Articles for Indian Students on Australia: Genuine Student Answers, Evidence Levels, the 485, Costs and Loans
The guides on this site cover each subject in full. These articles take one question at a time, the kind an Indian family weighs before paying a deposit, and answer it with figures from the Department of Home Affairs, the universities and state governments.

Where to start
If you have an offer, start with the Genuine Student and evidence articles: they decide whether the visa is granted. If you are still choosing, read the 485 and Go8-versus-regional articles first, because the course level and campus location decide how long you can work afterwards.
