The Australian government has announced five key changes to accommodate international students including Indian students:

• The government will recommence granting student visas in all locations lodged outside Australia. This means when borders re-open, students will already have visas and be able to make arrangements to travel.
• International students will be able to lodge a further student visa application free of charge if they are unable to complete their studies within their original visa validity due to Covid-19.
• Current student visa holders studying online outside Australia due to Covid-19 will be able to use that study to count towards the Australian study requirement for a post-study work visa.
• Graduates who held a student visa will be eligible to apply for a post-study work visa outside Australia if they are unable to return due to Covid-19.
• Additional time will be given for applicants to provide English language results where Covid-19 has disrupted access to these services.
