require study
assistance to meet their academic goals.

Secondary education
Australia is a popular secondary school destination for overseas students. In addition to offering a
high-quality, internationally recognised education, Australia also provides a safe, comfortable and
multicultural environment. An Australian education aims to provide students with the skills for
future study and employment anywhere in the world.
The International Baccalaureate (IB)
Secondary education student profile
Australias secondary schools adhere to

a national curriculum framework, which
is being progressively developed and
implemented in schools to set high national
standards in English, mathematics, science,
history, languages, geography, the arts,
health and physical education, information
and communication technology, civics and
citizenship, economics and business.
The IB Diploma Programme is a two-year

pre-university course for highly motivated
students from 16 to 19 years of age.
Universities around the world recognise
the qualification. There are also programs
for middle years students (aged 11 to 16)
and primary years students (aged three
to 12). The International Baccalaureate
organisation must officially approve schools
before they can offer IB programs. There
are 150 IB-authorised schools in Australia.
For more information, go to www.ibo.org.
Ellen Chen China
In order to gain accreditation to accept

international students, a school must
provide, or have access to, specialist English
language programs. Across the different
states and territories, the final years of
secondary school have a different name
(see below).
Different schools offer different elective
subjects, class structures and areas of
specialisation. In addition to the subjects
offered, its a good idea to research the
schools focus and extracurricular activities
to help you find the school most suited
to your needs and interests. You can find
further information about senior secondary
qualifications in Australia at
www.aqf.edu.au.
Vocational training in schools
An increasing number of Australian
schools offer Vocational Education and
Training (VET) subjects as part of their
school curriculum. These subjects allow
students to gain practical, work-based skills
while completing their senior secondary
education and are part of Australias
commitment to providing a balanced
education that prepares students for life

which may include sporting achievement
and other extracurricular accomplishments.
Further study
The successful completion of senior

When I came to
Wesley College,
the International
Office helped me
to find a homestay
and answered my
questions about
life and school in
Melbourne.
I settled easily into Wesley life, becoming
a member of the International Relations
Club and helping organise different events
at school, such as the International Dinner
and Cultural Diversity Week. At school,
having an English as a Second Language
(ESL) support teacher in economics and
accounting has been very helpful and
enabled me to understand more in class.
Before coming to Wesley I completed an
ELICOS course that assisted in developing
my English language skills, and since being
at Wesley, being immersed in an Englishspeaking environment, my English has
improved even further.
I love Wesley College for quite a few
reasons. There are many activities that
make life interesting. There is sport, drama,
music, art, debating and many more to
choose from. Another activity that is special
is visiting the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio
School in the Kimberley, Western Australia.
I spent three weeks there with Aboriginal
students and experienced a totally new
culture.
During the school term, I live with a
homestay family who have made me feel
very welcome. It is a home away from
home. In addition, living in Melbourne
is really relaxing. I have met people who
come from all over the world and have
been introduced to a variety of cultures.
Studying in Australia is a wonderful
experience, and it has made me more
independent and allowed me to see things
from a different perspective. I highly
recommend it.

About Us
Caulfield Grammar School is one of very

few schools in metropolitan Melbourne
(and the only member of the Victorian
Association of Public Schools) to offer
boarding facilities to both girls and boys
sisters and brothers.
Caulfield Grammar School is a school

with a true international perspective.
The schools own international campus
in China, its custom of reaching out to
best-practice schools from around the
world to share ideas and, importantly, the
understanding of the valuable exchange
that occurs through inviting international
students to study at Caulfield Grammar
are examples of this. It encourages cultural
diversity and internationalism, and has for
many years allocated places to girls and
boys from overseas.
Families may also wish to consider homestay

arrangements as an alternative to boarding.
Courses
Professional development/specialist
teachers and coaches
As one school with five campuses, Caulfield

Grammar offers a broader range of learning
experiences and resources than is available
at most schools. The shared expertise of a
large group of specialist staff, top-quality
facilities and the support of a large
community network are clear advantages
for students.
Caulfield Grammar has links with
Melbournes major universities, providing
students with the opportunity to undertake
first-year university subjects whilst still
attending secondary school.
Student Services
Girls and boys can board at the schools
Caulfield Campus, where accommodation
is provided for approximately 100 students
from Australia and overseas. The head of
boarding, the deputy head of boarding,
their families and residential staff ensure
that boarders are helped to feel secure in a
supportive and caring environment.
Specialist teachers and coaches operate

in all areas of the learning program.
Teachers are supported by the schools own
strategic and focused weekly professional
development sessions an approach
to deliver quality teaching and therefore
quality learning for all students.
VCE from Year 10
Year 10 students at Caulfield Grammar are
able to include in their course of study VCE
units suited to their interests and abilities.
This means in effect that the VCE is spread
over three years rather than two, enabling
students to best tailor their learning for
these three critical senior years.
Learning journeys
At Year 9, a range of holistic, active,
experiential programs are designed to
engage students with real-world learning.
Problem-based learning experiences are
created to suit students development.
Learning Journeys involves learning by
doing, and applies skills and concepts learnt
in core subjects to real personal and societal

challenges.
Internationalism
Year 9 students are offered the amazing
opportunity of living and learning in
another country for five weeks, based at
the schools Nanjing Campus in China.
Internationalism recognises that Caulfields
students are members of a growing global
community. Our belief is that the most
effective means of preparing students for
this challenge is through the intensive study
of another culture.
SECONDARY EDUCATION
Since 1881, Caulfield Grammar School has been shaping the future of young women and men by
providing education of renowned excellence. It is recognised as one of Australias most influential
independent, coeducational day and boarding schools.
Earth studies
Historically, the Yarra Junction Campus
(or YJ, as it is affectionately known)
has always been the site for education
outdoors, adventure activities and farm
studies (the campus includes a commercial
dairy farm), but in more recent times the
campus has also become an exemplar of
sustainable living. The Earth Studies Centre
and the students eco-cabins are powered
by renewable resources, and learning
activities explore students impact on their
environment.
Learning mentors
Caulfield Grammar School has introduced
an extra teacher to every Year 7 and
Year 8 class. Each girl and boy now has a
learning mentor who closely monitors and
supports them in their academic and social
development. That means two qualified
teachers in core classes a subject
specialist and a learning mentor.

and a gymnasium, are provided on campus
or close to the school.

comprehensive and stimulating. The Year
9 and 10 preparatory years, during which
specific subjects may be given special
attention, prepares students for the
two-year IBDP course. The school also
offers many languages at both non-native
and native speaker levels, including English,
Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian,
Thai, Korean, French and German. All
IB Diploma candidates are required to
engage in the study of languages, sciences,
mathematics and humanities.
Established in 1990, the school

is proud to say that 100 per cent
of our graduates have routinely
obtained offers from universities
of their choice.
Student Services
The school has around 400 students and
offers highly qualified academic staff (30 of
whom are IB examiners), small class sizes,

VET courses are primarily offered by

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
These may include Technical and Further
Education (TAFE) institutes (see page 75)
and private colleges. Some universities and
secondary schools also offer VET courses.
Each Australian state and territory authority
registers RTOs to:
provide quality training

You can find a list of registered RTOs at
www.myskills.gov.au. RTOs that
wish to offer courses to international

the graduate diploma is typically completed

often provide more practical, work-oriented
skills than the courses offered in the higher
education system.
The VET sector includes the following types
of qualifications:
VET courses at certificate IV, diploma

and advanced diploma level can provide
students with a pathway into the higher
education sector. In addition to providing
assistance with entry requirements, VET
courses can also provide credit towards
some higher education courses. For
example, students who graduate with a
diploma may receive up to two or three
semesters of credit towards a related
bachelor degree. The exact amount of
credit granted depends on the institution,
the degree and the VET qualification
completed. It is important to check
pathways and credit arrangements with
institutions.

VET course fees range from AUD$4000 to
$22,000 per year. Higher-level vocational
courses, including vocational graduate
certificates and diplomas, may have higher
fees.

VET student profile

Andres Kello Argentina/Brazil/ USA
Studying abroad
in Australia is a
unique experience.
Having lived in five
different countries,
I can immediately
single out Australia
as having one of
the best qualities
of life in the world.
Furthermore, its
education is rigorous and challenging with
a strong international flavour. Unlike in
America, education in Australia is more
focused towards what you are studying,
and your social life is concentrated outside
the institution, allowing you to have a
more balanced and rewarding experience.
It is impossible to single out one best thing
about studying in Australia because there
are simply too many. The ones that come
to mind are the depth of the education,
personal growth, friendships and the
cultural awareness. What I liked most about
living and studying in Australia was the
independence I felt. Teachers dont harass
you about doing your homework or going
to class. It is understood that it is up to you
to do it and is in your own best interest. In
Sydney, the lifestyle is a very independent
one that allows for a lot of personal growth
along with the opportunity to meet a lot
of different people and make many new
friends from all across the globe. Take
advantage of everything Australia offers
and you will have a memorable experience
that will serve you your entire life.
Entry into VET courses usually requires

students to have reached a level of study
equivalent to Australian Year 10, 11 or

diploma from a TAFE institute may receive
up to two or three semesters of credit

TAFE student profile

Prakul Duggal India
I feel great about
the quality of
education I am
getting in Australia
because its more
practical, and I
believe thats what
makes you perfect
for a job if you
have good practical
exposure. In my country the education
system is stricter as its more theoretically
orientated, but here in Australia its more
practically orientated, which actually gives
you a chance to explore the industry and
work in a more appropriate way. Its really
good in Australia come and have fun
while studying. You would get a chance to
hang around with people from all over the
world and also get a chance to show the
world what kind of knowledge you have
got. You would love studying here.

TAFE course fees range from AUD$4000 to
$22,000 per year for VET courses. Higher
education course fees may exceed these
averages. These figures were sourced
from the Australian Governments Study
in Australia website in 2015 at
Diploma: Diplomas prepare students for

industry, enterprise and paraprofessional
careers. Diplomas typically require one or
two years of full-time study.
Advanced diploma: An advanced diploma
provides a high level of practical skills for
advanced skilled or paraprofessional work
in areas such as accounting, building design
and engineering. Advanced diplomas vary
in length from 1.5 to two years of full-time
study.
Vocational graduate certificate/
diploma: The vocational graduate
certificate and diploma are the equivalent
of the higher education graduate certificate
and diploma. They provide high-level
employment-related skills and knowledge.
The graduate certificate usually requires six
TAFE courses at certificate

IV, diploma and advanced
diploma level can provide
students with a pathway
to the higher education
sector. In addition to
providing assistance with
entry requirements, TAFE
courses can also provide
credit towards some higher
education programs.
Please note that course fees vary widely

depending on the course, provider and
location chosen and should always be
sourced from the relevant TAFE institute.
Entry requirements
Entry into the TAFE system usually requires
students to have reached a level of study
equivalent to Australian Year 10, 11 or 12
for VET courses. Higher entry requirements
may apply to higher education courses
offered at TAFE institutes. Some courses
may have prerequisite subjects or work
experience requirements. Entry into courses
such as art and design may also require

flexible structure that allows students to
enter at different times of the year and
at different levels of English language or
academic proficiency.

Foundation courses generally cost between

Foundation studies student profile

Quynh Trang Dang Vietnam
Australia seems a
mysterious place to
many people. Most
of us think Australia
is a place where
kangaroos hop
around and everyone
greets each other
with Gday mate!.
Australia has a rich culture that is more
than that. It is a place where international
students can learn a lot: learn to live, learn
to grow up and learn to be independent.
The reason I chose to come to Australia is
quite simple: I have an aunt who advised
me to come to Australia for a better
education. I spent my first year in Perth, the
capital of Western Australia, completing my
foundation studies. The quiet and peaceful
city of Perth helped me to settle in and get
to know the Australian way of life. Coming
to Australia involved changes in all sorts of
ways, and the foundation year has helped
me to adapt to them all, from food to
cultural changes. After the foundation year
I decided to move to Melbourne for further
tertiary study. I am currently completing
a bachelor degree. The education here is
more practical than in my home country.
We gain actual knowledge by doing the
assignments. I really enjoy the feeling of
receiving grades for assignments I have put
a lot of effort into. Living in a multicultural
country you get to know people from all
around the world. I am really enjoying my
Australian experience.
Some foundation courses

have a flexible structure that
allows students to enter
at different times of the
year and at different levels
of English language and
academic proficiency.
Entry requirements
Foundation courses usually

offer university-style teaching
through lectures and
tutorials. This ensures that
students become familiar
with this way of learning.
To gain entry to a foundation course,

students will need to have completed or
nearly completed their home countrys
end-of-school certificate. They will also
need to meet standards for written and
spoken English.
The exact requirements vary between
courses, so its important to contact the
course provider for details. Successful
completion of a foundation course may
guarantee entry into specific degree courses
and may even grant entry into the second
year of a related degree.

least two-thirds research and include a
substantial thesis or research project,
which is often externally assessed. Entry
normally requires a bachelor degree
(honours) or masters preliminary year.

formats:
Research doctorate (PhD): These consist
mainly of supervised research resulting

length. Undergraduate and postgraduate
coursework students enrol for their courses
at the beginning of the year (usually in
January or February), but application closing
dates are typically towards the end of

Thousands of international students choose to study in Australia each year because of the excellent
reputation of its education programs and the great lifestyle and travel opportunities. Those already
studying overseas who would like to experience studying in Australia can choose between a study
abroad program and a student exchange.
Who offers study abroad and exchange
programs?
Study abroad programs are offered by
Australian universities and other tertiary
institutions. If you are considering a study
abroad program, you can choose any
Australian institution that offers study
abroad. You can complete an exchange
program at an Australian secondary school
or tertiary institution, but the Australian
institution must have an exchange
partnership with your home institution.
Will subjects taken overseas show

on my transcript with or without a
letter grade or a grade-point
average (GPA)?
In an exchange program:
Those taking part in a study abroad

program will need to pay fees, usually
up-front, to their Australian institution.
Fees vary depending on the course and
institution. It is important to discuss fees
with an academic adviser at your home
institution and your prospective Australian
institution.
the student remains enrolled at their

home institution during their time in
Australia

usually involve completing one or two
semesters of study overseas. Credit
from this study may count towards your
course back home. The amount of credit
transferred for studies completed in
Australia varies depending on the academic
system at your home institution. Students
are usually allowed to enrol in any subject
offered by their Australian institution,
although entry to some subjects may
depend on the student having fulfilled
certain prerequisite subject requirements,
so it is important to check with academic
advisers at both your current and Australian
institution. Before you commit to a study
abroad or exchange program, you should
consider the following questions:
Am I able to count subjects taken

overseas as part of my study abroad
towards my major?
Tuition costs
the home institution has a formal

exchange agreement with the Australian
institution
Does my home institution give credit

for subjects taken overseas?
You are strongly advised to speak to your

home institutions academic adviser or
exchange coordinator for answers to any
questions you may have.
the student continues to pay their

normal fees to their home institution
(the cost to the Australian institution
is part of the exchange agreement
between the two institutions)
the student must be nominated and
approved for the exchange program by
the exchange coordinator at their home
institution
credit for study in Australia usually
counts towards the students home
course as part of the exchange
agreement, although it is important to
check to make sure this is the case.
In a study abroad program:
the home institution does not have a
formal exchange agreement with the
Australian institution
the student usually needs to take leave
from their home institution
the student usually pays fees to the
Australian institution up-front
the student must ask their advisers at
their home institution whether they
can receive credit for their study abroad
subjects.
Students taking part in an exchange

program pay their normal fees to their
home institution.
Entry requirements
You can generally apply for study abroad
programs in Australia either through your
home institution or directly through the
Australian institution. Students taking part
in an exchange program will need to get
approval from their home institution before
applying. To be eligible for study abroad
and exchange programs, students generally
need to:
have completed a minimum of two
semesters of full-time study at their
home institution
satisfy minimum academic requirements
set by their home institution and/or the
Australian institution
have satisfied any necessary subject
prerequisites
satisfy English language requirements set
by the Australian institution.
Students may be required to fulfil a
number of application requirements,
such as providing academic and character
references, a financial statement and a copy
of their academic results.

Business and management students in Australia learn in an environment uniquely placed between
Eastern and Western cultures and economies. They develop a cultural understanding that is quickly
becoming an important element of business success in the era of globalisation.

The Master of Business Administration
(MBA) is an internationally recognised
degree that provides students with practical
and theoretical knowledge of how people
and processes work within the business
world and in the wider community.
Australias universities and private education
providers offer around 100 internationally
recognised MBA programs and similar
alternatives. Most courses are delivered
over a period of one to two years of
full-time study. The MBA offers worldwide
networking opportunities, expanded
personal skills and career enhancement. An
Australian MBA course will improve your
skills by promoting your abilities to work as
an effective team member, lead others and
develop strong interpersonal relationships
through increased communication,
presentation and negotiation skills.
Basic subject areas of an MBA
The MBA introduces students to the various
business disciplines and prepares them for
general management roles. Business schools
in Australia generally provide units in:
Research projects and units focusing on

sustainable and ethical business practice
may also be offered.
Specialisations within the MBA
There are many specialisations offered
within the MBA, ranging from international
management and Chinese language to
engineering management and health
services management. Specialist programs
allow students to focus on their professional
area while learning the fundamentals of
business and management. Check with
your preferred institution to see which
specialisations are offered. You may also be
able to study an MBA in combination with
another masters program.
MBA workload
MBA programs typically have an extremely
heavy workload due to the amount of
subject matter covered and to simulate the
demanding workload of a senior executive.
The heavy workload is designed to give
students the opportunity to develop good
time management skills, which will be
essential during their careers.
accounting
Alternatives to the MBA
business policy and strategy
The traditional MBA has inspired a range of

other programs. The executive MBA (EMBA),
for example, is a shorter, more intensive
advancement course designed for senior
managers. There are also a number of other
masters-level programs for managers, such
as the Master of Management (MMgt), the
Master of Engineering Management (MEM)
and the Master of Technology (MTech).
These courses are aimed at people who are
currently employed in (or who are seeking
careers in) specific industries. Other courses
such as the Master of Entrepreneurship and
Innovation (MEI) are designed for people
intending to start innovative new businesses
or play a leading role in an innovative unit of
an established organisation.

An Australian MBA course

will improve your skills by
promoting your abilities to work
as an effective team member,
lead others and develop strong

Beyond the MBA

Another development for professionals
who have completed an MBA or equivalent
is the Doctor of Business Administration
(DBA). The DBA gives students the
opportunity to further their knowledge
and understanding in an area of interest
through applied research and some
coursework study.

MBA program fees range from AUD$20,000
to more than $140,000. These figures were
sourced from MBA providers in 2015. Fees
vary widely due to differing course lengths,
subject options and extra activities such as
study tours, so its important to check fees
with individual providers.
Entry requirements
Entry requirements vary considerably.
Institutions generally require a bachelor
degree from a recognised tertiary institution
and/or several years of management
experience, as well as good communication
skills in written and spoken English
(demonstrated through English language
testing if English is not your first language).
Business schools may also require personal
references, evidence of career progression
and a personal statement. The Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT) is
an aptitude test for applicants to gain
entry to business schools. Some Australian
institutions require candidates to complete
the GMAT for entry, while others use it as
an optional extra or as an alternative entry
scheme for those who do not meet other
entry requirements. For more details, visit
the Graduate Management Admission
Councils website at www.gmac.com or
the official GMAT website at
www.mba.com.
Application dates vary between institutions.
Some institutions offer two intakes a year,
with programs generally commencing
in February and July; others offer three
trimesters per year, with intakes generally
in February, July and November. A few
institutions offer four intakes per year.
The MBA introduces students to

the various business disciplines
and prepares them for general
management roles.
