The goal
Inside the decision

What Genuine Student assessors actually look for.

Since GS replaced the GTE, decisions turn on four things. Weakness in any one of them is how strong applicants get refused.

I

Your circumstances

Ties to home, ties to Australia, immigration history — do they support a genuine study purpose?

II

Course logic

Why this course, this provider, this city — and how it advances your actual career, not a generic one.

III

Financial reality

Genuine access to funds — the ≈$29,710/yr benchmark plus course fees — evidenced cleanly, not creatively.

IV

Consistency

Your statements, documents and history telling one coherent story. Contradictions sink applications.

Interactive

How ready is your application, honestly?

Tick what you already have. Most refusals trace back to gaps on this exact list — and every gap here is something we prepare with you before lodgement.
