What this category covers
Australia's study and training visa framework includes the Student visa (subclass 500), Student Guardian visa (subclass 590) and Training visa (subclass 407). The correct visa depends on whether the main purpose is formal study, caring for a student under 18, or occupational training.
For the subclass 500 pathway, enrolment in an eligible course, the Genuine Student requirement, health cover and compliance with visa conditions are central topics. Requirements can differ by education sector, applicant age and circumstances.
