International students in Victoria will receive a relief payment of up to $1,100 as part of a Victorian Government emergency support package that will help tens of thousands of people across our state.
International education generated $12.6 billion revenue for Victoria last financial year, supporting around 79,000 jobs, with most students coming from China, India, Nepal, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Quote attributable to Minister for Jobs, Innovation and Trade Martin Pakula:
“International students give so much to Victoria – it’s only fair we support them in their hour of need.”
