Australia Maintains 295,000 International Student Target for 2027
Australia has maintained its National Planning Level (NPL) for new international students at 295,000 for 2027, unchanged from 2026.
However, international student commencements in 2026 are tracking below previous levels, reflecting the impact of higher costs, tighter policy settings and changing student demand.
Australia’s international education sector continues to adjust as the government maintains tighter controls on international student numbers.
