There are more than 28,000 international students enrolled in NSW universities but, as of Saturday, education providers are required to deliver a minimum of two-thirds of course content in person, putting an end to COVID-era remote learning.
Redfern Legal Centre senior solicitor Sean Stimson said Sydney’s housing shortage had led to a sharp increase in rent prices at some private providers.
“International students have fewer choices, with the lack of support mechanisms and contractual obligations surrounding their student fees leaving international students with few options, other than to pay these high prices,” he said.
