Will my parents' income tax returns be sufficient for the Australian student visa application?

No, your parents' income tax returns (ITRs) alone are not sufficient for an Australian student visa application.

You must show evidence of genuine access to enough funds for tuition, living expenses (currently AUD 29,710/year as of March 2026), and travel (about AUD 2,000). Acceptable documents include recent bank statements, education loan sanction letters, scholarship award letters, and fixed deposit receipts. An affidavit of financial support from your parents can also help.

ITRs can support your case but must be combined with these financial proofs. If you need help organizing the required documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
