You can bring your spouse with you if you are married while applying for the Australia Study Visa. You will have to fulfill the Visa criteria being the primary applicant. The spouse will also get the Visa if the primary applicant meets the Visa criteria.
If you are coming to Australia to study, you are eligible to bring your family members with you. Either you can include them on your original student visa application or you can apply for their visas once you have started your course in Australia so that they can join you.
