Every month over 5,000 men, women and children receive an Australian Visa and permanently migrate to Australia under the Skilled Migration Program, the Family/Partner Program or Special category entry.
In November 2004, there were 211,315 overseas students enrolled in Australian schools, colleges and Universities. 23,121 students were in ELICOS courses, with the largest enrolment of 4,959 from China. Many of these students remain in Australia when they graduate and become part of our skilled workforce. They apply for an Onshore Skilled Migration Visa for permanent residence.

Australia's overseas student program
The Australian Government operates an overseas student program (OSP) that allows people who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents to study in Australia.
Anyone who is not an Australian resident may apply to study in Australia under the OSP.
If you want to study under this program, you must obtain a student visa before you can commence a course of study in Australia.
For more information about
study in Australia visit the official Australian government website
for international students.

Registered courses
You can be granted a student visa only if you wish to undertake a registered course or part of a registered course on a full-time basis.
A registered course is an education or training course offered by an Australian education provider who is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students.
The Department of Education,
Science and Training (DEST) can provide details of registered courses.
