Start Your Application

If you're currently studying in Australia and considering a new course, there are important regulations to be aware of:

6-Month Rule

Under Australian regulations, international students are generally expected to complete at least six months of their principal course before changing providers. If you wish to transfer before this period, you may need a release from your current provider. Release requests are assessed in accordance with applicable regulations and your provider’s policies, and may be granted in certain circumstances (for example, compassionate or compelling reasons).

 

View Enrolment Guide

Yes, we offer Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit transfer for relevant previous qualifications. Credit transfer depends on the relevance and level of your previous studies and how they align with this course.

Contact our admissions team for a free assessment of your eligibility for credit transfer. Credit transfer may reduce your study duration and overall tuition fees, depending on the outcome of the assessment.

Changes to your course or provider may impact your student visa. You must ensure you continue to meet your visa conditions, including maintaining enrolment in a registered course.

For specific advice about your visa, please contact the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent/lawyer.

Students studying in designated regional areas may have access to additional visa-related benefits under current government settings.

  • Lower cost of living compared to major cities

  • Strong employment opportunities in growing regional economies

As visa regulations can change, students should refer to the Department of Home Affairs for the most up-to-date information.
