This is a useful Australia-specific section.

Choose a CRICOS-Registered Course

International students studying in Australia on a Student visa generally need to be enrolled in a full-time course registered on CRICOS β€” the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. A valid Confirmation of Enrolment is required for the Student visa application. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

Aafaq Global can provide guidance on:


Genuine Student Requirement

Australia's current Student visa framework includes the Genuine Student (GS) requirement. Applicants must demonstrate that they genuinely intend to study and understand that studying in Australia is the primary reason for applying for the Student visa. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

The application asks applicants to address areas including:

Supporting evidence can be important because Australian immigration authorities state that greater weight is given to statements supported by evidence. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

Aafaq Global support

We can help you:

Important website wording

We do not create false stories or misleading documents. Your application should accurately represent your genuine circumstances and study intentions.

This is important for Aafaq Global's credibility.


OSHC

Most Student visa applicants must have adequate Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for their stay, unless an applicable exemption applies. For applicants outside Australia, the required cover generally needs to begin from the day they arrive in Australia. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

Explain simply:

OSHC helps cover certain healthcare costs while you're in Australia as an international student.

Students should check:

Don't make this look like Aafaq Global is selling insurance unless you actually have authorization to do so.


Plan Your Australian Study Budget

Your overall cost depends on:

Budget structure

Tuition
+
Accommodation
+
Food & Living Costs
+
Transport
+
OSHC
+
Books & Supplies
+
Personal Expenses

For visa purposes, Australian immigration currently lists a 12-month living-cost figure of AUD 29,710 for a student, alongside additional amounts for certain accompanying family members; applicants also need to account for course fees and travel costs as applicable. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

Because these amounts can change, your website should show:

Current financial requirements β€” verify before application

rather than permanently embedding an old figure into the design.


When Can You Start?

Australian institutions commonly have different intake periods depending on the institution and course.

February / Semester 1

A major intake for many programs.

July / Semester 2

Another important intake for many institutions and courses.

Other Intakes

Some institutions offer additional starts during the year.

Important

Intakes vary by institution and course. Always check the specific course before planning your application.


18. Work While Studying

Work Rights for International Students

Current Student visa rules allow eligible students to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while their course is in session. Students undertaking master's by research or doctoral degrees, and their families, have different work-right arrangements under the current rules. (Immigration and citizenship Website)

Website message

Work rights are subject to your visa conditions and current Australian immigration rules.

Don't market Australia with:

❌ β€œEarn unlimited money while studying.”

That is both misleading and unnecessary.
