If overseas-trained nurses could work in Australia, then you'd have solved your shortage issue ages back! Nope, overseas-trained nurses and doctors however, qualified or trained in some of the best medical colleges aren't permitted to ply their profession here (unless they are from Canada or the US or the UK I think); it's because your system doesn't allow it; and of course for obvious reasons which is pretty much respected (else you'd never know what you'd get for such a sensitive sector); that's why you have qualified nurses from South Asia, spending their life's savings to undertake their nursing courses all over again here in Australia in a bid for permanent residency and to of course become part of the workforce. It's a huge sacrifice. In any case, letting in such a number (upwards of 600K) in just a year is preposterous! I am a doctoral student here; way past your so-called "productive or economic threshold" age, and I hold no interest in continuing here after my studies; I just want to give my kids a nice experience here - enjoying Australia, getting to experience Western schooling for at least 3-4 years, get me that PhD - a lifelong aspiration; and then it's back home; but with all these fallouts (the rising cost of living and the rentals), it's making our experience here a tad unsavory. But it will be interesting to see how things pan out as not everyone seems to be aware that international students (at least the ones who attend proper unis here) pay in a year what an average Australian would ever spend in their entire educational life; they and largely their spouses form an integral part of the workforce here, with huge tax contribution, a substantial part of which amongst others go into funding Aussie retirees! International students who do their postgraduate degrees in universities here including myself often wonder where are the actual Aussie students?

@@johnmatthews8810 I agree 100% both the LNP and ALP have caused this insane Homeless/housing/rental Crisis.

Do your post study work in your own country.

[@PraneetCastelino]

The whole purpose of the student visa and post study visa system was to acquire new skills and knowledge to take to your own country. It was never meant to be a pathway to residency or work. Australia does not need civil engineers who just graduated from uni. We need senior engineers with years of infrastructure experience. But then again Australian employers must pay the market rate for such highly skilled migrants.

[@kiranmarlesuresh]

@@PraneetCastelino purpose of post study work visa is to gain skills and experience and it is a pathway for future (whoever is planning). Eg for PR some occupations you must have Australian experience some companies don’t even consider other country’s qualifications and experiences. It is important what we learn in Australia and what we work in Australia to get a job in Australia.

You don't want a life in Australia. Trust me! You are open to exploitation on every front. The banking system, the legal system and the housing is atrocious. Mark my words. Bankruptcy is the ultimate outcome for all you students should you consider a life here. Good luck!

I am very interested to migrate in your lovely country

[@InfiaGaming]

If the changes are good for your immigration policy. Then plz changes are also required for proceess of univerisities Universities takes lots of time to revert student query . They demand the documents from student like, students made a mistake to apply under australian university. GTE your so called student apllication process takes lots of time. And the student feel like they apply for loan application in banks. My suggestion is to introduce GIC policy like cananda.

[@TheTinku90]

The problem is in the rootstocks!!!! Now AAT cases will start increasing and getting clogged in the system where all these temporary migrants will get another 2 years of time to live by the time Tribunal Judge gives them a date to hear their appeal 😂😂😂😂!!!! Problem is not happened with labour or liberal government , it happened with bureaucracy.

Do you want to study or immigrate, study in australia but dont immigrate

[@TheTinku90]

Don't study here in Australia 🇦🇺. Please go to some other country. Let only our Aussie kids study here. We don't want anyone in this country. We will study in big university by paying all the fees and we will only pay all the taxes. We don't want you here. Please go to other countries.

I have no interest in being taxed to pay for infrastructure for any more foreigners. They come to use hundreds of millions of dollars worth of infrastructure and public services that they haven't paid for and will never pay for.

[@revmachine2662]

Obviously because of the mind-blowing educational cost. I came in 2022 and my Master of Social Work costs 65k for 2 years. Whereas my direct juniors have to pay 75k. Its preposterous, especially since the Indian rupee is significantly of lesser value compared to AUD. I work 7 days a week and still is struggling to pay rent, bills, fees and survive. So before jumping into a conclusion like that, it is the high fees imposed on us by the Aussie unis that force us to indulge in labour, which unfortunately makes it harder for Aussies. The situation sucks for both us and Aussies. But it is what it is. Good day.

[@tacorevenge87]

Agree. Indians with fake papers are replacing highly skilled workers . A lot of local engineers loosing their jobs.

[@raa3298]

And why no one addressed the education point, why do we need to import talent?? Simple because Aussies focus on being a plumber, electrician, builder or any other trades leaving to immigrants to run the country
