Australia's government is tightening rules for international students transferring between courses.

Australia's Labor government is cracking down on what it calls 'visa hopping' by international students. New rules will require students to apply for a separate visa when transferring courses, building on previous restrictions that already prevent transfers to lower-level qualifications. The government is also targeting migration agents and lawyers it accuses of helping people 'game' the migration system.
