📢 Big Student Visa changes start TODAY (2 October 2026) 🇦🇺

If you're an international student in Australia, or planning to study here, here's what's changed in simple terms 👇

1️⃣ Applying for a Student visa from inside Australia is now harder
Most people on a temporary visa in Australia can no longer apply for a Student visa (subclass 500) or Student Guardian visa (subclass 590) while onshore. This also applies to current Student visa holders applying for a new one, and to dependants who want to become the main student.
👉 If the new rules apply to you, you must be outside Australia both when you apply and when the visa is granted.

✅ Some students can still apply onshore, for example if you:
• Need up to 12 extra months to finish your course with the same provider
• Are applying for a PhD
• Are sponsored by DFAT or Defence
• Are doing primary or secondary school studies
• Have finished your main course and are moving to a higher-level qualification (must lead to higher education)
• Are moving from school to a non-AQF course, or from a non-AQF course to an AQF course
• Can't continue because your education provider has closed or defaulted

2️⃣ Bringing family is now limited
Most Student visa applicants can no longer include a partner or children in their application.
❌ Once your visa is granted, you can no longer add family members later. There are no exceptions to this rule.

✅ You may still include family when applying if you are:
• Studying a PhD
• Sponsored by DFAT or Defence
• On a foreign government scholarship
• An eligible student from a Pacific or ASEAN country

If your family is already on your current Student visa and you apply onshore, you may be able to keep them on the next one. Everyone must be in the same location when the application is lodged.

3️⃣ Already applied before 2 October 2026?
Good news: your application will be assessed under the old rules.

Don’t panic 🫨 it’s a test alert for the new AusAlert system nationwide 📱🚨

The Australian Government will test the new AusAlert national warning system, at 2 pm on Monday 27 July 2026 AEST.

AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile phones during local and national emergencies.

Mobile devices across Australia should receive the test alert before the system launches in October.

During the test:
✅ a message will appear on your screen
✅ your device may vibrate and play a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds
✅ you do not need to do anything if you receive the test alert.

The system is also being tested with assistive technology, such as hearing aids, screen readers and Braille displays.

If the alert could disrupt you or make you or someone you support feel unsafe, you can turn your device off or switch it to aeroplane mode before the test time.

To learn more about AusAlert and access resources, see the comments below. 👇
