Western Australia is Australia’s largest state and covers the entire Western third of the country. So, if you want to live and study in Western Australia, your choices are not restricted to Perth!

TAFE Western Australia has seven regional campuses all around the state offering courses open to international students. The campuses are divided up by area:

“I have wanted to go to New Zealand since first watching Lord of the Rings when I was 11, and I finally got the chance to go there on a working holiday visa in 2011.

For 2017, the Northern Sydney Institute, part of TAFE NSW is offering the highest number of scholarships (forty) to international students to study a diploma or advanced diploma, an associate or bachelor degree. Each scholarship contributes AU$2,000 towards the tuition fees for a TAFE NSW course.
