Thank you to @ViggyRam - I copied this from one of your posts, thank you

General advice: International students have higher chancers because they pay a lot more. Also in order to get a unconditional offer, you will need to supply a letter from your school that says you’ve finished your courses or supply a diploma
@CoastalKid congratulations!!! Do you think international students have an advantage though? I’ve always heard that they don’t because only a couple get accepted every year, making an acceptance hard as you’re competing with a lot of people. Anyone’s thoughts?
To be honest, I’m not very sure. I think for some of the schools in Australia, definitely. Mainly because I’ll being paying 20-30k more than domestic students. But I’m not sure about every uni, because they’re all different sizes and ranking. USyd however is a massive school with a good amount of international students.
