DEEWR (DEST) Explanatory Guide
With the implementation of the National Code 2007, and in addition to the National Code Transition Support Program of which the online tutorial is part, DEEWR (formerly DEST) offers further support to the international education industry to enable an easy transition with the provision of the National Code 2007 Explanatory Guide.
The National Code 2007 Explanatory Guide is a comprehensive and nationally consistent source of advice and assistance to education providers on the implementation of the National Code 2007. This will help registered providers make a smooth transition to (and ensure ongoing compliance with) the requirements of the National Code 2007. It supersedes the National Code in force from 2001 until 30 June 2007.
This guide includes plain English notes, definitions, policy interpretations, Q&A, compliance tips, and sector-specific scenarios where appropriate. Essentially, the aim is to show how the National Code 2007 will apply in the real world. The explanatory guide is a web-based document as this allows greater flexibility and functionality than a print-based guide, and will be updated twice a year.
Both education providers and students have contributed valuable ideas particularly through their peak bodies. Their collective input enriches the document with material grounded in the education environment reality. The participation of state and territory registration authorities has rounded out the explanations resulting in the Guide being a workable and useful document for all parties.
