1. Introduction This report presents data on graduate employment outcomes for international students at Australian higher education institutions, approximately four to six months after they have completed their studies. Information is drawn from the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS), an annual survey conducted on behalf of the department by the Social Research Centre as part of the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) program. In 2021, the GOS gathered over 35,000 responses from international graduates, with a response rate of 33.6 per cent. Results from the GOS for domestic graduates are published in a national report on the QILT website and in an interactive comparison tool at the institution by study area level on the ComparED website. Although international graduates have always been in scope for the GOS, results have not previously been published. It is envisaged that data for international graduates will be available annually from 2021. Consistent with the department’s reporting of international student enrolments and completions, international graduates are defined in this report as graduates who were recorded as having non-Australian citizen status in the Higher Education Information Management System (HEIMS) at the time they were enrolled as students (with the exception of New Zealand citizens and students on humanitarian visas, who are considered to be domestic students). Unless otherwise noted, graduate outcomes refer to graduates living both in Australia and overseas at the time of the survey. The exception is for salaries, which refers to graduates employed full-time within Australia only. Because data is drawn from a survey to which only a subset of graduates respond, analysis can be affected both by the total number of survey responses and by how representative those responses received are of the total graduate population. In this report, data is not reported where there are fewer than 25 survey responses, as indicated by ‘n.a.’ in tables. For institution level data, 90 per cent confidence intervals are presented to aid in interpreting results. It is known that GOS data is not representative by international graduates’ country of origin, with Chinese graduates in particular being under-represented. It is unknown how representative the survey is in relation to whether a graduate is living in Australia or overseas at the time of the survey. The department is continuing to work with SRC to improve both overall survey response rates and data representativeness for international graduates. Further information on survey methodology and data representativeness can be found in Appendix 1 of this report. Definitions of labour market outcomes are presented in Appendix 2 of this report. 2021 GOS International Report 1
