​Department of Education, Skills and Employment international student enrolment data are derived from the Provider Registration and International Students Management System (PRISMS) database and counts enrolments by students studying in Australia on a student visa. The data includes commencements and year-to-date counts. It is broken down by nationality, sector and state/territory.

 

In an effort to reduce the size of downloads, a subset of the data from 2017 onwards has been created. The full time series from 2002 onwards is available in the indicated links (as larger downloads).
