Everything before you land. Offers, student visas, costs, cities, housing and what the official requirements actually say — for anyone planning to study in Australia.

A weekly briefing plus a growing library of explainers: how the subclass 500 student visa works, what Genuine Student means in practice, what each city actually costs, how OSHC health cover works, and what changed in this month's policy settings — always read from the official sources, always dated.

General information only — not migration advice. For advice on your own situation, talk to a registered migration agent or education counsellor.

  • What CRICOS registration means

    What CRICOS registration means
    12 Sep 2026
    Episode one. CRICOS is the Australian government register of the institutions and courses allowed to enrol international students — and if a course is not on it, that course cannot support a student visa. Why the course code matters more than the provider code, why an accredited course can still be closed to you, what the ESOS framework obliges a provider to tell you, what happens to your tuition if a college collapses, and the four-step check that takes about five minutes and that almost nobody does before they pay.

    General information drawn from published Australian government material. Not migration advice. For your own case, speak to a registered migration agent.
