The Australian government has commissioned a new review of the Australian student visa program, which will report to the government in mid 2011. The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is undertaking a review of the Australian student visa program, with former minister Michael Knight appointed to carry out the review for presentation to the government in mid-2011. It has been nearly 10 years since the student visa program was last reviewed, during which time the number of international students has more than doubled.
