ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the involvement of Australian higher education in international education and argues that Australia’s colonialist exercise is now being questioned by its own staff and students, and faces challenges by foreign governments. These challenges and the changing nature of the international student market offer the Australian higher education system an opportunity to reassess its focus on a multicultural approach and consider benefi ts of an intercultural approach to meet the need of both native and international students for an education that prepares them to live and work in our globalized world.
