澳-皇家墨尔本理工大学-境内485/408 签证持有人申请流程重要更新

Dear Partners,

We’d like to announce a key change to the application process for onshore applicants.

Following our recent announcement regarding the Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education (GD204), we are now extending this update to all programs:

• Eligible applicants who are currently onshore and hold a valid Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) or Temporary Activity (subclass 408) visa will no longer be required to submit a Genuine Student Statement of Purpose (GS SOP) – even if their visa does not cover the full duration of their proposed studies.

This change reflects our commitment to reducing barriers and supporting eligible onshore students through a more streamlined application process.

If you would like to revisit any July 2025 intake applications that were previously declined due to GS SOP, and the student currently holds a valid 485 or 408 visa, please contact the onshore team directly.

For information on Genuine Student requirement and visa application process for onshore applicants, please visit: Department of Home Affairs.

For any questions or further clarification, feel free to reach out – we’re here to help.
