Studying in Australia: your questions answered.
Do I need IELTS to study in Australia?
Usually, yes. Most universities and the Student visa need an English test such as IELTS, PTE Academic or TOEFL iBT. Some students are exempt. We check the exact requirement for your course and help you prepare.
Can I work while studying in Australia?
Yes. You can work up to 48 hours a fortnight while your course is in session, and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks. Master’s by research and PhD students can work unlimited hours once their course starts.
How long can I stay after my studies?
Indian graduates get extended post-study work under the India–Australia trade agreement: 2 years after a bachelor’s degree, 3 years after a bachelor’s with first-class honours in STEM or after a master’s, and 4 years after a PhD.
Can my family come with me?
Yes, if you are studying a PhD. Your partner and children can come with you on your Student visa, and your partner can work in Australia.
What is the Genuine Student requirement?
It is part of the visa application where you explain your study plans, your circumstances and why you chose your course. We help you prepare clear, honest answers.
How much is the Australian student visa fee?
The Student visa application charge is A$2,500 from 1 July 2026. You also need Overseas Student Health Cover.
When are the intakes?
The main intakes are in February and July, with a smaller November intake at some universities and colleges.
Are there benefits to studying in regional Australia?
Yes. Studying and living in eligible regional areas can lead to extra post-study work time. We explain which locations qualify.
How early should I apply?
Start early, ideally 6 to 12 months before your intake, so you have time for admissions, your CoE and your visa application.
Do you charge for counselling or visa support?
No. Our counselling and support are free, and we do not charge a service fee for student visas. You only pay official costs such as tuition, visa charges and health cover.
