Student Guardian Visa (Subclass 590)

Student guardian visa refers to the student’s visa under 18 years of age. In this case, you can offer assistance to more than 1 student at a time.

Once a visa application is processed and it is accepted, you are permitted to stay in Australia as long as the dates on the visa card allow you to. However, if you wish to prolong your journey at any time, you will be allowed to do that through a student guardian visa.

Also, note that you cannot bring your family who is under 6 years of age. And, those who are over 6 years and willing to come would require their own student visitor visa for Australia.
