An RMA in WA is desperate for a contact number at the DIBP in WA as follows:
 
"Hello Migration Alliance

I am a member of MA, and am wondering if you could provide me with the contact number for the Western Australia students centre. I have tried multiple avenues to obtain this, and called 131881, but the DIBP won't provide me with it.

We have an urgent student visa application lodged, processing has gone well beyond advertised times, multiple emails sent to the WA Students Centre and are simply not being responded to." 
 
If anyone has a number for the student section at DIBP in WA please send it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Immigration is a very controversial topic these days, thanks to the refugee situation all over the world and over here in Australia. We have always been pro-immigration but there are clearly many people who think that immigration is a bad thing and should be curbed as much as possible. To these people immigration is stupid and dangerous; to them it is like inviting someone else to live in your house off of your money. We do not feel the same way and thought it was time we explained why we like immigration so much.

It leads to more skilled people joining us

Do you know why so many people are willing to move to Australia from their home countries? It is because they do not like the living standards in their own country.

Do well in your studies and a visa could well be waiting for you in South Australia. In a drive to draw and keep the best brains in the state after graduation, the South Australian government has announced that it will be making it easier for talented international graduates of South Australian public universities to qualify for state nomination through the ‘high performing graduate’ category.

Less than 10% of the total foreign student population in Australia, study in South Australia’s 3 public universities namely University of South Australia, University of Adelaide and Flinders University.

That could change with this policy which is set to make the state more attractive to international students, particularly the high-achievers. Immigration SA, has announced that graduates must meet all of the following requirements to be eligible for the program:
