Dependant Application
The Dependant application is for adult, tertiary-level international students studying or planning to study in Victoria and want to enrol their child in a Victorian government school. For example, children of students studying at a Victorian university, Vocational Education and Training (VET) or Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions (i.e. studying a diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate) are considered dependants. Dependant applications are for the following visa subclasses:
- student visa (subclass 500) higher education
- student visa (subclass 500) vocational education and training (VET)
- student visa (subclass 500) ELICOS and 500 student non-award.
Children of parents who are studying at a Victorian university for research purposes are fee-exempt and can apply directly to individual schools, i.e. adult, tertiary-level international students applying for or holding a student visa (subclass 500) postgraduate research or student visa (subclass 500) AusAID and Defence visa.
