Australia is restricting foreign students from bringing family members and tightening working holiday visa rules to reduce net migration.
Australia is implementing new immigration measures that prevent foreign students from bringing partners and children to the country while they study. The government also plans to tighten rules for working holiday visas. These changes are part of a broader effort to reduce net overseas migration.
The policy shift targets a significant component of Australia's international education sector and the temporary migration workforce. Officials aim to curb population growth and address concerns about visa overstaying and the strain on public services, signaling a more restrictive approach to immigration.
