A few good questions
Before you start.
Is Student Visa Academy an official visa service?
No. Student Visa Academy provides independent educational information and study-planning guidance. It is not an Australian Government service. Check current Department of Home Affairs information and seek appropriately qualified professional advice where required.
Do you choose a course or visa for me?
No. The planner helps you organise decisions and questions. It does not select a visa, assess eligibility, predict an outcome or provide personalised migration advice.
What if my English result is below a course requirement?
Requirements vary by provider and course. Confirm the current requirement with the provider. If you need to improve your English result, explore IELTS preparation and tutoring at Master English Academy.
Can I work in Australia while I study?
Work rights depend on the visa and the conditions attached to it. Check current official government guidance and your own visa conditions before accepting work.
