Reduced!..
Is under Higher Education Sector.

Number of days to process 90% of applications under Postgraduate Research Sector increased from 86days to 88days while time to process 75% of applications decreased from 63days to 51 days

Noted bro!..
what the Moniker asked was for post graduate Course work and not Research work.
So I only commented on the Course work the moniker asked and the processing time actually reduced from 57-77 days to 21- 45 days which was updated on 18/01/2018.
You are absolutely right for the Post graduate research work processing time.
Gracias!.....
Let Visa Grant fall on us.

Bro, you don't get the drift, masters by coursework is under higher education sector, not Post-graduate research sector.

Hello house, now that the processing time has changed, do you think I should contact DIPB ? My application is 63days already. School resumed this past Monday. Thanks.

Amen bro. It will fall on us soon.
Thanks for clarification. I am aware of her/his question, just trying to lend voice to you and other people's contribution on reduction in global processing time on 500 visas

Since your school resumed last Monday.
You can contact them with this processing time update.

Mine has passed the 45 days as regards to the new processing time updated but I got to wait a little before contacting them since my school will resume in February.
Also ask your school if an extension for resumption can be extended to you.

Yes I think you should contact them, since your school has resumed. The best

guys please, my intended course of study is Animal Science M. Sc, university of Sydney is 1.5 years, Bt I'm really keen on the post work study stuff as well. I can't just burn that kind of cash in tuition only to arrive MMA with nothing. please what is the possible legal route to extend the duration so I can at least study for 2 years.

If you have not picked the 1.5 years Masters program yet.
Just look for another MSC that has 2 years duration program.
Or look for courses in your field of discipline and when packed, it can give you 2 years duration of study. i.e package course!..
Or when you are done with the 1.5 years Masters program if you have already picked, apply for an extension of visa with new program to enroll your self in it. Reason: to remain in status and clock 2 years study duration to earn your self 2 years PGWP for Masters Course work and 3 years for Masters research.
But enrolling your self in a new program will cost you money and is capital intensive!..
Gurus!!!!! Your attention needed!..

Alright thanks, school gave 4 days extension so I have opt to differed till May. I’m awaiting new COE. I’d wait for the new COE then before contacting DIBP. Thanks bro. All the best to us

Alright!..
Nice decision you took bro!...
The most important thing is for them to approve your visa for you.
May is not far fetch again.
You can travel in first week of April for your resumption in may.
I know is not easy waiting but try and be calm my dear.

I'm considering studying at Melbourne institute of technology. A packaged course in Networking systems , for 2 years. I have a Bsc in computer science. I'll like to know the pros and cons of studying there in relation to getting visa ? How long does their admission process take ? I wouldn't want to make a wrong decision. Any info about the school will be appreciated.

Thanks

Diploma

My dear you have to visit your school website again and read about your course .
Digest the information you get and form an opinion, then ask questions were things are not clear to you.
For this your course....... there is Bechelor which is 3 years, Graduate diploma which is 1 year and on completion of this graduate diploma you will move in to second year class of the Masters of Networking.... there by jumping the first year of the MSC. I think this is were your packaged course falls in.
They also have the Masters program which is 2 years.
Try and read the small icons with sub heading...Strucures, Outcomes, career, accreditation, entry requirements, etc... they are all for your own consumption. But my mind struck mainly on the accreditation by the professional body (Australian computer society ) . ACS. They have appplied for re- accreditation by this professional body since 2017 which up till now they have not gotten it after the expiration of the one they applied for 2013- 2016.
Please: N/B this does not mean that the course is not registered. It is registered. Am only talking about the professional body. ACP. The course has CRICOS number which signifies that it is registered.
Am only making common sense.
If it appeals to you fine but if it does not fine as well.

The last pic to support my claim!.
The engineering students or scholars will enlighten you more about ACS whether is something one can overlook and go ahead to apply since the course is registered and there are also graduates from this course that have testify as well on the course page.
The school is a nice school.
Situated in a good city as well.
Getting your documents and requirements ready is also vital.
Good SOP, Bank Statement and other personal documents you possess.

Thanks you so much for getting back at me @Albion05 it is a post graduate diploma program which after completion I intend on proceeding to masters. I have taken in consideration everything you mentioned. I sent the school a mail and they replied saying int'l students are to apply using an authorised MIT representative in their country and if there are No MIT representative in your country, ur application will not be able to be processed. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not amongst their list of countries with MIT representative. I'll really like to know if there are any Nigerians schooling there and how they went about it ? Thank you

Happy with the update on reductions, but I believe, the processing times of your application as at the time of application still stands, regardless of the update received. The reduction/increase in processing times as published applied to persons that applies as from 18th January 2018. For instance, if the processing time was 63-86 days as at 15th December 2017, even if the processing time has now reduced, you would have to stick to your own processing time at the time you applied. This is my understanding. I am not trying to discourage anyone from making contact. Just trying to establish what I think the dynamics looks like. I be JJC and I stand to be corrected.

Noted!...
but what you just said does not stand.
Anytime processing time is been updated it reflects all on the application.
For example... if I applied on the 23/11/2017 and as at that time the processing time was 45-57 days and it was updated on the 20/12/2917 to 57- 77 days. From this indication I can't contact them because am still withing the processing time. The period am suppose to contact them if the update that was done on 20/12/2017 stands till feb, 7 2017. I will contact them from 8th feb, 2018. If you calculate it that gives you exactly 77 days.
But an update was done today been the 18th of January, 2018 to 21-45 days for higher education sector to be specific. So calculate from 23/11/2017 when you submitted your application with the new update. I have simply surpass my processing time based on the 21- 45 days. So am eligible to write or email them because my processing time have surpass.
