Media Release 2 February 2020

University sector comment on announcement of changes to travel from China to Australia

Following today’s announcement, Universities Australia Chief Executive Catriona Jackson said the nation's universities would seek to extend the offers of flexibility they had made to international students in recent days, including online study and deferred start date options.

“Our universities will continue to adhere meticulously to the advice of health and immigration authorities, while managing the impact for our students,” she said.

“Our focus is on safeguarding the health and safety of everyone in university communities, and minimising any disruption to study, exams and assessment.”

Ms Jackson said university leaders had been in regular contact with Government and would hold further talks with Education Minister Dan Tehan over coming days on managing the impact of the decision.
