Context & Background
The policy to reduce international student numbers is part of a broader strategy aimed at managing migration and addressing housing affordability in Australia. The Labor government had previously announced plans to cap international student enrolments at 270,000 from 2025. However, critics argue that international students, who contribute significantly to the Australian economy, are being incorrectly targeted for housing issues. Research indicates that international students are only a small fraction of the rental market and that their presence does not significantly exacerbate the housing crisis.
