Visa Requirements for International Students 

International students are required to hold a valid student visa throughout their enrolment in any courses in Australia. This requirement does not pertain to prospective students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. To apply for a student visa, it is necessary to have official acceptance for full-time study at Highgate International College. Your visa application must be accompanied by a comprehensive set of documents demonstrating your financial capability during your stay, competence in English language, academic records and proof of health insurance.  

For more detailed information about the specific subclass of student visa requirements, you may visit the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website dedicated to visa information and the application process.  

It’s essential to note that student visa charges are separate from the tuition fees of the education program.
