Based on the responses, determine the degree of Covid-19 impact on international

students' families and, if any, explore comprehensive views and answer the following

questions what, how and why pandemic influence on them?

1. What is the general perception of the families of international students regarding their long term stay

and settlement options after completing their education? Has COVID impacted this perception? Do

you think there is any difference in this perspective during the pre- and- post-COVID period? If yes,

then what?

2. In the current scenario, do you think that the families of international students want their children to

stay back in their home country rather than getting settled in Australia after degree achievement?

3. What can be the underlying reasons if more families want their children to stay back in their home

countries? Do you think the uncertain situation regarding their career opportunities can be an involved

factor or are there any other factors?

4. Generally, what proportion of families of international students want their children to build their

careers abroad more than ever? In your opinion what factors can be involved in this perception? Do

you believe that economic stability and financial security can be a reason? If yes, how? If not, why

not?
