From 2013 to 2019, the export income generated from international students studying in Australia rose steadily each year, peaking at 37.6 billion Australian dollars in 2019. Due to COVID-19 lockdowns and entry restrictions, international student revenue plummeted in 2021 and 2022, reaching just 20.8 billion dollars in 2022. In 2023, the export income from international students studying in Australia recovered to around 36 billion Australian dollars.
Australia's education export income from Indian students increased to 6.6 billion from financial year 2019 to 2020. India is Australia's second largest consumer of international education behind China.
In 2023, international students living and studying in Australia originating from China contributed around 8.7 billion Australian dollars to the Australian economy. In comparison, international students from Colombia contributed about 1.1 billion Australian dollars to the Australian economy during the same time period.

The education income raised from Chinese students studying in Australia has increased steadily over the past six years and was valued at around 12 billion Australian dollars in financial year 2019. China remains the largest contributor to Australia's international education export industry despite the restrictions on global travel due to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in 2020.
Chinese education export crucial to the Australian economy
Education is one of Australia’s most valuable exports and in 2019 the income generated from international students alone was worth 37.6 billion Australian dollars. Many of Australia’s leading universities rely heavily on income from international students, with the percentage of international students at some universities being over 40 percent. Chinese students represented the largest proportion of overseas students, generating almost a third of Australia’s total international education income. By comparison, Indian students, the next most valuable international student group to the Australian economy brought in less than half the education export income of their Chinese counterparts in 2019.
Uncertainty in 2020
The education sector was one of the first Australian industries to feel the effects of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China in late 2019. From early February, 2020, shortly before the Australian school and university year was to begin, the Australian government placed a travel ban on travelers from China. This travel ban meant that many Chinese students were unable to be in the country to start their studies at schools, universities, and vocational colleges in Australia. Furthermore, internet censorship policies in China made it difficult for universities to stream lectures and offer online courses for students in China.

In 2023, there were over 436 thousand international students enrolled in higher education across Australia. The number of international students enrolled in higher education in Australia has increased from 2009, when there were just over 226,000 students from overseas. Studying in Australia has become extremely popular due to its high standard of education and multicultural environment. Education export income For Australian citizens, tertiary education is made more accessible through government supported subsidies and a payment deferral scheme. However, non-citizens and international students must pay the full cost of their degree, which can be well over 20,000 Australian dollars per year. Despite the relatively high cost of education in Australia, it is a popular choice for international students and education exports contribute significantly to the Australian economy. In 2023 alone, the total value of education exports in Australia was 36.4 billion Australian dollars, bringing the income back to pre-COVID-19 values. International student fees are also the second most valuable source of income for universities, after funding from the Australian government. International student population With the substantial income that international students bring to tertiary institutions, it is perhaps unsurprising that the proportion of international students at many Australian universities can be as high as 40 percent of the total student population. In 2023, the total number of international students enrolled in higher education numbered almost 437 thousand, with Chinese students making up almost quarter of the International student population. The majority of international students come from Asia and the Indian subcontinent, however students from Brazil and Columbia were among the top ten international student groups in 2023.

Higher education is an important export economy for Australia, with international students paying significantly higher fees for their tertiary studies than domestic students in the country. According to Times Higher Education, the Federation University Australia ranked the highest in terms of share of international students in 2023. During that period, around 52 percent of the students enrolled at Federation University Australia were international students.
International tertiary education sector
An internationally recognized qualification from an Australian university is appealing to many foreign students. Chinese students made up the largest proportion of international students in Australia. In 2017, of the 624 thousand foreign students studying at higher education institutions, around 184.5 thousand originated from China. Management and commerce courses were the most popular courses for international students to study, followed by engineering, society and culture, and information technology.
Economic contribution
International education activity is a significant export income source for Australia. In 2017, around 30 billion Australian dollars were generated from intentional student expenditure – a value that has been increasing consistently over the past years. Chinese students studying onshore on student visas contributed over 10 billion Australian dollars in that year alone. Australia’s major competitors in this sector include its neighbor New Zealand, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Factors affecting student enrolments include increasing tuition fees, visa application costs as well as the comparatively high cost of living in Australian cities.
There were more than 141 thousand Chinese student enrolments in Australia as of June 2022, with approximately 116.7 thousand enrolled in the higher education sector alone. This high figure is largely in part to many institutions readily accepting international students, as well as the use of English as the main language in most educational courses. The limited amount of university spots in China due to its large population also forces Chinese students to look overseas for education opportunities.
Demographic of international students in Australia
Australia has the largest proportion of international students in higher education, with almost a third of all higher education students in the country being international students. Furthermore, Chinese students make up the biggest share of these international students, with almost twice as many students as second-placed India.
Education as a source of income
While the cost of education is regulated for local students, universities in Australia can set their own prices for internationals. This creates a market where institutions are permitted to set prices to match the high demand for education. The export income from international education activity in Australia reached tens of billions of dollars over the past decade. Despite the high cost of entry, there is still plenty of demand with some universities such as the University of New South Wales having more than 40 percent of students coming from overseas.
Over the past 20 years, the share of the Australian population that holds a degree at a bachelor level or above has increased by more than six times, reaching 50.8 percent in 2022. Since May of 2023, however, that number has dropped to only 32 percent. In Australia, the tertiary education sector comprises both public and private institutions. The student body is comprised of both domestic and international students. University graduate employment Domestic students make up most of the graduates within Australia. The vast majority of graduates in 2022 found full-time employment after studying, with the fields of medicine, pharmacy and rehabilitation having the highest rates of employment post graduation. Dentistry graduates earned the highest median full-time salary of recent university graduates in the country. International study landscape International students are a rapidly growing segment of Australia’s tertiary education sector. The export income from international student activities amounted to just under 36.5 billion Australian dollars in 2023. Chinese students accounted for the largest share of international student enrollments in the same period. Students completing their studies at Australian universities are attracted to the prestige of obtaining a degree at some of the best universities in the world. Moreover, graduates have the opportunity to enter the Australian labor market and to apply for a permanent visa in the country.
