Australian student visa requirements are not fixed, instead they are dynamic. The applications requirements are adopting to the applicant’s nationality and the chosen Australian Education provider. This process is known as Simplified student visa framework (SSVF), it is a single immigration risk framework apply to all international students.
The SSVF indicates the risk level of applicant’s nationality and chosen Education provider when they apply for a student visa. For example, if an student visa applicant is from a high-risk country and apply for studying in Australia with a high-risk school, then the application will be considered as ‘risky’ and SSVF will trigger tougher requirements. On the contrary, if a low-risk country citizen applies for the student visa to study in a low-risk education provider, the requirements will be much easier to meet.
The main student visa requirements are listed as below:
The GTE requirement was introduced on 5 November 2011 to safeguard the student visa program. It carefully assesses whether the student visa applicant just come to Australia for a temporary stay.
Factors that the Department of Home Affairs may consider as part of the GTE requirement include:
Applicant is expected to write a statement to address the above factors and convince Australian government that you are a genuine student. Sometimes, it can be quite hard to write a perfect GTE statement to address all four factors at the same time, yet this is the most important requirement to meet.

We cannot grant a student visa to your child if they have turned 18 years at the time your visa is finalised. They need to apply for their own visa.

Your family members can also apply as a subsequent entrant (at a later time, separate from your application) in ImmiAccount.
Family members who apply for the visa must meet our requirements for health and character.
