Most Australian universities shut their February intake between October and December 2026. Start now and you get your pick of universities, scholarships and visa processing time. Leave it late and you are applying for July instead.
Not marketing lines — the things that actually change your outcome.
And unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks. Enough to cover a meaningful share of your living costs while you study.
The Subclass 485 lets you stay and work after graduating — the standard first step toward skilled migration and PR.

February and July. Miss one and you wait six months, not twelve — but February is the bigger intake with more courses open.
We show you the full number before you commit — tuition, the AUD 29,710 living requirement, visa fee, OSHC. No surprises at visa stage.
Feb 2027 is roughly seven months away. Here is the realistic sequence — and why starting in July or August rather than October matters.
Free profile assessment, university shortlist, and IELTS or PTE booking if you have not sat it yet. Starting here gives you room to retake the test if needed.
Applications submitted to 3–5 universities. Documents attested. Statement of Purpose drafted with you, not templated.
Offer letters arrive. Group of Eight universities begin closing here. Accept your offer and pay the tuition deposit to receive your CoE.
Financial evidence prepared, OSHC arranged, medical booked, Genuine Student statement written. This is the stage that decides your visa.
Subclass 500 visa lodged. Lodging later risks your visa not being decided before classes begin.
You fly. Pre-departure briefing covers accommodation, banking, SIM and arrival.
Tell us where you are academically and we will tell you honestly whether Australia works for your profile and budget — and if it does not, which destination does.
Takes about 40 seconds.
Free assessment. Your details are used only to prepare your shortlist and follow up. We never sell data.
A QEAC-certified counsellor will review your profile and get back to you with a realistic shortlist for February 2027.

You should lodge your Subclass 500 visa by December 2026 so it is decided before classes start in late February. Applying by the end of October is the safe window.
AUD 29,710 for living costs for one year, plus your full first-year tuition and return travel. That is money you evidence, not money you hand over. The visa application fee of AUD 2,500 is separate and is genuinely paid.
Most Australian universities want IELTS, usually 6.0–6.5 overall. Some accept PTE Academic or TOEFL. A few accept alternatives depending on your school's medium of instruction. Tell us your situation in the form and we will check what applies to you specifically.
Yes — comfortably, if you start in the next few weeks. You have time for applications, offers, financial preparation and visa lodgement. If you have not sat IELTS yet you still have room to book, sit and if necessary retake it. Leave it to October and it gets tight.
Apply for the Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa for post-study work rights, which is the usual route toward skilled migration. Budget for it early — the fee rose to AUD 5,750 in July 2026, nearly triple what it was at the start of the year.
The assessment, university shortlist and honest advice cost nothing. Service charges apply only if you decide to proceed with applications, and we tell you the full amount before you commit to anything.
Six months of difference, decided by whether you start this month or next. Free assessment, honest answer.
