Medical, post grad international students the first to return to NSW

International students studying medicine and health-related degrees and those close to finishing their studies will be given priority to return to NSW universities under a long-awaited rescue plan.

The staged return of international students to NSW comes amid debate over when borders could reopen, with as many as 30,000 Australians still stranded overseas. The pilot is expected to start within six weeks and will be scaled up by the end of the year to 500 students returning each fortnight. It has been sent to the federal government for final review.

Professor Glover said the first phase of the plan was “so vitally important to send the message” to international students that NSW was open for business.He said the international student allocation would be in addition to the current number of returning Australians allowed into NSW each week. “If we don’t act fast, students will turn to other overseas destinations and it could take the sector decades to recover,” Mr Perrottet said.

Arnt they already have easiest criteria to get exemptions and there were very few left overseas ?

If I was a stranded Australian overseas, I'd be furious at urgent prioritising of foreign students over stranded Australians. Get your priorities right people. If you have the infrastructure for students, you have the infrastructure for stranded Australians. Just not the urgency

Yea medical people are the only ones who are paying hefty fees Seems like Students with all other majors are studying on 100% scholarship Thats why they will be the last to get the flight racism JulianHillMP GregHuntMP GladysB LetUsBackToAus latikambourke JennaPrice
