Students under 18 years of age studying on a student visa and living in Australia must have their accommodation and welfare arrangements approved by John Paul College
Students who are accompanied by a parent to Australia and with whom they are living, or students who will be living with a suitable relative in Australia, will not be issued a Letter of Accommodation and Welfare by the College. The parent or suitable relative must apply for a Guardian Visa (SC580) to accompany their child/ren to Australia.
Where the parents nominate a suitable relative, as identified above, a letter from the parents giving their approval for their son/daughter to be cared for by the nominated relative(s) and informing the College of their relationship to the student, together with documented evidence proving this relationship, must accompany the application for enrolment of the student.
If a parent or suitable relative enters Australia, however, on a Visitor’s Visa, the student under 18 years of age will be placed in the John Paul College homestay program and a Letter of Accommodation and Welfare issued.
