International Students/Visa Conditions
International students are not permitted to study part-time unless they are already in Australia on a spouse's study visa or a diplomatic or dependent temporary resident visa.
Student visas are usually issued for the duration of the full program. Students who wish to extend their visa should first consult SAIBT Student Services for assistance.

As a member of OSHC 85% of the Government scheduled fees for private doctors, pathology and x-rays are paid. The OSHC does not cover any pre-existing condition prior to entry into Australia, including pregnancy. Access to OSHC information and health cover can easily be managed on the mobile phone by downloading the OSHC App - https:// www.oshcallianzassistance.com.au/ app/default.aspx
