Student & Graduate
Student and graduate visas
Australia is one of the world's leading study destinations, and study can be the start of a much longer journey. We support you across the whole student lifecycle: choosing a course, preparing your documentation, staying organised, and moving on to a graduate visa and beyond. The regulated migration advice and the visa lodgement are handled by a registered migration agent we match you with. We are honest that study is an expensive, indirect route to staying long term.
How this works
- Us:We get your documents application-ready, match you with a registered migration agent we have vetted, and stay on the matter until it is lodged.
- Registered agent:A registered migration agent gives the migration advice and lodges your application.
- The Department:The Department of Home Affairs decides. No outcome is guaranteed.
