Director of Global Student Recruitment, leading RMIT’s international and domestic recruitment teams, admissions, global learning and the University’s sales and conversion functions.
Australia’s ELICOS and international school sectors are facing significant challenges in the current international education environment. A combination of factors — including visa settings and processing, broader international education policies, student accommodation, guardian
arrangements and changing market conditions — is creating increasing pressure on student demand and enrolments.
This panel will bring together government and sector leaders to openly discuss the key challenges facing ELICOS providers and schools, identify the barriers affecting international students and their families, and explore possible practical solutions. Importantly, the session will be a call to action — considering what government, education providers and the broader international education sector can do together to rebuild confidence, address current barriers and support the sustainable recovery and future growth of these important sectors.
