You must show enough money for travel, 12 months of course fees and 12 months of living costs: AUD 29,710 for the student. Where an exemption allows family, add AUD 10,394 for a partner, AUD 4,449 for each child and at least AUD 13,502 per year in schooling costs for each school-age child.
Yes, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during academic sessions and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks. Your enrollment must remain full-time.
The visa asks for an overall score only.

For most applicants, no. From 2 October 2026 you cannot include a partner or children unless you meet an exemption: PhD students, DFAT or Defence sponsored students, foreign government scholarship recipients, eligible Pacific Island and ASEAN nationals, and limited cases for current Student visa holders. Family members cannot apply later as subsequent entrants in any circumstance.

Overseas Student Health Cover is mandatory health insurance for student visa holders. You must maintain OSHC for your entire visa duration and include family members if applicable.
A Student visa can be granted for up to 6 years, in line with your enrolment. From 2 October 2026 most further Student visa applications must be lodged from outside Australia. You can apply in Australia only under an exemption, for example if you need up to 12 more months to finish your main course or are progressing to a course at a higher AQF level.
You must maintain enrollment conditions and satisfactory progress. Failure to do so can result in visa cancellation. Contact your institution immediately if facing difficulties.
