Students may apply with their family members at the same time when they apply for their student visas or opt to apply after their partner/spouse has received their student visa.
This visa allows partners to work, live and study in Australia.
What Does This Visa Let Your Partner Do?
If the student is studying for a bachelor’s degree, the dependent partner can work up to 40 hours per fortnight.
If the student is studying for a master’s degree (coursework or research) or doctorate, the partner will have full and unlimited work rights.
