International students 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

International students are a vital part of our education system, our economy and our community. They give so much to Victoria \u2013 not just through the fees they pay, but also through the economic activity they generate for our businesses, and the contribution they make to our vibrant, inclusive society.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like so many people during this pandemic, international students have been affected by casual job losses in retail and hospitality, making it even tougher for them to make ends meet.\u00a0Many have also fallen through the cracks of Federal Government programs \u2013 unable to access the support they need to support themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure Victoria\u2019s international students can buy the basics and get through to the other side of the crisis, the Victorian Government will establish a $45 million\u00a0International Student Emergency Relief Fund<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fund will provide a one-off payment to students in need while expanding emergency provisions for those experiencing exceptional circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Up to 40,000 international students enrolled at Victorian universities, TAFEs, private vocational education and training providers and English language colleges who have lost wages and work due to the coronavirus pandemic could benefit from the relief payment, which covers demonstrated lost income up to $1,100.<\/span><\/p>\n

The payments, which will incorporate contributions from university hardship funds, build on existing Victorian Government support\u00a0provided to international students\u00a0through the\u00a0Study Melbourne Student Centre<\/em>\u00a0such as free legal aid and mental health services.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 150,000 international students currently living in Victoria are also eligible for the Victorian Government\u2019s rent relief program, including subsidies of up to $2,000, and those legally allowed to work in Victoria are eligible for the Working for Victoria initiative, which helps people who have lost their jobs to find new employment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Government continues to examine other ways of assisting students and their education providers.<\/span><\/p>\n
