Important InformationMassage Schools of Queensland

To be eligible for an Australian Student Visa, international students must enrol on a full-time basis, either into our Certificate IV or our Diploma courses.

Important information about living and studying in Australia

Student Health Insurance

Overseas students studying in Australia must have private health insurance as a condition of a Student Visa. Australia's national health system, Medicare only covers Australian citizens and permanent residents. We recommend Medibank Private and we can arrange a membership for you prior to your arrival.

English Language Skills

International students will require a minimum IELTS Language Score of 4.5 (or equivalent) for Certificate IV courses, and between 5.0 - 5.5 (or equivalent) for Diploma courses. Sound written and oral English language skills are necessary, and a Language Literacy & Numeracy Assessment is available.

For international students who require language assessment or assistance to improve their English reading, writing and speaking skills, we are able to recommend a respected local language training facility.

Employment

International students residing in Australia under a student visa are permitted to find employment for up to 20 hours per week, and employment details are registered with Immigration.  However, employment can not affect your course attendance requirements. Part-time students studying whilst on a tourist visa are not permitted to work during that time.

Enrolment

Students must be over 18 to apply to study at Massage Schools of Queensland.

Students must notify Massage Schools of Queensland of their Australian address and contact details within seven days of arrival. Any changes to these details must be reported immediately.

Granting Course Credits

Applicants who consider that they have completed appropriate training or have through prior learning and experience gained the required skills/competencies for some of the units of the course, may be granted credit upon substantiation of that claim.

Where a student is granted credits for part of the training course prior to granting the visa the Confirmation of Enrolment will reflect the adjusted time frame.

If the course credit is granted after the visa, DIAC will be advised of the change to the Visa requirement via PRISMS.

Special Conditions for International Students

Students must attend the school for a minimum of 20 hours a week and you cannot defer, suspend or cancel your course except under very specific circumstances.

Students must maintain an acceptable level of achievement throughout the course to ensure that all studies will be completed within the timeframe of the Visa. Massage Schools of Queensland is obliged to report to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) any student whose attendance or academic progress is not satisfactory.

International students cannot change to another provider until after the first six months of their principal course except under special circumstances. 

All of this information is detailed in the Handbook for International Students.  This is an important document and you must read it carefully to understand your rights and obligations as an International Student.
