📢 Big news for international students in Australia!
The Australian Government has announced the 2026 National Planning Level (NPL) for new student commencements – set at 295,000, an increase of 25,000 places compared to 2025. 🎓🌏
✅ What is the NPL?
It’s not a cap on student numbers – but a prioritisation system for Student visa applications lodged outside Australia. Genuine students who meet visa requirements can still apply.
✅ What’s new in 2026?
More opportunities: +25,000 new commencements.
Priority visa processing continues for Pacific & Timor-Leste students, scholarship holders, and other key cohorts.
Students from Australian schools, pathway providers, and TAFE moving to public universities won’t count towards the NPL.
💡 The NPL ensures growth in international education while maintaining quality learning experiences and positive outcomes for all students.
