Accomodation problems for Nepali students in Australia - What role can the embassy play?

Nepal is currently the third largest source of international students in Australia. With the increasing number, stories of accommodation and employment problems faced by Nepali students continue to dominate social media conversations. Bijay Sapkota is the president of the Council of International Students Australia and he spoke to SBS Nepali about what students can do if they're facing such problems and whether the Nepali embassy in Canberra has been of any assistance in resolving accommodation issues.
