Immigration changes affecting students - update
Tuesday, 28 June 2011
On 1 June 2011, the Minister of Immigration announced a package of policy changes for international students.
Following that announcement, sector feedback was received regarding the new requirement for students to study a two-year course before they can qualify for Study to Work visas (the Graduate Job Search and Graduate Work Experience visas).
In order to ensure that this requirement is well targeted, a further round of targeted sector consultation was undertaken. The submissions received have now been considered and final decisions made. These decisions are to:
- 延期到2012年4月2日,1年课程才不能拿到open工签。delay the implementation of this requirement until 2 April 2012 (students who commence their course before this date will not be affected)
- enable qualifying one academic year courses to include:
- all postgraduate qualifications, or
- credit-transferred bachelors’ degrees, or
- (对GDIT和一年幼教等有重大利好!)all one year level 7 courses.
- (1年+1年算两年!)and also enable ‘one year + one year’ course combinations to meet the two-year study requirement, so long as:
- both courses qualify for Skilled Migrant Category points, and
- the second course is at a higher level than the first course (for example, a level 5 diploma followed by a level 6 diploma), and
- both courses are of at least one academic year’s duration (eight months full time study).
The updated Student changes fact sheet PDF [434KB] contains the detail of these changes and also provides more detail on the overall policy package.
