"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"

After a year of chaos and uncertainty, we end the year much in the way we started, unsure of what direction the government will take and how it will impact our sector into the future. Yet despite it all our industry endures, driven at its core, by the fundamental desire to provide our students with the best opportunities we can, to reach their potential.

As we go into Christmas and 2025 I find myself even more resolute to ensure that regardless of what changes are implemented, caps or not, Murdoch International remains committed to Murdoch’s shared values and providing our international students with the exceptional experience they deserve.

I wish all of you the Merriest of Christmas’ if you celebrate it and I look forward to working with you all in 2025 for another exciting year of Building a Brighter Future, Together.


Kind Regards,

Euan McMillan

Comfort (second from the left) with certificate

Comfort Onyaga, an international Master of Food Security student at Murdoch University, achieved second place in the Global Student Case Competition in Spain. Hosted by the Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA) and the International School of Agri Management (ISAM), the competition focused on “Food Security through Innovation and Sustainability.”

Comfort’s participation was inspired by her studies in the “Challenges in Food Security” unit, where Associate Professor Kirsty Bayliss introduced her to opportunities like the World Food Forum. This experience has been pivotal in her career, providing a platform to showcase her problem-solving skills and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds.

Comfort, who is from Nigeria, expressed her excitement about representing Murdoch University and highlighted the competition as a significant learning opportunity that has helped her explore more opportunities to achieve her career goals.

This is a reminder that Murdoch University is offering international students a 25% reduction in postgraduate fees if they have finished their undergraduate or master's level degree from Murdoch University in the past 12 months and are transitioning into an eligible postgraduate course (excludes Honours) in the next available teaching period.

The tuition fee discount is available for all intakes in 2025.

Following the introduction of Genuine Student (GS) requirements on 23 March 2024, student visa applicants must now answer a set of GS-specific questions (in 150 words or less) and declarations. On 14 November 2024, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) conducted a workshop for CRICOS-registered education providers to clarify these requirements. Key takeaways include:
Suggestions for Effective Responses:

• Responses should be specific to the applicant's circumstances and not generic responses
• The GS assessment focuses on whether the student's primary purpose for coming to Australia is to study, rather than their intent to remain temporarily.
• It is important that students’ responses are substantiated by supporting evidence, which can be uploaded as separate documents

• Generic responses
• No supporting evidence with a claim
• Implausible claims regarding the value of course to applicant’s future
• There are inconsistencies in the responses and the documentary evidence provided.

Please ensure that student applications follow these guidelines to better align with DHA's requirements.

Noongar Season - Birak (December - January)

The Noongar Season ‘Birak’ is represented by the colour red, which symbolises heat, sun, and fire. Birak season sees the rains ease up, and the warm weather starts to take hold. The afternoons are cooled by the sea breezes that abound from the southwest. This was the fire season, a time to burn the country in mosaic patterns. With the rising temperatures and the decreasing rainfall, it's also time for the baby frogs to complete their transformation into adulthood.
