The student visa allows you to stay in Australia to study full-time in a recognised education institution. To apply for this visa, you must first apply and be accepted to study in a registered full-time course at an educational institution in Australia. If you are under 18 there are additional requirements. Check the Student Visa page on the Department of Home Affairs website.

Student Visa Conditions
All student visas have various conditions, including work limitations and a requirement to maintain an acceptable attendance level and/or results. It is essential that students are aware of these conditions, as a breach of a condition can result in cancellation. It is also very important to seek advice if a student becomes aware of breaching a condition, or is notified by their educational provider or DIBP that they have breached a condition. Do not wait until after a student visa is cancelled! Students should also seek advice prior to seeking to change their course or educational provider.
