Ask an epidemiologist. Which is presumably what the Australian 
Government did before following the UK:

	"From 12:01am on Thursday 5 January 2023, people travelling to 
Australia from China, including Hong Kong and Macau will be asked to 
show evidence of a negative pre-departure test for COVID-19"

This will cause some inconvenience for travelers. But I don't think this 
will deter many, and particularity not international students.

However, I waited until a test was not required, before traveling 
internationally. Just getting the electronic vaccination certificate was 
a lot of work, even when I had the vaccinations (the name on my passport 
did not match that on my Medicare card).
