Student Guardian

If an international student under the age of 18 is required to study in Australia they will need to be accompanied by either their parent or a legal guardian. In this case the guardian will require a Student Guardian Visa.

If the student requiring a Guardian is under the age of six the Guardian will not be eligible for a visa, unless and this has happened in very few circumstances. If a child is under the age of six and has a valid passport in a country that is subject to Assessment Level 1 or 2 of the Schools Sector student visa, and hold exceptional circumstances. Here you may be eligible for a Student Guardian Visa.

When applying for a visa there is a non-refundable visa application charge which must be paid.

Holding a Student Guardian Visa will let you live in Australia for the length of time you are required as a student guardian or until the child turns 18. You will be able to bring your own dependant children under the age of six with you, as well as having the right to study in Australia for three months.
