All awardees are supported to travel to Australia, including with visa applications and travel arrangements.
A visa and travel briefing is offered to all awardees to provide updates on visa and health examination requirements, prior to commencing applications for visas.
All awardees must complete a health examination prior to being granted a visa. To start the application, awardees must complete the Australian Government My Health Declaration and provide the Health Assessment Portal ID (HAP ID) to Aus4Skills. Aus4Skills will then arrange the health examination and inform awardees of the date and time.
Attendance at the health examinations is compulsory for Australia Awards Scholarships conditional awardees
Australia Awards awardees travel to Australia on Student visa (subclass 500) – Foreign Affairs and Defence sector.
Awardees must apply for this visa online. After you have gathered and scanned the documents to support your application, create an Immiaccount and apply for your student visa.
Note: You must answer all required questions accurately and honestly. Do not try to conceal or falsify information as the consequences could be serious.
Please inform the Australia Awards office if any information you declared in your visa application has changed after submission (e.g: marital status).
