    Hi, We extended our visa before by applying for another student visa.
    I'm pretty sure you can apply for TV as long as there's no clause in your current visa that says "no further stay." Just provide a good letter to immigration why you want to extend your stay here (as a tourist)

    @tooanxious We were on a 573 visa then we applied for another student visa to extend our stay. If you'll apply for TV that doesn't have work rights. Are you in Melb? You can ask for AECC Global assistance. They're free of charge.
