If you are applying to study in Australia for less than 12 months, your family members are not eligible to come with you to Australia. However, you must show that you have enough funds to support your family members in your home country, taking into consideration the standard cost of living in that country.

3.5m yung need namin mapakita.
Wife (student)
me and son (10yrs old)
3yrs BSN ang kinuha namin. But yung anak namin iiwan muna kasi mahirap kung kami tatlo tapos skol si wiffey then ako maghahanap ng work. Patay tayo sa child services kung walang babysitter. Kukunin lang namin sya pag stable na kami, eta 1yr-2yrs.
yep, yan din ang tinanong namin sa agent namin. Panibagong process ulit pag di isasama ang anak namin more hassle on our part.
malaki kasi nga 10yrs old, para mapakita din na capable tayo to put them to school.
yep 10% ba hinihingi nila for that "sponsorship"
