A series of reforms were introduced to support the integrity of the international education system and genuine international students, including the Genuine Student Requirement, English language requirements, and financial capacity requirements.
The latest Provider Update in July 2024 covers significant developments and statistics related to Student and Temporary Graduate visas.
Key points include:
Student and Temporary Graduate Visa Data:
• There were 580,193 student visa applications lodged globally in the 2023-24 program year, a 1.75% decrease compared to the previous year.
• The grant rate for applications lodged in Australia was 83.7%, while it was 78.3% for those lodged outside Australia.
• Data from the Department of Home Affairs shows that 441,613 student visas were lodged from July 2023 to May 2024, with 289,509 granted.
It is worth noting, reporting on Australian student visas approval rates have dropped significantly to be the lowest level in nearly two decades. The focus on students comes after an announcement from government in December 2023 to decrease immigration to pre-pandemic levels. Students are one of the largest proportions contributing to net migration.
