by the Department must be provided at the

5. Not being in the correct place at the correct
time
Generally, students leave Australia after the
completion of the study to see families or return
home. It is necessary for the students to know
that the provider of education is not responsible
to inform the Home Affairs Department about the
course completion of the student. If the Home
Affairs department finds out that the student has
left Australia after the study completion then
they might cancel the visa of the student. Hence,
it would be better for the student to lodge the
application for a subclass 485 visa Australia
while staying in Australia as it would depict
that the student has the intention of returning
to Australia.
