## Resource

Australia’s tightening immigration rules hit international students hard—most can no longer bring family, sparking alarm across the education sector. PhD students, those from select Southeast Asian and Pacific nations, and students already with family in Australia remain exempt. The move, part of a broader effort to curb net migration, also bans “visa hopping,” forcing students to reapply if switching courses. Critics fear this could slash billions in foreign student revenue and hurt regional economies reliant on that spending. For students, the emotional toll is real—many are grappling with the loss of family connection while building lives abroad.
