International students

All international students in Australia require a valid student visa to study in Australia.

The visa is called Student Visa (Subclass 500), and it can be applied for online via the creation of an ImmiAccount.

Before you apply for an Australian Student visa, you should visit the Department of Home Affairs Immigration and Citizenship webpage and search for Subclass 500 Student visa for more details.

Once you decide that Australia can be your destination, you’ll need a Letter of Offer for your selected course at SCM. After accepting the Letter of Offer, you will also need to pay a deposit towards your tuition fees as outlined in the letter of offer.

A Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) from Sunshine College of Management (SCM) will be issued to you, confirming that you have been accepted into a course at SCM.

Applying for Your Student Visa

There are specific steps involved in applying for your Student visa, which are clearly detailed on the Department of Home Affairs website under the section “step by step”.

Once you have been issued your visa, you should check the Department of Home Affairs website under the section “when you have this visa” and ensure that you have completed each of the steps before traveling to Australia. This information may change from time to time, so it is important to refer to the Department of Home Affairs website for up-to-date information. Upon arrival in Australia, you must inform SCM of your residential address and contact details, and also inform us within seven days if you change any of those details. While holding a current student visa, you are required to remain enrolled in an approved course, attend classes regularly, make satisfactory course progress, and maintain OSHC health insurance. SCM is required to intervene where a student’s progress is unsatisfactory. If the student’s progress does not improve, we must notify the Department of Education and Training. For further information, please see the Department of Home Affairs Website.

The Australian Government aims to provide a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding place for overseas students to study. This commitment is reflected in the ESOS framework, which includes the Education Services for Overseas (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2018.

Protection for Overseas Students

As an overseas student on a student visa, you must study with an education provider and in a course listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). CRICOS registration ensures that the course and provider meet the necessary standards for overseas students.

Your Rights

The ESOS framework protects your rights, including:

  • Your right to receive current and accurate information about courses, fees, and modes of study before enrolling.
  • Your right to sign a written agreement with your provider before paying fees, outlining services provided and refund policies.
  • Your right to receive the education you paid for, with consumer protection ensuring refunds or placement in another course if the provider cannot teach your course.

The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) provides placement and refund services for international students in case their provider cannot deliver the course.

Standards and Services

The ESOS framework sets standards for Australian education providers offering services to overseas students. These standards include:

  • Orientation and access to welfare and support services.
  • Information on course credit, enrolment changes, and attendance monitoring.
  • Requirements for satisfactory course progress and support services available.
  • A complaints and appeals process.

Your Responsibilities

As an overseas student on a student visa, you have responsibilities to:

  • Satisfy your student visa conditions.
  • Maintain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
  • Meet the terms of the written agreement with your education provider.
  • Inform your provider of address changes.
  • Maintain satisfactory course progress and attendance.
  • Maintain approved accommodation, support, and welfare arrangements if under 18.

As mentioned in the above section International Students are required by the Australian Government to join a private health
insurance scheme. You will need to pay the OSHC premium at the same time as your SCM tuition fees. Overseas student health
cover (OSHC) is insurance that contributes or covers the costs of medical and hospital care which you may need while in Australia.
The Department of Home Affairs website under the section step by step under step 2 Gather your documents subsection Overseas
Student Health Cover provide details and explicit information regarding the requirements of the OSHC.
