While the government says this ensures students are genuinely pursuing education, not just a pathway to work, critics warn it could hurt Australia’s global appeal and push students toward countries like France offering English-taught degrees. Exceptions exist for existing family members, PhD students, and some Southeast Asian and Pacific learners, but visa extensions now require moving to a higher qualification. The cost of living and tuition — often triple domestic rates — may become even harder to manage without partner support.
