Episode Details

Australias international student industry, valued at $54 billion, is under threat due to intense migration debates and growing anti-immigration sentiments. The constant media focus on fake applicants, primarily from South Asia, is deterring potential students overseas. The governments crackdown on these non-genuine students, who often use student visas for work, has led to a surge in applications and concerns about the sustainability of the education sector. Experts advise the government to align its domestic and international messaging to combat misinformation in foreign media. Instead of imposing a cap on student numbers, the government has implemented visa controls, slowing down approvals and maintaining overall numbers. Some universities are opening offshore campuses to bypass restrictions, but this may not save struggling local operations in the long term.
