The figures you quoted are out of date. WA suffered a large drop in international students in 2018 after the State Government asked the Commonwealth to remove WA from the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme. That move saw WA's intake of international students drop from 11 per cent of the total market share to just 5 per cent. In June 2019, WA had only about 39,000 international students.
The State Government reversed its position on the RSMS late last year, but the epidemic has put paid to any recovery in numbers.
