Indian student enrolments in Australia
Department of Education enrolment figures for Indian students, with the measures and sources used. Australian financial years run 1 July to 30 June. Compiled 2026-10-07.
Department of Education data could not be fetched directly (education.gov.au timed out / reset connection repeatedly). Figures below are DoE statistics as quoted by secondary sources; the two 2025 enrolment figures use different cut-offs and possibly different measures (course enrolments vs student headcount), so they are not directly comparable.
