Yes, absolutely. Our services for students, from university selection to visa filing, are 100% free. We are officially funded by the Australian universities we partner with, so you don't have to pay us anything.

You need to show funds for your first year of tuition, plus living expenses for one year (approx. AUD 31,250), and travel costs (approx. AUD 2,500). The total amount varies, and our Funds Calculator can give you a good estimate.

For the major July 2026 intake, it's best to apply between January and March 2026. For the February 2027 intake, applications should be submitted between September and November 2026. It's always better to apply early.

While our success rate is 98.9%, rejections can happen. In such a rare case, we will analyze the refusal reason, guide you on the next steps, which could be reapplying with a stronger application or appealing the decision, where possible.
