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
    OR

  • Apply 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.

3. Work Rights for Spouse in Australia

This is one of the biggest advantages.

Student Course TypeSpouse Work Rights
Bachelor DegreeUp to 48 hours per fortnight
Master’s Degree (Coursework)Up to 48 hours per fortnight

This means your partner can earn, gain experience, and support family expenses while you study.

Some states may charge school fees, while others offer subsidized education depending on visa and region.
