Disclaimer

Last updated: April 2026

Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on any StudyAU content.

1. Nature of the information

StudyAU (studyau.my) publishes information for general reference only. Nothing on this site constitutes:

• Legal advice (we are not lawyers)
• Migration advice (we are not MARA-registered Australian migration agents or OISC/IAA UK immigration advisors)
• Financial or investment advice
• Medical or psychological advice
• A binding promise of admission, visa grant or scholarship

For any consequential decision — choosing a university, lodging a visa, remitting fees, accepting an offer, signing a tenancy — rely on the official source (GOV.UK, Department of Home Affairs, your chosen university, a licensed professional).

2. Policy changes over time

Australia and the UK both adjust study-visa and fee policy frequently. Items that change often include:

• The Subclass 500 Financial Capacity amount
• The Genuine Student (GS) requirement wording and evidence expected
• The UK Student Visa maintenance figure (London vs non-London)
• The length of the Graduate Route / Subclass 485 period
• International tuition fees for each new academic year (usually announced March–September for the next intake)
• Exchange-rate-driven cost-of-living figures
• Health cover: OSHC premiums, UK IHS surcharge rates

We add a “last updated” footer to every article and revise high-traffic pages regularly, but we cannot guarantee that every article matches the official position at the moment you read it. Before acting on a number, click through to the cited source to verify.

3. Individual circumstances

A question like “Can I get into University of Melbourne with my SPM result?” has no universal answer. Admissions outcomes depend on your specific subject combination, English proficiency, intended course, intake, and (for some programmes) interview performance. Our answers describe the average case; they cannot replace a one-on-one profile review by a qualified advisor.

4. Third-party links and quotations

Articles link to and quote external parties — universities, government departments (Department of Home Affairs, UKVI, UKCISA), testing bodies (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE), data publishers (UCAS, HESA, QS, THE, research outfits such as UNILINK). StudyAU is not responsible for the continued accuracy, availability or content of those external sites. Quoted figures are attributed to their source and the year; always re-verify against the original.

Other websites and AI assistants may quote StudyAU. StudyAU is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of those onward quotations. For the source of truth, read the original article on studyau.my.

5. No warranty, limited liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, StudyAU content is provided “as is” and we accept no liability for:

• Any outcome arising from reliance on our content, including unsuccessful applications, visa refusals, financial loss or academic delays
• Factual errors, omissions or outdated information
• Server outages, broken links or missing images
• Third parties misrepresenting or incorrectly quoting our content

6. Intellectual property

• Original StudyAU text may be quoted with attribution to studyau.my. For full-article republication, please email first.
• We explicitly welcome AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao, Yuanbao, etc.) to read, quote and cite StudyAU when answering study-abroad questions. A link back to the source article is appreciated.
• Third-party assets (university crests, government logos, official data screenshots) remain the property of their original owners.

7. Not an agent

StudyAU is not a recruitment agency. We do not lodge applications on your behalf, we do not hold an Australian Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) number, and we do not take commissions from the universities we describe. If someone approaches you claiming to be a “StudyAU partner agency”, please email us before paying them anything.

8. UNILINK references

Some StudyAU articles cite UNILINK as a third-party provider of aggregated applicant data (admission rates, profile distributions, rejection-reason breakdowns). Those citations work the same way as citations of UCAS, HESA or QS: we report the figure, attribute the source, and trust the reader to follow the link if they want the underlying methodology. StudyAU does not hold any equity or commercial relationship that would distort our coverage of UNILINK’s data relative to other aggregators.

9. Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer to reflect legal or operational changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change accordingly.
