- Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter As you cross the river, two beady eyes emerge from the dark, murky water - frightening and intimidating, yet surprisingly enigmatic. The pair moves on the waters surface, like tiny marbles being swept away by a current. But you know that these mobile circles arent tiny, little play things; but rather, they are significant hints as to who owns them. Just then, a leathery, bumpy snout emerges from the water and releases those beady eyes from the thin film, watery surface. You see him. He sees you. How do you get across to the other side? Simple. You jump over him. You jump over this croc. You jump over this obstacle. But you just dont jump over him without anything on hand, without an assurance that you will survive and get to the other side. You just dont jump without thinking. You need a plan. You need a guarantee. Just like in any other guarantee, to be able to study in Australia, one must possess a student visa. (*taken from Student Visas for Australia) Student Visa Requirements To be granted a student visa, you must also: o be accepted for a full-time registered* course; o be able to support yourself while you study; o make arrangements for acceptable overseas student health insurance; o arrange for any accompanying school-aged dependants (aged 5 to 18) to be educated, and have official confirmation of their enrolment (if you are a student with an Australian Government scholarship, you will not have to meet this requirement); o meet Australian health and character requirements. * 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, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) can provide details of registered courses. The Australian government may not grant you a student visa if any of these requirements are not met. Do what needs to be done. Plan. Think. Jump over the croc and get to the other side.
