Meanwhile, according to the Australian Embassy in Vietnam, on August 4, the Australian Government announced a national plan of 295,000 international student quotas in 2026, an increase of 9% compared to 270,000 quotas in 2025. Notably, Australian public universities will be able to register to increase their international student quota for 2026 by demonstrating closer ties with the Southeast Asian region through training programs, partnerships, training facilities, alumni networks and scholarships.
Universities also need to provide more student accommodation to ensure both domestic and international students have safe and suitable places to live. The Australian Government encourages universities to increase their engagement with Southeast Asia, in line with Invested: Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.
Australia is now the third most popular destination for Vietnamese students, with more than 33,000 Vietnamese students studying in Australia. Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Gillian Bird said: “Education has long been a cornerstone of the relationship between Australia and Vietnam. New efforts to increase student numbers will help strengthen people-to-people links and boost investment in Vietnam."
