However, there are additional costs and considerations to keep in mind:

Additional Applicant Charges:

 – If you are including family members (spouse or children) in your visa application, there will be additional charges:

– AUD 1190 for each additional applicant over 18 years old.

– AUD 390 for each additional applicant under 18 years old.

Health Insurance (OSHC): Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is mandatory for all international students in Australia. The cost depends on the duration of your stay and the provider you choose. On average, OSHC can range from AUD 600 to AUD 4,200 per year, depending on the coverage and the number of family members included.

Biometrics Fee: Some applicants may be required to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) as part of the visa application process. This incurs an additional fee, typically around AUD 20-30.

Visa Application Center (VAC) Fees: If you apply through a Visa Application Center (VAC) in your country, there may be additional service fees.

Other Potential Costs:

– English language test fees (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL, PTE).

– Medical examination fees (if required).

– Translation and certification fees for documents (if applicable).

Payment Methods: The visa application fee is paid online through the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs website when submitting your application. Payment can be made using a credit card or other accepted methods.
