The Roadmap to Australia

Current Mandate: The "Genuine Student" (GS) test has strictly replaced GTE. You must prove your course progression is logical.

01

Get Your CoE

3-4 Months Before

The Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) is your "Golden Ticket." You receive this only after accepting your university offer, paying the tuition deposit, and purchasing OSHC insurance.

Requires OSHC Purchase

Genuine Student (GS) Test

Current Standard

You must answer targeted questions about your study history and career goals.
Key Rule: You cannot "course hop" (e.g., switch from a Master's to a cheaper Diploma) once in Australia.

Strict "No Downgrading" Policy
