Student Visa
If you have applied for your student visa (subclass 500) and are still waiting for an outcome, you must attach the updated Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) to your student visa application through your Department of Home Affairs (DHA) ImmiAccount if your deferral request and acceptance are successful.
Once your student visa has been granted you should not travel to Australia earlier than 3 weeks prior to your new course start date. Being in Australia for an extended period without an active enrolment may be a breach of your visa conditions, which could lead to a cancellation. For more information on student visa conditions refer to the Department of Home Affairs website.
OSHC
If you purchased your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) through Curtin University, we will organise a change of policy date (additional payment may be required).
If you have arranged your own OSHC, it is your responsibility to organise a change of policy date with your OSHC provider accordingly and attach the new evidence of OSHC to your ImmiAccount along with your new COE.
