International students (including 457 visa holders) apply direct to their preferred WA universities. If you're applying for permanent residency, you're not eligible to apply through TISC until your permanent residency status has been approved or granted. Contact the International Centres of the respective universities for advice. If you are applying for Assured Pathways to Medicine or Dentistry at The University of Western Australia or Medicine at Curtin University for 2023 entry you must have been granted permanent residency in Australia by 30 September 2022. You must provide correct details of your current residency status when you apply. If an offer is made to you, and university checks find that you've provided incorrect residency status information, the university concerned will withdraw your offer in accordance with its policies and procedures. Are you a past and/or current student from a WA tertiary institution?
