Yes, your sister, as an Australian citizen, can financially sponsor your Australian student visa application by showing funds for your education and living expenses.

She should provide:
- A sponsorship declaration stating her intent to support you
- Proof of funds, such as recent bank statements or income tax returns, demonstrating her financial capacity

The funds must be genuine, stable, and easily traceable. The Department of Home Affairs reviews financial documents carefully, especially for applicants from higher-risk countries like India.

Cash income, business income or no ITR?

See whether your funds and documents will pass the Australian visa check.
