🚨 The Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) has just been suspended for new international student enrolments.

The diploma has been shut down to new international student enrolments after the government found it was being used by some students to switch study paths and extend their stay in Australia, rather than for genuine study.

📊 Transfers into the course jumped from 510 in 2020 to 4,000 in 2025, with 77% of those switching already studying in Australia.

✅ Students currently enrolled can finish their studies
🚫 No new international students can be recruited into the course

This is the first time the government has used its new course-cancellation powers, and it's part of a wider push to bring net overseas migration down from around 300,000 a year toward a target of 225,000 by 2028.

If you're planning your study or visa pathway, it's worth understanding how changes like this could affect you.

You don't have to resit your entire IELTS test. 🙌

Spring in Brisbane means one thing: the whole city turns purple 💜

From the picnic-perfect rows at New Farm Park to the sandstone-framed Jacaranda Lane at UQ St Lucia, Brisbane has plenty of spots to catch the bloom before it's gone.

🌳 New Farm Park – around 146 jacaranda trees, perfect for a picnic
📸 Wilson Outlook Reserve – jacarandas with a skyline view, especially nice at sunset
🏛️ City Botanic Gardens – home to Queensland's very first jacaranda, planted in 1864
🌉 Kangaroo Point – purple blooms along the river with Story Bridge views
🎓 UQ St Lucia – the university's own Jacaranda Lane

🚨 Northern Territory (NT) Skilled Migration 2026-27 is here!

Nominations for subclass 190 & 491 open from 21 August, and NT has secured the highest number of Subclass 491 places of any state or territory in Australia.

📊 Allocation breakdown:
✅ Subclass 190: 850 places (same as last year)
✅ Subclass 491: 1,000 places (+200 from last year, +25%)
✅ Total: 1,850 places (up from 1,650)

💡 What's opening on 21 August:
All onshore streams reopen for new applications
Select offshore streams also open - NT Priority Occupation stream closed due to a large backlog of pending applications. NT Job Offer & Family streams are still open.

📌 Good to know:
NT still requires a strong commitment to live and work in the Territory for at least 3 years post-grant.
Processing times aren't guaranteed before visa expiry, so keep your skills assessment and English test results valid throughout.

Thinking about NT as your skilled migration pathway? Now's the time to get your application ready. Contact SOL today!

Working Holiday Visa applicants, here's what you need to know 👀

The Australian Government has confirmed it's slowing down processing for submitted Working Holiday Visas (Subclass 417 & 462) applications, as changes to the migration system are worked through.

🔹 Subclass 417 — still open, but processing will take longer
🔹 Subclass 462 — paused for 24 of the 29 eligible countries, with no reopening date announced yet.
Swipe through for the status of your country, and why these pauses happen in the first place ➡️

The Subclass 462 pause wasn't officially announced, the website was changed quietly, so it's easy to miss. Follow us to stay updated!
