WHY STUDY HERE?
HOW TO GET IN WITH STB
An STB advisor looks at your academic background, English level and career goals, then points you to the right program and institution.
We go through your academic documents, school records and English certificates (IELTS, TOEFL or equivalent) to confirm you meet the entry requirements.
The STB team handles the whole application with the institution: forms, motivation letters, document translation and following the process through.
Once you are approved, the Letter of Offer arrives. STB walks you through what comes next and the first payment of the confirmation fee.
We guide you through the entire Student Visa (subclass 500) application — documents, proof of funds and lodgement.
Before you fly, we get you ready for arrival: accommodation, a bank card, your tax file number (TFN), health cover (OSHC) and settling into life in Australia.
