That visa looks like it's for someone who wants to go study and get a degree in Australia. I think either the Short Stay Activity (subclass 400), Work and Holiday (subclass 462), or Electronic travel authority/business visitor (subclass 601) would work depending on whether you will get support from your host institution (although I don't know for sure). They all take different amounts of time to process and the prices are a bit different. I emailed Rick about this but he just responded that we should coordinate the in-country support and visa directly with our host, which I find a little bit confusing. For Australia, a few people have told me to look on the website http://www.gumtree.com.au/ which is basically Craigslist for Australia. I was hoping to find a place that way but haven't heard back from any places I've contacted, so I might do Airbnb as well. I was hoping to go in early July, I hope the timing can work out!

I also heard positively from Australia. I emailed the Universities Australia contact and haven't heard anything back yet. Does anyone who has been to Australia or who is planning to go know what sort of information we can expect from them? For example, I'm not sure what type of visa is required since there is in-country support. Does anyone know if a letter of invitation will be supplied for a Short Stay Activity visa?
