Can my education consultant also help with my student visa application?

Some can, some cannot — it depends on whether the consultant or their firm also holds MARA registration. **What an education consultant can do:** - Help you choose a course and institution - Assist with the application to the institution - Explain what GTE means and help you understand the requirements - Advise on OSHC (health insurance) **What they cannot do unless they hold MARA registration:** - Provide immigration advice or assistance for a fee - Prepare or lodge your student visa application - Give formal advice about your visa eligibility Some education consultancy firms employ MARA-registered migration agents who handle the visa side. On CompareMyAgents, profiles indicate whether a firm also offers MARA-registered migration advice. [Compare education consultants →](/education-consultants)
