The Australian Newspaper has reported the following on 6 July 2020:
International students enrolled at Australian universities but forced to remain overseas and study online because of the COVID-19 pandemic will still be granted graduate work rights under concessions to the embattled higher education sector being considered by the Morrison government.
Overseas students are currently entitled to post-study visas only if they undertake their course in the country.
Under the plan, according to sources familiar with the proposal, students would remain eligible despite returning to their home countries and studying online.
