澳大利亚第115号部长指令11月14日生效，学生签证按院校名额分级处理
澳大利亚政府新的部长指令第115号（Ministerial Direction 115）于2025年11月14日生效，取代原第111号指令，旨在平衡国际学生在各院校之间的分布，并支持2026年国家规划水平。
根据新指令，2025年11月14日及之后递交的境外学生签证（500类）申请，将按院校的新海外学生开课名额使用情况分优先层级处理：学校、英语语言课程（ELICOS）、TAFE、博士课程及受资助学生，以及未达到名额80%的院校，列为第一优先级；已达到名额80%的院校为第二优先级；已超出名额15%的院校为第三优先级，处理顺序靠后。
澳大利亚政府为2026年设定的国家规划水平为295,000个新海外学生开课名额。
Australia's Ministerial Direction 115 Takes Effect November 14, Tiering Student Visa Processing by Provider Allocation
Australia's new Ministerial Direction 115 took effect on November 14, 2025, replacing Ministerial Direction 111. The direction is intended to support a more balanced distribution of international students across providers and to underpin the 2026 National Planning Level.
Under the new settings, offshore Subclass 500 student visa applications lodged on or after November 14, 2025 are processed in priority tiers based on each provider's use of its New Overseas Student Commencement allocation. Priority 1 covers schools, ELICOS, TAFE, PhD and sponsored students, and providers that have not reached 80% of their allocation. Priority 2 covers providers that have reached 80%, and Priority 3 covers providers that have exceeded their allocation, whose applications are processed later.
The Australian Government has set the 2026 National Planning Level at 295,000 new overseas student commencements.
