Will the 457 visa ban have an effect on foreign students studying in Australia?
The 457 visa ban won’t have any direct impact on foreign students. Similarly, a student visa holder won’t be affected by the 457 visa changes. However, if students plan to apply for the 457 Visa, they will be in the same position as other people applying for the 457 Visa.
Students looking to get work visa will have to apply for the permanent visa directly, rather than risking a temporary working visa.

Can I enter Australia before my OSHC starts?
No, one cannot arrive in Australia before the OSHC starts. The Department of Home
Affairs work meticulously to maintain compliance of health insurance in Australia.
If you do not have OSHC plan when you arrive in Australia, you are in breach of student visa condition, which could cause many problems, with the rejection of visa being the major one. As such, you must not enter Australia before your OSHC has begun and
you must not remain in Australia without health insurance. If you arrive in Australia
before or after the date of your OSHC commencement, you will need to update the
coverage duration of your OSHC policy.
OSHC is required when applying for the student visa
You cannot get a student visa without submitting a valid overseas student health cover
for that period. You cannot enter Australia without a valid visa. International students
from some European countries might not require OSHC as they have reciprocal health
care arrangement with Australia.

What Should I know about the local Australian culture?
It’s always good to get connected with people rather than feeling lonely. While being connected through culture, the bond gets closer and stronger while we get to know about the culture that next person. Through the exchange of lifestyle, you can feel like home in a foreign land surrounded by people with uniqueness. Australia is rich in culture and has diversity in it.
The culture of Australia is primarily a Western culture, to some extent derived from Britain but also influenced by the unique geography of Australia, the cultural input of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and other Australian people. The dominant religion in Australia is Christianity, with about 52% of the population identifying as Christian.
Australians are generally laid back, open and direct.
