Australian Government regulations require all international students to have current health insurance coverage for their period of time in Australia. A student visa cannot be granted until the student health insurance coverage has been paid. The current cost for 14 months coverage is approximately AUD$602.
The Australian Government has established a legislative framework to ensure the provision of quality education and to ensure that the rights of international students are protected. This legislation is known as the ESOS Framework. An easy to understand guide to the protection of international students in Australia is available at the Australian Education International website.
Enrolling students can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), if they believe they already have the skills and knowledge that will be taught and assessed in a subject. Please refer to the Collarts RPL section of our website. International students should be aware that receiving RPL may affect the course cost, course duration and your student visa. Any changes will be reported to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) via PRISMS.
