The quarantine period before going on to uni sounds like a very good idea. However, I assume that they have decided not to go home until after the end of the school year, since that would require another quarantine period upon re-entry to Australia.

They haven't repatriated all their citizens now 10 months into this pandemic? This is severely criminal!

Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia - welcome.
I always wonder how a govt knows which people from unfriendly nations to allow in, especially for long-term living like college students. Training your future enemy or exporting your democratic ideals back to other countries. Hard to know who is whom?
I always feel bad for the Chinese students who just want an education and aren't political at all - here or there. There is always a little suspicion based on a tiny number of spies in recent history. 99.95%+ are just going for the education. How do we know who is there are other reasons?
