• Alternatively, proof of parental or sponsor support is acceptable.

3. English Language Proficiency

• Provide results from approved English tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic. The required score depends on the course and institution.

4. Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement

• Submit a written statement proving your intention to study in Australia temporarily and return home after completing your course.

5. Health and Character Requirements

Additional Requirements (if applicable):

For minors: Provide welfare arrangements if you’re under 18.
