The changes the Australian government have made, impact student decision-making. According to the QS Country Perceptions Survey 2024, 34% of prospective students were aware the Australian government had implemented new visa rules for international students. A sizeable 17% of prospective students were less likely to consider Australia because of this. 🤔How can Australian universities mitigate recruitment risks and build a sustainable funnel of international students?
