Thank you for your question! In Australia, your parents cannot accompany you as dependents on your student visa (subclass 500). Only your spouse/partner and dependent children can be included as dependents on your student visa application.

However, your parents can visit you in Australia by applying for a Visitor Visa (subclass 600) or other relevant temporary visas. These visas are typically for short visits, and your parents would need to meet the eligibility requirements and provide supporting documents for their application.

Key Points:

- Student Visa (subclass 500) Dependents: Only spouse/partner and children.
- Parents: Cannot be added as dependents but can visit you on a Visitor Visa.
- Visitor Visa: Usually valid for 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on the type and application.

If your parents wish to visit you during your studies, Pollster Education can guide them through the visitor visa application process.
