<blockquote rel="Valiant_Reed">Hello, if I want to study Aged Care in Australia through Student Visa 572, ano po ang unsa kong gagawin. As a noob, ano po ang initial research na gagawin ko? Please if sino ang may time to point or guide me to the right direction I will really appreciate it.
Na refuse kasi ang tourist visa ko, I have to go to my plan B which is student visa. I am reading the immi website and some threads related to student visas.
- Will my refused tourist visa application be a problem when I apply for student visa? 
- Kailangan ko po bang pumunta sa IDP regarding my interest? Sila po ba ang makapagbibigay sakin ng full information or steps on what to do? 
- Pastoral Theology po ang natapos ko, acceptable po ba ito for Aged Care study? 
I am so eager to kick start my Student Visa application pero di pa ako sure sa step 1.
What I will do tomorrow is go to IDP tomorrow to inquire.
 
Salamat ng marami.</blockquote>
Hi @valiant_reed, i'm not an expert pero ill try to share what i know, recently lang po ba na refuse ang tourist visa application nyo? Kasi po sa student application form 157a may questions dun regarding past visa refusal so i think it will be a factor in assessing your student visa. It is a wise choice po to consult IDP since sila po mga expert regarding this matters. Make sure to call and book an appointment first.
Sa 572 po need po proof of funds and regarding po sa course if unrelated po sa previous course of study nyo, you should state why po iyon ang pinili nyo course, ano plan nyo after matapos yung course and how will it help your career after mga ganun bagay po. Medyo 50/50 daw po if unrelated ang course pero we have fellow members here po na na approve ang visa nila kahit na unrelated ang kinuha nila na course.
You can also seek for kuya danyan2001us advice since very knowledgeable po siya and marami na po siya natulungan dito sa forum natin.
God Bless po.
