Applying for a Student visa (subclass 500)?

You must meet the Genuine Student (GS) requirement. This means that your financial and economic circumstances can support your study in Australia for the entire duration of your stay.

Your application must include evidence of:
• Your overall financial position
• Income sources
• Financial obligations

These documents help demonstrate that you can support yourself while studying in Australia.
