📢 Student Visa Update | From 2 October 2026

New rules for Student (subclass 500) and Student Guardian (subclass 590) visas affect who can apply for and be granted a visa while in Australia, and whether family members can be included.

⚠️ Unless exempt, current Student visa holders must apply for another Student visa offshore and be offshore when it is granted.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family members can only be included where an exemption applies. They can no longer apply to join you after your Student visa is granted.

Check how these changes affect you before making study, visa or travel plans.

Many self-employed tradespeople assume they are not eligible for Australian skilled migration because they don't have traditional employment documents.

The reality is that every case is different.

Depending on your occupation and circumstances, self-employment may still be considered as part of your skills assessment and skilled migration pathway. The key is preparing the right evidence and choosing the correct migration strategy.

If you're a tradesperson considering migration to Australia, we're here to help you understand your options.
