🔹Dependants: New student visa applicants may face restrictions on bringing family members from offshore, with specific exemptions applying in certain circumstances.
🔹 Course Hopping: Students are expected to demonstrate genuine academic progression. Moving between courses—particularly to a lower-level qualification—may result in additional visa requirements and scrutiny.

⚠️ Important: Further details regarding exemptions, implementation and individual circumstances may be announced. Students should check the latest official Department of Home Affairs requirements before making any visa or study decisions.
