Minister for Education Jason Clare announced the Accord legislation has passed both houses. Image: Martin Ollman
Prior to the Bill making its way to the Senate, it had been scrutinised by a cross party inquiry, which ultimately recommended that it be passed. At the inquiry, Universities Australia (UA) chief Luke Sheehy said his organisation had concerns about the ministerial powers in the legislation. “In this Bill, we believe the Minister is seeking too much power over individual universities,” Mr Sheehy said. “The government has sensibly narrowed section 36-65, and we welcome that, but the underlying power remains. A minister could still impose unreasonable conditions directly on the funding of an individual university. Universities are accountable for public money, governments should set national priorities. But universities are autonomous institutions, they are not departments of state.” The Group of Eight (Go8) also had serious concerns about the section After 42 amendments, the Universities Accord Bill will enshrine dealing with ministerial powers, which needs-based and managed growth funding. was ultimately removed from the legislation after lobbying by the sector.

VISA CHANGES GO LIVE The government reforms are designed to stop visa hopping and close transfer loopholes. BY REBECCA COX
T
he Labor government has implemented its reforms in an attempt to stop visa hopping, close transfer loopholes and impose tighter rules around international students bringing family with them to Australia. As of October, the changes laid out in its new immigration policy have come into effect. International students will no longer be able to apply for visas from within Australia, switch from university to vocational training, or transfer between institutions, according to Assistant Minister for International Education Julian Hill. While acknowledging the value of the international education market, Mr Hill said the changes aim to retain the quality of the industry, while targeting misuse of temporary visas. “This is a sweeping package of reforms that gets the balance right to tighten integrity, manage numbers in a sensible way without trashing one of our nation’s largest and proudest export sectors as some loud, ill-informed voices seek to do,” he said.
10
The government said it is taking what it calls a “firm, balanced approach” to reform, which includes stopping students from transferring to lower-level courses once they arrive in Australia through implementing a new student visa transfer stream. Although this won’t come into effect until mid-2027, interim measures have already been put in place. This is one way the government said it aims to “disrupt the business models of providers targeting students with lowcost or lower-quality courses after they arrive in Australia.” Students from Pacific and Southeast Asian countries, those studying for PhDs, or sponsored by governments, will be exempt from the new rules around visas for partners and children. The aim of this reform is clearly stated: “to remove the ability of most students to bring family members with them.” The changes come in the same week the Coalition touted its immigration reforms as the “biggest cut to immigration in the history of

this country”, with leader Angus Taylor announcing proposed restrictions to international student visas should they win office. Responding to the Coalition’s proposals, Universities Australia chief Luke Sheehy said the policy alignment of the major parties over international students was concerning. “We have been clear with all sides of politics: cutting international student numbers too hard comes with real consequences for Australia,” he said. “International education supports jobs and communities, helps build the skilled workforce we need and strengthens Australia’s relationships and standing around the world. “For nearly four decades, governments of both persuasions have supported the development of a world-class international education sector because it is good for Australia.”

students, or those who are studying at regional universities. It would also scrap secondary visas for most students, meaning they could no longer bring their family or partner with them to Australia. “Part of what we have seen under Labor is our universities selling not education but visa pathways, migration pathways,” Mr Taylor said. “That will end under this policy. We want our universities selling worldclass education.” The largest group of migrant arrivals in Australia between 2024 and 2025 were temporary student visa holders, which made up 157,000 of the 306,000 net overseas total. The cuts come amid projections of Australia’s tertiary education export value to be about $55bn a year. Getting ahead of criticisms of what stripping 650,000 temporary visas out of the economy could do to Commonwealth coffers, Mr Taylor insisted “this package is budget neutral”. Community Strong Australia MP Zali Steggall described the dramatic slashing of international student and The Coalition has joined Labor and One Nation in setting a migration worker numbers proposed by both target that restricts international student numbers.

COMPARING COUNTRIES As policy settings and visa rules change, prospective international students are getting more and more discerning about which countries will welcome them to study. BY MUKESH DHAMALA
DOES AUSTRALIA STILL WANT STUDENTS LIKE US?
In the decade I’ve spent working with Australian education providers from Kathmandu, I’ve met students excited about leaving home, parents trying to understand an unfamiliar education system, and graduates who return to tell us how much their lives have changed. For years, most of the questions were predictable. Which course? Which university? How much will it cost? What is Sydney like? Will my English be good enough? These days, the question is different: does Australia still want students like us? I often find myself explaining Australian politics before I am ever asked to explain a course.
12
Young people who have never set foot in Australia follow announcements from Canberra, share headlines about student visas and ask what the Labor government or the Coalition might do next. In this way, Australia’s migration debates have found their way into our conversations in Kathmandu.
A POLITICAL DEBATE HEARD AT THE FAMILY TABLE
During the 2025 Australian federal election, international students became part of a much larger argument about migration, housing and how many people Australia should welcome. Labor defended its tighter visa settings and management of international education. The Coalition
argued for further restrictions, including lower international student commencements. I understand why these questions matter to Australian voters. Housing costs are real. So, too, are concerns about infrastructure, poor recruitment practices and providers that have not acted in students’ interests. I’ve worked in this sector long enough to know that some of the criticism is justified. But the same political message can sound very different in Nepal. Consider a hypothetical student who has finished Year 12 and hopes to study business in Sydney. Perhaps his older brother studied there, so Australia feels familiar, even though he has never visited. He might be preparing for an

making commitments. Even when a reform has a reasonable purpose, it can take time for accurate information to replace rumours. In the conversations I’m having with prospective students and their families, I often have to prepare them for difficulties: do not assume you can change colleges easily; do not build your financial plan around part-time employment; and do not confuse a student visa with a promise of permanent residency. Sometimes I advise a student to wait, improve their preparation, or think again about the course they have chosen. That may mean losing an enrolment today, but it may also prevent a family from making a much more expensive mistake tomorrow. For those of us representing Australian education providers, this is not a side issue. Honest advice is part of protecting the reputation of the sector.
A YOUNGER GENERATION IS COMPARING COUNTRIES
The students I meet today know much more about studying overseas than just a few years ago. They compare tuition fees on their phones, watch graduates describe their lives overseas, and discuss the details of visa rules in online groups. Some of what they find is misleading, but they are no longer waiting for an education agent to tell them what to think. Germany is an attractive option because of tuition arrangements at public universities and its strengths in technical fields. The United States appeals to students interested in particular universities and research opportunities, while the United

WHAT I WISH CANBERRA COULD HEAR
Kingdom attracts some who want a shorter postgraduate course. Canada is familiar, although its own restrictions have made students more cautious. Every destination has its specific issues. Germany may require learning the language. American education can be expensive. The UK and Canada have their own policy uncertainties. I’m not suggesting that any one country has discovered a perfect approach. What interests me is the change in the questions now being asked by prospective students. Previously, they came to see me asking which Australian institution might suit them. Now, the conversation begins with which country suits their course, finances and future plans. Australia is still attractive, but it is being compared more carefully. I do see something positive in that. A student choosing a country because the education genuinely fits their goals is likely to ask better questions and make a more informed commitment. Australian institutions should welcome such students, not expect them to choose Australia out of habit.
THE STUDENTS NO UNIVERSITY EVER COUNTS
Working with Australian providers, I know how closely institutions follow applications, offers, visa outcomes and enrolments. These numbers are necessary. They help teams plan courses, staffing and student support. But there is another group that does not appear in those reports: students who were seriously considering Australia and never applied. Perhaps a student spends months comparing degrees in Sydney and

Melbourne, then decides to study in Germany. Perhaps a parent attends an information session and later decides the total cost is beyond the family’s comfort. Perhaps a prospective student becomes uncertain after another visa announcement and starts researching somewhere else. No application is withdrawn. No offer is deferred. No visa is refused. The student simply does not enter the system. From Kathmandu, I think these decisions deserve more attention. Universities may know exactly how many applications they received last month, but they don’t know about the students who almost applied and changed their minds. Was it because of the course, the cost, the way a rule was explained, or a growing feeling that Australia had become less welcoming? Sometimes the reason will be due to misinformation. Sometimes it will be a perfectly sensible decision about another destination. And sometimes it may be something Australian institutions need to hear, however uncomfortable it might make them. International offices have representatives and agents around the world. We should use those relationships for more than enrolment forecasts. Australian institutions need to ask what it is that families are worried about. They need to know which questions are becoming harder to answer, and what students are saying when they decide against Australia. Listening to people who never become applicants may be one of the most useful forms of market research a university can do.
I do not expect Australian governments to design migration policy around the wishes of prospective students in Nepal. Australians have every right to debate policies around housing, migration, public services and the standards expected of education providers. Nor do I believe international students should be promised jobs, residency or an easy future. Many of those promises have proven false in the past and have done enough damage already. But there is a difference between explaining that a visa system needs stronger rules and leaving young people with the impression that they themselves are unwanted. HIghly charged political arguments can make that distinction disappear, especially when a headline is all that reaches someone overseas. I still believe strongly in Australian education. I have seen what it can offer students academically and personally. I have seen graduates come home with new skills, and others become part of Australian workplaces and communities. Those experiences are why I have continued this work for so long. What has changed is the confidence with which the next generation approaches the decision. They are asking much harder questions, comparing more destinations and paying closer attention to what Australia says about them. I sometimes wish a policymaker could sit quietly for an afternoon in a student counselling office in Kathmandu. Not to give a speech or defend a policy. Just to listen as a teenager asks whether the rules will change again, or a father asks what happens if the visa is refused. Those conversations will never decide an Australian election. But they may decide whether a young person ever enters an Australian classroom. Australian voters choose their governments. Far beyond Australia, young people who cannot vote are listening to what those governments say – and making choices of their own.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
FROM SURGE TO SLOWDOWN The international student debate seems primarily focused on reducing numbers, leaving out the bigger question of what Australia wants the sector to achieve. BY PETER HURLEY AND MELINDA HILDEBRANDT
T
he Australian government has announced visa changes making it harder for international students to bring their families with them while they study. There are also new rules designed to stop students from cycling through courses just to prolong their stay in Australia. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has framed these changes as part of a broader, “orderly” and “fair” approach

to lowering net overseas migration. But they also continue a years-long push by the federal government to lower international student numbers. What has been announced? And what is happening with international student numbers more broadly?
WHAT DID TONY BURKE SAY?
Mr Burke told the National Press Club in September that most international

students will have to come alone to Australia. There will be some exceptions, including for people from Pacific and ASEAN countries and PhD students. Last year, more than 45,000 visas were granted to family members of an international student. Mr Burke also flagged the government would clamp down on “visa hopping”

by international students. Students will need to prove they are progressing to a course at a higher level to prolong their student visa. As Mr Burke explained: “One of the classic areas of visa hopping is people finish a course, hop to the next course, hop to the next.” These changes are part of the federal government’s wider bid to bring down net overseas migration from about 290,000 to 225,000 in 2027-28. The peak body, Universities Australia, described the latest move by the government as “worrying”. Chief executive Luke Sheehy explained students often bring family members to Australia if they are doing research degrees “because they can be here for up to three or four years while they do that”.
Students will need to prove that they are progressing
of “workarounds”. These include increases to student visa application fees and slower visa processing times. After the pandemic, international students returned to Australia more quickly than expected. In 2022, the Australian government suggested it might take four years to reach pre-pandemic levels of students. It took one year. This surge created an increase that continues to work its way through the system. After completing a course, many international students can apply for a graduate visa. This means they can extend their stay for a further 18 months or more. The number of students on graduate visas has more than doubled from 70,000 in June 2019 to 199,000 in June 2026 as students who finish their courses transition to these visas. Further increasing the total number of current and former students are “secondary” visa holders. These are normally immediate family members, such as partners and children who come with students to Australia. The total number of student and graduate secondary visa holders has increased from about 92,000 in June 2019 to about 142,000 in the most recent available data.
WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING?
Over the past three years, the government has been trying to lower the number of international students in Australia. Legislation to give the government greater powers to do this was blocked before the last election, so the government has had to use a series

OTHER MOVES TO REDUCE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
To reduce net overseas migration, the number of residents leaving the country must be higher than the number of residents entering the country. Many of the measures announced by Mr Burke give the government more ways to ensure student visa holders leave. In the meantime, there has been a reduction in the intake of new international students. Our analysis of immigration data (shown in the chart below left) shows the visa refusal rate for international students has increased significantly over the past six months. Student visa refusal rates are currently the highest they have ever been. The government has said this is because it is more strictly applying a financial capacity test. These are the funds an international student must demonstrate when applying for a visa – to prove they can support themselves while in Australia.
HOW DOES LABOR’S PLAN COMPARE TO OTHER PROPOSALS?
The complicated nature of migration means it can be difficult to make direct comparisons between different proposals. However, One Nation announced a much harsher plan. Its target of 350,000 international students would come close to halving the number in Australia, as part of its proposal to reduce the overall number of temporary migrants by 750,000. Such a cut would have a huge impact on the university sector and beyond. The Australia Bureau of Statistics says international education is worth $54.7 billion per year, of which $24.3 billion is from student fees. International students also take a huge range of courses at different types of institutions, such as vocational colleges, private providers or Englishlanguage schools. Universities can be the face of international students, but they only account for about half of the international student enrolments in Australia.
campusreview.com.au
Further increasing the total number of current and former students are ‘secondary’ visa holders AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COULD BE YOUR BAKER OR YOUR CARER Our analysis of tax data (shown in the chart above) shows international students play a significant role in certain occupations. These include jobs as hospitality workers and food trades workers (such as bakers and cooks). About 10 per cent of carer and aides jobs, such as child carers and aged care workers, were held by current and graduate international students.
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOING SIMILAR THINGS, BUT…
Australia is following a global trend to tighten settings for international students. Canada has also wound back its international student program. Rather than having an open-ended number of visas, there are planned ceilings. The United Kingdom also
announced a restriction on family members applying for student visas in 2024. What is missing from these announcements is a clearer picture of how international education fits within the wider migration program. The debate has focused on reducing numbers, but the bigger question is what Australia wants international education to achieve. That means deciding which skills to prioritise and how education, migration and workforce planning can work together.

AI & TECHNOLOGY
FALSE FLAGS Instead of searching for signs of cheating with AI, teachers should look at whether students have learned what an assessment was designed to measure. BY MARK A. BASSETT
S
ince artificial intelligence (AI) software ChatGPT was released in 2022, teachers have been looking for ways to tell when AI has been used to generate text in assessments. AIdetection software is still sold by some tech companies, such as Pangram, as a potential solution.
18
In September, the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) updated its rules to stop schools from relying on AI-detection software when deciding if a student has cheated. The reasoning is that these tools are not always reliable. While most Australian unis have already shifted away from
AI-detection software in some form, my research suggests the education sector should go one step further and not use AI-detection tools at all.
WHERE ARE UNIS AT?
Unis each have their own rules around how they use AI-detection software, or

whether they use it at all. Some unis, such as the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney and the University of NSW, use AI-detection tools in some form to assist in flagging potential cases of misconduct. Other unis, such as Curtin University and the University of Queensland, have opted to not use AI-detection tools at all.
NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE
The reason is because this software is not always accurate. When AI-detection tools incorrectly flag a student’s work as including AI-generated text, this is called a false positive. AI companies want to develop detectors that have low falsepositive rates. For instance, Turnitin, a United Statesbased company that sells AI-detection software, promotes a false-positive rate of less than one per cent. However, Turnitin says this software is only reliable in detecting AI use when documents contain more than 20 per cent AIgenerated content.
IMPACTS ON STUDENTS
A small false-positive rate can still lead to big problems. In 2023, academic integrity expert Phillip Dawson estimated that even a 0.7 per cent false-positive rate would result in over 100,000 assessments being wrongly flagged as AI generated each year in the Australian higher education sector alone. This happened on a smaller scale at the Australian Catholic University, which referred nearly 6,000 students for alleged academic misconduct in 2024, about 90 per cent of them over AI use. The ABC reported last year the uni later dismissed any cases where the evidence for misconduct was solely based on Turnitin’s AI-detection technology. Turnitin states its software should not be used in isolation to decide whether a student has used AI improperly: “Rather, we provide data for educators to make an informed decision based on their academic and institutional policies.” But this still has an impact on students’ wellbeing. Research shows false accusations of academic misconduct harm students and causes significant stress and anxiety.
campusreview.com.au
WHY AREN’T DETECTION TOOLS MORE ACCURATE?
Companies measure the accuracy of AI-detection software under controlled conditions. To calculate the false positive rate, companies test text they know was AI generated and text they know was entirely human written. Using these texts, they then measure how often the detector gets it right or wrong. However, we don’t really know all the details of how companies test their AIdetection software.
are all built on the same assumption that humans and AI write differently. Agreement between multiple AI detectors doesn’t mean they are right. It only means they made the same mistake. False negatives are also a problem. This is when a detector fails to identify text where AI has been used. These mistakes get far less attention than false positives and are a big problem for educators when determining whether a student has cheated.
TESTING DOESN’T TRANSLATE WELL
WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE?
My research with colleagues, published The question assumes there must in the Journal of Higher Education be a technical solution that allows Policy and Management, suggests us to continue using unsupervised these controlled tests do not translate written assessments as the sole basis well when AI detectors are used in real for judging student learning. But world contexts, such as in unis. not every unreliable technology First, detection tools attempt to needs a replacement. The same distinguish between AI-generated applies to AI watermarking, which text and human-written text. However, has its own limitations. this is not always so straightforward, Instead of searching for signs of as anything produced by AI could cheating, teachers should look at plausibly have been written by a human whether their students have learned depending on their writing style. what an assessment was designed Students may also submit work that to measure, and if the work they has been written with the assistance of submit provides valid evidence of AI, rather than sections of text simply that learning. generated by it.

So Australia’s higher education regulator if you know how many human-written that leaves room for students to use AI papers there are, you know how many where it suits the task, and to learn how to expect to be falsely flagged.

None of this depends on the real world, where students complete software guessing how a piece of text assessments outside the classroom, was written. we can never know in advance how many papers are human written – that’s Mark A.

Rather than workplace experience being something students encounter only towards the end of their studies, students have opportunities to tackle actual industry challenges and build experience applying what they learn before they graduate. It’s one example of what a more applied model of higher education can look like, and as our workforce continues to change approaches like this will become increasingly valuable.
PAYOFF BIGGER THAN EMPLOYABILITY
For students, stronger connections between education and industry can provide clearer pathways into meaningful careers and give them greater confidence to enter the workforce.
Sarah Lightfoot, CEO UNSW College
For employers, it can create a stronger pipeline of graduates with greater exposure to how organisations operate and how their studies translate into the real-world. And for Australia, closer alignment between education and industry can help build a more agile workforce, capable of responding as technology develops and new skills are required. The future workforce is unlikely to be defined by one qualification followed by one career. People will learn, work, retrain and adapt throughout their lives. For parents, teachers, career advisers and others helping young people make decisions about their future, that makes awareness of the breadth of pathways available more important than ever. If Australia wants a workforce ready for the industries of tomorrow, we need to start building those capabilities today, and that means bringing the world of work much closer to the higher education classroom.
