580 Student Guardian

International students studying in Australia on a student visa may require a guardian if they are under 18 years of age. There may also be exceptional circumstances where a student over 18 years of age may need a guardian for religious or cultural reasons. The Student Guardian visa is for foreign nationals applying to stay in Australia as the guardian of a student who is studying in Australia. You can lodge your application for a student guardian visa at the same time that the student lodges their student visa application, or after the student arrives in Australia.
