VISA INFORMATION TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA

The Australian Government welcomes people who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents to study in Australia and has set a number of requirements that operate to regulate and protect the industry and intending students. The visa related information provided has been obtained from Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and is not advice provided by Pivot Point International Academy.

The Academy advises that you should seek your own advice from DIAC offices, from the student visa and skilled migration section on the DIAC website (www.immi.gov.au) or through a licensed agent listed on the MARA website (www.themara.com.au).

If you wish to undertake VET courses (certificates or diplomas) you should apply for a student visa subclass 572 (VET). Detailed information on visas can be downloaded from the DIAC website (www.immi.gov.au).

The Academy has accredited a number of representatives around the world to provide advice on study opportunities at the Academy and living in Australia. They will assist you to secure places at our Academy and also coordinate initial airport reception and accommodation placement. These representatives can provide you with additional services.

Please note our representatives may charge a fee for this service. You should visit the education agent list on our website for their contact details.

The Academy will not be responsible or liable for information provided to a potential international student by an organisation that is not a registered and accredited representative of the Academy. The Academy will not accept an application for enrolment from a potential international student through a non-accredited organisation. You should ask for evidence of accreditation with Pivot Point International Academy before proceeding with an application.

Should you be granted a Bridging Visa or Temporary Visa pending determination of permanent residency after the commencement of your course of studies or after you have paid your tuition fees, you must complete the current course as per your contracted attendance. There are no refunds in these situations.

Following your initial student visa, you may wish to extend your stay in Australia for further study, graduation, a holiday or some other reasons.

If you wish to extend your stay to undertake full-time study, you will need to apply for a new student visa.

If you are in Australia on another Temporary Visa, you may be eligible to apply for another visa to extend your stay or to migrate here permanently. To find out whether you are eligible for another visa, visit DIAC website or a registered Migration Agent.

Please be advised that Pivot Point International Academy staff are not permitted by law to advise or provide any assistance to you on visa matters.

Under the Australian Government student visa regulations, you must register your residential address and phone number with the Academy within seven days of arriving in Australia. You must also notify the Academy of any changes to your residential address within seven days every time you change address. Should the Academy have to issue you with a formal letter to attend an interview at DIAC because of unsatisfactory attendance or academic performance and your residential address registered at the Academy is not current, DIAC may automatically cancel your visa, which may result in your removal from Australia.
