Is your visa going to expire any time from now until the end of this year?
As we are heading towards the end of the year and the holiday season is just around the corner, it’s good to plan ahead and be organised.
If your visa is going to expire any time soon, don’t leave it to the last minute. Many schools will close for the Christmas holiday and come back at the beginning of January. If this is your case, start the visa process as soon as possible in order to avoid the stress of getting everything done on time. Your new visa also needs OSHC with no gap in cover, so compare the cheapest OSHC options early too.

Childcare courses are among the most popular pathways for international students in Australia. Do you want to make the first step towards your childcare career in 2019? Now is the time to enrol!
Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (Childcare) has been a popular and affordable choice for international students for quite some time. It’s usually a 2-year course, that includes work placement in a childcare centre. Fees for these courses usually range anywhere from $1,750 to $2,200 / every three months.
We offer these diplomas at various schools and multiple locations across Australia: in Sydney (including CBD, Burwood and Parramatta campuses), Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart.
Most of our students have been studying Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care either at the 4Life College or at the Sydney School of Business and Technology (SSBT). Especially 4Life College has been quite popular lately, because of the quality of teaching and also because of low upfront costs (just $595 to receive the Confirmation of Enrolment or CoE). The tuition fee isn’t the lowest among our schools, however, the school offers both monthly ($725 / month) or quarterly payment plan ($1,990 / every three months) and they have campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Most of the schools offering Early Childhood Education and Care courses will have their last intake of 2019 in October so now it’s the right time to enrol if you want to make sure there will be a spot for you.
If you are considering Childcare as your next course, just contact us and we will be in touch with all the details. If you are in Australia at the moment, we can also arrange a campus visit or a trial class for you so you will get to know your school before you make your decision. If you are not sure or have any questions, feel free to have a chat with us on Facebook Messenger.
This is a great opportunity especially for those of you, who work as a nanny, au-pair or are just generally interested in working with children, while also having the opportunity to apply for 18-month Graduate visa after successfully completing the course. For more details, please, feel free to contact us and also refer to the information provided by Department of Home Affairs (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485).

Australian Department of Home Affairs is changing the Student Visa application fee from the 1st of July 2019.
The cost of a Student Visa in Australia (Subclass 500) is now $620 (an increase from $575). If you will be applying in Australia and your current visa was granted while you were in Australia, be prepared that the Department of Home Affairs will charge you another $700 (Subsequent Temporary Application Charge) on top of the $620. This is often the case when someone is moving from the second year of Working Holiday Visa and this fee has not changed since 1. 7. 2019.
If you are planning to include your partner in your Student Visa application, you will be charged another $430 (Additional Applicant Charge 18+) by the Department of Home Affairs.

LANGUAGE BARRIERS
Darren (Hong Kong): One thing I wish I knew before coming to Australia was that the English I knew was not the English many Australians speak (particularly young people)! I really struggled to understand people when I first arrived because almost every sentence has a slang word or strange expression in it. I wish I knew more Aussie-slang before I came so I wouldn’t have felt so confused!
Ingrid (Sweden): One thing I wish I knew before moving to Perth was how sarcastic the humour is here; I never know when people are joking or being serious! Australians will insult you- but they mean it in a nice way (this is a way they express their friendship). I have learnt that it is best to assume if an Australian says something rude, they are probably just joking!
INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS
Isabel (Sweden): Before coming to Australia I really did not know anything about the Indigenous Community here. Indigenous Australians are a big part of Australian culture and I think if I had done some research before moving I would have understood some of the issues like Australia Day a bit more. Also, Aboriginal traditions and culture are just really interesting and very different to Sweden obviously! I would encourage everyone to learn about Indigenous Australians before studying here.
GETTING A JOB
Ligia (Colombia): I wish I knew how hard it was to find a job. As international students are limited to hours we can work, it was hard in the beginning to find a place that would hire me. As most Australian students also work part-time, there is much competition, especially in areas close to universities. I found that applying for jobs online was really a waste of time and that the best way is actually to just walk around and hand in your resume in person.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Darren (Hong Kong): Coming from a place where public transport is so good, I really struggled to adapt to how (bad) the public transport system is here (Perth). In particular, the buses. They are never on time! Sometimes they just don’t even show up. I have learnt to always have a backup plan and to allow extra time when using public transport…
CONVENIENCE
Emma (United States): I wish I knew that America is the land of convenience and that the rest of the world doesn’t operate in the same way. 24-hour food is just not a thing in Australia! There are only a very small amount of McDonald’s which are open 24 hours. I was also shocked to find out that many grocery stores close at 7pm, with the latest being 9pm (even in big cities). Before you move to Australia, learn to plan ahead! Even restaurants and cafes that are open for lunch and dinner will close in the early afternoon between 3pm-5pm.
