Abstract
The Australian International Education Industry (IEI) has been serving Australia to meet the goals of long-term skill shortages, along with its enormous contribution to Australian economy (Connelly, 2010). However, feeding Australia
with skilled international professionals is now a top priority, sourcing the right people is a complex business (Cooper, 2010). Therefore, Australia has been reinforcing its immigration policy every year based on the contemporary issues of skill shortage in the aim of meeting concurrent skill shortage goals (Australian Government, 2010). Some of the initiatives related to such a continuous changes of immigration policy have been impacted the Australian IEI indifferently. From this perspective, ten issues are emerged from literature review as contemporary challenges of the IEI, as they are impacting gloomily the brand Australia as ultimate education provider of international students. A research associated with these challenges has been initiated in the aim of rebranding the Australian IEI to reform a positive image in the mind of the key stakeholders. Merrilees and Miller‘s (2008) rebranding principles are utilised in the secondary research to flourish a rebranding opportunity for Australian IEI. A conceptual rebranding model has emerged surrounding the identified contemporary challenges of the industry from the findings of the secondary research. Reinforcing the model established as an ideal pattern for marketers for rebranding industrial or corporate image.
