Exchange programs provide the opportunity for international students to study in Australia and for
Australian students to study overseas.
The secondary student exchange program in WA is a state specific reciprocal program whereby
students from another country are enrolled as full-time students in a WA secondary school for a
period ranging from three months (or one full school term) to one year. Under similar program
conditions students from WA are able to enrol full-time, in a recognised course of study in an
overseas country.
Through collaboration with the Department of Education, The Independent Schools Association,
Catholic Education and the registered exchange organisations, international students must enter
Australia on a 571 Student Exchange visa. This visa will only be issued for a student who is
enrolled in full-time secondary study at a recognised secondary institution, in a recognised
course of study. Payment of overseas student health cover is also a pre-condition for the visa.
Australian students must have completed Year 10 to be included in the program. International
students must be over the age of 15 years.
The following Secondary Exchange Organisations (SEO) are approved to provide
secondary student exchange programs in Western Australia:

AFS Intercultural Exchange

Australian Institute of International Understanding

Rotary District 9455/9465
Southern Cross Cultural Exchange
STS Student Exchange
Student Exchange Australia New Zealand
Youth for Understanding

INCOMING STUDENTS
Registered exchange organisations approach schools directly to determine whether they are
prepared to accept an exchange student.
The decision whether or not to participate in an exchange program rests entirely with the school.
This decision will be based on the school being satisfied with the particular arrangements, with
the capacity and support for the program from the school community and with the perceived
benefits to the school.
When approached, schools can assume that a registered exchange organisation will be able to
provide adequate local support and pastoral care of the overseas students. Failure to provide
appropriate support may lead to deregistration of the exchange organisation.
Selecting, arranging, vetting and monitoring Homestay is the responsibility of the registered
organisations.
Any concerns regarding an overseas exchange student's welfare, attendance, behaviour or
decline in performance should be taken up with the relevant registered exchange organisation.

OUTGOING STUDENTS

Access to students by registered exchange organisations is at the discretion of the Principal.

Selection and arrangements for students to join an overseas exchange program is a matter
between the student, the parents and the registered exchange organisations.
Australian Schools are not responsible for students while overseas on exchange.
