We would like to firmly discourage students from applying for Working Holiday Visas. We understand that, since the significant increases to the price of student visas, the Working Holiday has become a popular option. Since May 2026, however, the Australia visa landscape has changed significantly students have experienced an unprecedented rate of visa refusals and delayed processing timelines that have led to the late cancellations of their program.

To minimise the risk of disruption to students' plans, we strongly recommend that students intending to study with us apply for the Student Visa (Subclass 500) rather than a Working Holiday Visa. Please refer to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website for the latest visa information and requirements.

Housing is not guaranteed. For more information, please refer to the website.

• There are university-operated accommodation and off-campus accommodation options available. Please visit our Accommodation page to learn more about these options.
• Housing on-campus is commonly full but there are a lot of other options run by the university or partner-companies
