Your child must be provisionally enrolled in an approved Australian school before you leave your home country, and if you are not in receipt of an Australian scholarship you will have to pay school fees one semester in advance. The Australian Diplomatic Mission in your country can tell you which Victorian schools are registered to enrol international students. A Confirmation of Enrolment form issued by a registered school is required for you to obtain the appropriate visa for your child. Most international students may work up to 20 hours a week during their stay in Australia. Spouses accompanying postgraduate students are allowed to work full-time.
Students can obtain a work visa after enrolling in their course in Australia.
The University recommends that PhD students work no more than nine hours per week. Disclaimer and Copyright Information.
