What’s new for international students (policy highlights)

  • Work hours: Generally up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods; unlimited in scheduled breaks. Postgraduate research settings differ.
  • Onshore switches: From 1 July 2024, many Visitor (600) and Temporary Graduate (485) holders cannot apply onshore for a Student visa—case-by-case assessment needed.
  • Financial capacity: The living-cost benchmark has been uplifted (currently around AUD 29,710) and is reviewed periodically.
  • Visa application charge: Increased in 2024 (base VAC); further adjustments have been reported in 2025. We confirm the exact fee at lodgement to avoid mistakes.

We actively track Department of Home Affairs updates and reflect them in your file so nothing lapses or expires mid-process.
