Welfare arrangements for students under the age of 18

In order for an applicant under the age of 18 to be granted a student visa they must demonstrate that they have adequate welfare arrangements in place for the length of the student visa or until they turn 18.

Public Interest Criteria (PIC) 4012A requires that the student reside with one of the following:

Education providers who approve welfare for students under the age of 18 are required to nominate the specific dates for which they are willing to do so on the Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) letter.

Students under the age of 18 who are undertaking a package of courses with different providers will need to obtain separate CAAW letters from each provider.

In some circumstances we envisage that students will need to liaise closely with their providers to encourage them to bridge any gaps between courses where welfare is not provided.  Unless continuous welfare arrangements are in place (i.e. Provider X arrangements cease on 15/06/2008 and Provider Y's begin on 16/06/08) DIAC will only grant the visa end date based on the date that the first welfare arrangements cease.

A fact sheet for education providers on the changes to the Migration Regulations for students under the age of 18 is also available at http://www.immi.gov.au/students/_pdf/Changes-to-migration-regulations-students-under-18.pdf
