The student must have health insurance for the duration of their study period. This can be provided by using Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) to provide hospital and medical insurance.
Students must have already completed the equivalent of a Year 12 education successfully and be able to provide appropriate academic records and school reports as required.
The student must be able to satisfy character and health requirements. They must also be able to prove they are genuinely only travelling to Australia on a temporary basis and they have good reason to return to their home country.
