Phased return of international students<\/b><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\"Phased<\/span><\/h4>\n

The budget paper states “Small phased programs for international students will commence in late 2021 and gradually increase from 2022,”. This is a key assumption in the budget paper\u2019s economic forecast as international students contribute largely to the country\u2019s economy. This program focuses on the following major aspects-<\/span><\/p>\n

    The international students in the hospitality and tourism sectors will no longer face a cap on working hours. The Australian government is well aware of the adversities faced by the hospitality and tourism industry and has provided the flexibility to the student visa holders of this sector to work beyond the current 40 hours per fortnight limit temporarily. This is an additional provision on the previous change in response to COVID-19 which allowed the students working in critical sectors such as agriculture, aged and health care to work more than 40 hours per fortnight.<\/span><\/p>\n
