As per Grewal (2020), Australian migration program has been changing since 2019 and
major change can be seen in terms of the recent two regional visas. Along with the substantial
change in the permanent residential status of international workforce as well students,
Australian migration is supposed to face significant changes in its immigration system. New
Skilled Work Regional visa and Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional visa with subclass
491 and 494 is now available that allow more people to move to regions for permanent
settling. However, as per new visa law, nothing is permanent and permanent residential status
as per Grewal (2020) is moving target for the government.
As per the acacia-au.com (2020a), recent COVID-19 pandemic is also supposed to change
the permanent immigration requirement in Australia. It has been speculated that the
Australian government will provide any financial support to the workers and the students
who are in the country on visa. However, later it has been mentioned that students with more
than one year can have financial support from government. Hence, it is supposed to be
considered that the Australian permanent status for the workers and students was supposed to
change, and the recent pandemic will change it faster with stringent implication
Australia have more than 800,000 international students who comes from different part of the
world for higher studies. Visa policy of the students was easy until now, however, in march
2019, it changed rapidly with the inclusion of new subclasses. Thus, as per the Tran and
Nghia (2020), change in the visa law will lead to catastrophic impact on the student
enrolment in the Australian universities. Moreover, if the lesser number of students gets
enrolled in the Australian universities, then it will reduce the economic contribution of the
education sector towards Australian economy as well.
Underpinning the finding of the AboElsoud et al. (2020), it can be seen that international
students constitute a significant portion of the university students of Australia. As the recent
change in the visa policy is directed towards regional integrity, it can be seen that the
education industry is supposed to face major blow. Moreover, recent pandemic is also
supposed to provide a crippling blow to the Australian education sector leading to fall in the
performance of the overall economic performance of the state from the education perspective.
When it comes to the impact of the visa change on the education sector, then finding of the
Wit (2020), can be considered who argued in favour of the strict visa policy. As the number
of international students are rising in the Australian universities, local and regional students
are facing it difficult to get enrolment. Moreover, local education performance is also
deteriorating as the major universities prefer to have international students rather than
