59162 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Vocational Education: What extra funding or support, if any, will be allocated to tertiary organisations to support the goal of doubling the value of international education to $7.2 Billion by 2034?

Hon Penny Simmonds: Due to the fiscal context, I do not anticipate seeking new funding for the Plan at this stage. Agencies will work closely together to deliver the actions in the Plan, which are staggered over the short, medium and long term to enable sequencing and prioritisation.
