If you already hold a Student visa and want to apply for another one while in Australia, you may now need to apply from outside Australia, unless you fall within one of the specific exemptions.

Exemptions may apply in certain circumstances, including students who need additional time to finish their current course with the same provider, PhD applicants, school students, sponsored students, provider-default situations, and genuine progression to a higher AQF level.
