The Australian government announced a new National Planning Level for international student programs in 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Current international students will not be affected by these changes, and the allotments do not include enrollments or offers. The following categories of individuals will be excluded: international students enrolled at an Australian provider studying an Australian transnational education or twinning program, students from the Pacific and Timor-Leste, and “standalone” ELICOS students, among others. The complete list of exempted student cohorts not impacted can be found here.
BAL Analysis: The new 2025 student commencement numbers will be set at around 2023 levels — the government aims to decrease the number of foreign students allowed to enter Australia to pre-pandemic levels. The government will allot slots in the vocational education and training sector to provide more training opportunities for international students alongside Australian students.
