Australian private colleges slash prices on diploma tied to visa crackdown

Private colleges across Australia are offering last-minute discounts for a management diploma that has allegedly been 'misused by shonks'. The qualification has come under scrutiny amid a government crackdown on student visa rorts, following the deregistration of colleges suspected of exploiting the course for immigration purposes. The discounts have raised concerns that providers are rushing to fill places before tighter rules take effect.
Why now: The discounts coincide with an immigration crackdown and deregistration of colleges linked to the diploma.
