Labor tightens further batch of student visa policy

Under the 10 years of LNP government rule the rorts and scams have been unprecedented. Child Minding, Education, NDIS, and Temporary Work Visas, all became a hornet’s nest of corrupt operators never witnessed before.

If these and the changes announced a few weeks ago are effective (and properly resourced), we should see a sharp increase in providers being de-registered over the next 6-12 months and a gradual decline in both onshore and offshore student visa application rates. That will help reduce the contribution of students to net migration from the currently unsustainable levels (for example, 219,340 or over 56 per cent in 2022).
