CEO Report March 2024
March has seen the continuation of challenges and poor outcomes in terms of Australia’s student visa regime. Extensive and widespread delays have continued to cause uncertainty and have seen many students miss their first-semester course intakes. At the same time, student visa applications have continued to see inconsistent decision-making with very high refusal rates in certain key markets and generic explanations for these refusals.

CEO Report February 2024
My first month as CEO of English Australia has been a busy one! I jumped straight in on day one with the Department of Education’s Integrity Stakeholder Forum’. This was a consultation with key stakeholders on a number of proposed changes to the statutory framework of international education. That set the scene and I’ve been working daily on advocating for optimising these reforms for English Australia member colleges and their students since. As I’m sure you’re all very aware, visa processing and grant rates have been front and centre once again.I’ve also been reaching out to member colleges to arrange meetings and campus visits as part of the ‘Meet the English Australia CEO’ initiative. Please see below for more details.Meanwhile, English Australia has also been busy gathering data for the Annual ELICOS survey, registering colleges to participate in the ELT Barometer, coordinating nationwide PD Fests, holding a board meeting, electing a new English Australia Board member, and much, much more!
