Student visas are granted by the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).

Visit the Commonwealth Register of Courses and Institutions for Overseas Students (CRICOS) website for more information on registered courses and education providers. Courses under three months’ duration can be undertaken on a visitor visa or courses of up to four months on a working holiday visa.
