Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko says the arrangement to help Ukrainian students that has already been adopted by a number of UK tertiary institutions should also be available in Australia:

That same month, universities in Scotland waived the tuition fees from the academic year beginning in August, as long as their application is approved. The delivery from Australia of 70,000 tonnes of coal has just now arrived in Poland, on its way to Ukraine as the nation heads into winter. Mr Myroshnychenko said the event was "historic"- a rare chance for students to ask questions directly to a leader of a nation in war and see "the human face of the President of Ukraine".
"It was incredible. It was amazing. I'm so grateful for the experience. I am still processing in my mind that I was even able to ask a world leader a question live."
