What “onshore” and “offshore” mean here
Onshore means the student was inside Australia when they lodged their application. Offshore means they were outside Australia. The grant rate is the proportion of decided applications that were approved (grants ÷ total decided, rounded to one decimal place). Figures cover the trailing six months up to the latest DHA data release, aggregated across all citizenship countries except Iraq, Syrian Arab Republic, and Lebanon (excluded consistently across this platform). Sector values exactly match DHA source data labels.
