Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Australia to Ban International Students From Bringing Partners and Children
Caption: Australia to Ban International Students From Bringing Partners and Children. Australia plans to stop international students from bringing partners and children while studying, according to local media reports. The government will also tighten rules allowing temporary migrants to switch visas during their stay. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is expected to announce the changes during a speech Thursday. Net overseas migration is reportedly set to fall to 225,000 by 2028, from roughly 300,000 currently. Under existing rules, student partners can work, while students may bring dependent children under eighteen. The changes follow pressure from One Nation, which wants to sharply reduce temporary migration across Australia. Migration surged after borders reopened in 2022, driven by international students, backpackers, and temporary skilled workers. Official figures show net migration reached 306,000 in 2025, after peaking at 518,000 in 2023. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
