AAERI’s Advice to Students Planning to Study in Australia
As a trusted association of education agents representing Australian institutions, AAERI (Association of Australian Education Representatives in India) offers the following guidance to help students make informed, ethical, and successful choices for their international education journey:
✅ Choose Only AAERI Members
AAERI members follow a strict Code of Ethics and are committed to transparent and professional practices. AAERI Members do not charge students more than ₹25,000/- in service fees (if any) for their counselling, admission and visa support services for Australia.
You can verify a member through our website: www.aaeri.org.in
📄 Verify Your Documents
Always ensure your academic and financial documents are genuine and verifiable.
Ask your agent to use the AAERI DigiVerifier tool, which helps in secure, digital verification of key documents via platforms like DigiLocker.
🎓 Select Genuine Courses and Institutions
Make career-focused decisions based on your academic background, skills, and goals.
Be cautious of agents or individuals promoting "easy pathways" or short-term gains over genuine academic intent.
💬 Be Honest During the Visa Process
Australia requires you to be a Genuine Student (GS), with clear study intentions. Misrepresentation or fraudulent documents can lead to visa refusal and long-term bans.
Clearly state your study intentions, future plans, and funding sources.
🔄 Be Informed About Policy Changes
Australian visa, admission, and post-study policies may change.
Stay updated through your AAERI member agent or the official websites of DHA, Australian universities, and AAERI updates.
💡 Ask Questions. Don’t Hesitate.
Understand every document before you sign.
Clarify your rights, refund policies, living costs, and accommodation options.
⚖️ Do Not Get Lured by Misleading Promises
Avoid shortcuts or false promises like "guaranteed visas" or "100% job placement".
Remember, the quality of your education and integrity of your application matter more than promises of instant results.
🧑💼 Post-Arrival Support
Know your rights as a student in Australia.
Many universities offer orientation, career services, and support for international students.
Maintain academic progress and comply with your visa conditions at all times. Please see: Student Visa Sub Class 500 Conditions
