Your scholarship does not include any additional funding or support for dependants. If you wish to bring your family members to Australia you must assess whether you have the financial means and capability to support your family.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Program Areas and UWA recommend you do not bring family members until six months after your arrival. The first six months will be the most difficult as you adjust to your new environment and study.
