In late August, our Study Melbourne Ambassadors met with International Education Advisory Council representatives over a light lunch to share their experiences and goals as international students in Victoria. This is part of Victoria's commitment to engaging directly with international students on the issues that matter to them.

Victoria's International Education Advisory Council is a group of senior leaders who provide strategic advice to the Minister for Economic Growth on Victoria’s international education sector and international education policy.

As part of the commitment to student engagement in Victoria's International Education Recovery Plan 2025, Council members were interested to meet with Ambassadors and hear their perspectives as representatives of the international student community.
