Plans To Welcome International Students Back To Newcastle Delayed

 BY IAN CROUCH

The University of Newcastle's plans to welcome back international students has been put on hold.

The Morrison government has delayed re-opening the Australian border to skilled workers, international students and other visa holders until it gathers more information about the Omicron coronavirus variant.

Border restrictions were due to be lifted on Wedneday, but this has now been delayed until December 15.

250 international students are due to arrive early next month, with 14 heading to Newcastle.
