International Student Visa changes ensure viability of the sector

The Government's endorsement of the review of Australia's Student Visa Program will create a more streamlined system for international students wishing to study in Australia.  These reforms will ensure international education in Australia remains competitive.

"It is a major step forward to recognise that students selected by universities from any country should be subject to a quick, efficient visa assessment that ensures the basic questions identified by Mr Knight of the applicant's desire for education and intent to adhere to visa requirements". said Professor Ian O'Connor, IRU Chair.
