Australia Study Visa with Family – Complete Guide
By Globexa Immigration
Australia is not just one of the best countries for education — it is also one of the most family-friendly study destinations in the world. Many students don’t know that while studying in Australia, they can legally bring their spouse and children along.
At Globexa Immigration, we help students plan their Australia study journey with their family, ensuring smooth visa approval and a stress-free transition.
1. Can International Students Bring Family to Australia?
Yes! Under the Australia Student Visa (Subclass 500), you can include your:
✔ Spouse / De facto partner
✔ Dependent children
They are called “Subsequent Entrants” or Dependent Family Members.
You can:
Apply together with your family
ORApply for them after your visa is granted
2. Who Can You Take With You?
1. Spouse / Partner
Your husband, wife, or legally recognized partner can accompany you.
2. Dependent Children
Biological children
Adopted children
Stepchildren (in some cases)
Children must generally be under 18 years, but some older dependents may qualify under special conditions.
