student visa applications lodged outside Australia by:
Schools sector, Foreign Affairs or Defence sector, and Postgraduate Research sector applicants
Higher Education, English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS), Vocational Education and Training (VET), and Non-Award sector applicants studying at an education provider with an Evidence Level 1
subsequent entrant applications lodged outside Australia that include an unmarried family member under 18 years
all Student Guardian visa applications (lodged in or outside Australia).
Any secondary applicant (spouse, de-facto partner or dependent child) who is included in the primary visa application will be given the same priority as the primary applicant.
Subsequent entrant means a secondary applicant for a student visa who did not make a combined application with the primary applicant / primary visa holder.
