I’m not between the ages of 18-30. Can I still apply?

You may apply if you will be between the ages of 18-30 at the date of application. The RSSP is specifically designed for youth. As there are limited places, we are unable to extend the age range for this intake. Additional context regarding the inability to make exceptions can be attributed to guidelines established and enforced by the Australian Government. Unfortunately, exceptions, including on compassionate grounds, are not permitted. For individuals not meeting the age or other RSSP eligibility criteria, there are alternative avenues such as international skilled mobility initiatives and refugee talent matching programs. These programs provide career and resettlement opportunities for those with relevant skills or humanitarian experiences.
