Future Demand
Australian visa applications show high correlation with international onshore intake and have been used in 2014-15 projections.
Visas granted into the Higher Education sector increased by approximately 12% in 2012-13 the highest they have been since the 2008-09 reporting period.
This increase is driven by a large increase in visas granted offshore in countries such as India, China, Nepal, and Vietnam.
