The Koala News is the daily briefing for international education — intelligent, occasionally cheeky, uniquely Australian and proudly global.
Founded by Dirk Mulder in 2023, The Koala News covers the sector that moves students across borders: policy shifts, visa and migration changes, recruitment trends, university and college strategy, agent and provider news, and the student support services that hold it all together. Balanced coverage, editorial integrity, and no bearfaced lies.
