Yes, you can bring your dependents on an Australian student visa. You either include eligible dependents on your primary student visa application or sponsor them once you start your study programs. Your spouse, partner, and children under 18 years old are eligible for the Australian Dependent Visa.
If you include your eligible dependents on your primary student visa application, you must submit their details in Form 157A. As an Australian student visa holder, you must have at least 12 months of validity on the visa, adequate funds, and insurance to support your dependents in Australia.
