The latest figures come as international students wanting to study in NSW will no longer need to undertake quarantine if they are fully vaccinated.Students will return via flights to NSW from December through a pilot plan’s phased approach, with the first chartered plane of returning international students to touch down on December 6.It comes 18 months after the country’s borders closed to international students, and makes NSW the first Australian state to accept such arrivals since before the pandemic.The first flight into the state will carry around 250 students from over 15 nations, including Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, China and Canada, with a second flight to bring in students from South Asia and India also scheduled.The students must be vaccinated with a TGA recognised vaccine in order to apply. Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said students would also require Commonwealth Government approval to travel to Australia. “I welcome continued collaboration with the Commonwealth Government in supporting international students as they return to NSW,” Mr Ayres said.“This sends a clear message about how much NSW values our international students.”
