The service,
in plain terms.
Education Services covers the study decisions you make after you have arrived in Australia.
- Choosing a course, changing course or level with your current provider, moving to a different provider, or planning further study once a qualification finishes.
- Your student visa is granted against your enrolment, so changing what, where or when you study can affect that visa.
- Whether a transfer is open to you, and what each provider has to do, depends on your circumstances and on rules set outside Grace.
- Providers set their own entry requirements, intakes and conditions of enrolment.
- Credit or recognition of prior learning can shorten a course, but the provider decides whether to grant it.
- Entry usually needs academic prerequisites and English proficiency (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or equivalent). Scores vary by provider, course and level, and your branch confirms the current requirements.
- Grace compares options side by side across the Australian institutions in its partner directory.
- Costs differ by provider and course, and changing provider may reset tuition, amenity fees or the payment schedule. Your branch helps you compare costs as well as course content.
- None of this replaces a provider's conditions of enrolment, or advice from a registered migration agent about your visa.

have to line up.

Plan further study after your current qualification, including pathways between levels

How it works
From first question
to finished process.
Start with where you are
We go through your current enrolment, the study you have completed, your visa circumstances and what prompted the question.
↗Shortlist the options
Courses and providers that fit your goals, compared against each other rather than considered one at a time.
↗Check what a change involves
A change of course, level or provider carries conditions from the provider and consequences for your visa. We identify them, and tell you where registered migration advice is needed.
↗Apply
We prepare the application with you, including any credit or recognition-of-prior-learning request, and submit it to the provider.
↗Enrol and start
Offer letter, acceptance, enrolment paperwork and start date, with your branch following it through to the first day.
↗Before you move
What a transfer
actually involves.
- Whether your current provider requires written release or has a cooling-off period
- Whether the new provider needs a new CoE and updated enrolment details
- How any credit or recognition of prior learning carries across
- What the change means for your visa conditions and reporting obligations
- Whether your OSHC or other cover needs updating
- The financial side — tuition differences, refund policies and payment timing
Key details
The specifics,
checked not guessed.
We confirm these with you directly.
Fees, dates, eligibility and available options for this service change regularly. We would rather check the current position with you than publish figures that quietly go stale. Your nearest branch has today’s answer.
