These dates are for international applicants. Domestic dates, and the exact date for a specific course, can differ. Always confirm on Australian National University’s own website before you rely on a date.
Once you have an offer, you accept it, pay the deposit, and receive a Confirmation of Enrolment, then you apply for the subclass 500 student visa. Build that time into your plan: from some countries the visa alone takes one to three months.
