SSVF Introduced—SSVF(Simplified Single Immigration Risk Framework) will be a framework for all foreign students wanting to come to Australia for studying here. Giving details about the issue, Cash said that the SSVF will be supporting growth of international education sector by increasing the integrity and competitiveness.

It will be quite imperative that there is no penalty for universities for working in new markets where immigration risks are not well known.
