Studying in Australia – What Are the Requirements?
So you might be a 20-something-year-old whose parents are dying to get you out of their house or someone fully established in their life who is seeking to expand his (or her) knowledge of the world.
Regardless of what your purpose is, getting an Australian student visa will open many doors for you: new career opportunities, professional advancement, and eventually possibly receiving permanent residency. Achieving permanent residency will enable you and your family to enjoy the same benefits as regular Australian citizens, such as free health-care and subsidized education.
