State and territory governments in consultation with the Australian Government and education institutions, are leading the return of international students to Australia.
International Student Arrival Plans are currently being developed by some state and territory governments and must be endorsed by the Australian Government before implementation.
Only limited numbers of students, nominated by their education institution will be able to come to Australia under an approved International Student Arrival Plan.
To be considered as part of an International Student Arrival Plan, students should contact their education provider.
All students participating in an International Student Arrival Plan must hold a valid Student (subclass 500) visa.
Students do not need to apply for a travel exemption to enter Australia as part of an International Student Arrival Plan. The relevant state or territory government will apply for travel exemptions on behalf of students nominated under their approved plan.
Education providers should contact their relevant state or territory government to participate in an International Student Arrival Plan.
