Australian Government plans to make Student Visas more accessible to International students Friday, November 08, 2013 The Government has recently announced plans to restore Australias international education sector to its former status as one of the countrys most important economic contributors. As well benefitting the Australian economy the announcement will come as great news for international students seeking to make the most of Australias world class facilities as it promises to simplify the application process for Student Visas. Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Scott Morrison and Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne say they plan to reduce the complexity of the system through developing a streamlined assessment-level framework (ALF) and by extending streamlined visa processing arrangements to low-risk non-university degree providers. The revised ALF promises to benefit international students because it will lower assessment levels, meaning more students will be able to obtain student visas. The Government also plans to relax requirements for financial evidence. This would mean, Pyne and Morrison say, students from a number of key markets would be able to apply for a student visa with up to A$40 000 less in the bank. Mr Pyne said the measures would attract more overseas students to Australia, benefit our education system, create Australian jobs and stimulate our economy. The non-university sector is an important contributor to our overall education exports, Mr Pyne said. If we cut red tape and allow more students into Australia to access a world-class tertiary education we all stand to gain.
