This comes as the federal government’s new migration review found “hard choices are required” to halt the increase in “permanently temporary” migrants in Australia.

Key Points: 
  • This comes as the federal government’s new migration review found “hard choices are required” to halt the increase in “permanently temporary” migrants in Australia.
  • This will need the government to take a better look at the role universities and vocational colleges play in migration to ensure we have both a sustainable migration system and a thriving education sector.

    Migration review warns against Australia becoming nation of 'permanently temporary' residents

The age of the temporary migrant

    • The recent migration review found the rise in “permanently temporary” visa holders “has caused harm” to Australia and migrants, noting both uncertainty and the “risk of migrant worker exploitation”.
    • Since 2011, the number of current and former international students who are temporary migrants has increased from about 275,000 to more than 765,000.

      How to improve the migration system for the good of temporary migrants – and Australia

      The pandemic saw the number of international students in Australia fall.

Why education providers are key

    • Education institutions play a vital role in driving the supply of temporary migrants.
    • For example, a working holiday visa enables young people from some countries to live and work in Australia for one year.
    • So it is difficult to disentangle education decisions from migration decisions.

The benefits of international students are not shared

    • In the university sector, it is the larger, more prestigious universities who receive the most revenue from international students.
    • Mitchell Institute analysis shows in 2021, of the ten vocational institutions with the highest international enrolments, nine were private colleges who catered largely to international students.
    • This means Australian students in our already underfunded vocational sector are missing out on the benefits international education brings.

Time for another look

    • At its peak in 2019, institutions received about $16 billion annually, which had grown from about $2 billion in 2002.
    • The migration review has highlighted how the increase in temporary migrants is a by-product of this growth.
    • If we want to gain more control over the total pool of migrants, we need to examine the role of universities and vocational colleges.
