Education Program

​​​​​Education providers have responsibilities for student visa holders.

Use our education program guide to understand education and training in Australia for students from overseas.

We publish periodic news items in Provider Registration and International Student Management System (PRISMS).

This is our key channel for providing updates to education providers and agents regarding the Student visa program. We encourage you to keep a record of news items including provider updates. These updates are kept online for a limited time.


Welfare arrangements

Every student should have time to travel to Australia and settle in before their studies begin.

We recommend that education providers nominate welfare arrangements to start early.

All education providers have access to the benefits of streamlined evidence requirements.
