These regulatory obligations encompass the international student life cycle from enquiry, application, offer, acceptance, orientation and beyond … ensuring satisfactory course progress, attendance and completion within course duration.
This workshop will examine the regulatory framework that governs international education in Australia. Participants will be guided through the Act, the Code and the Regulations to gain a better understanding of what is required to be compliant with a specific focus on their area of responsibility. Good practice will be discussed to enable participants to identify the adequacy of existing compliance measures and to consider opportunities for improvement.
During this workshop, we will also discuss implementing the changes to the ESOS Regulations coming into effect on the 1st of October. Participants are encouraged to bring real life case scenarios to the workshop for group discussion to determine the best possible outcome … keeping in mind the needs of the student, the institution and regulatory obligations.

The emphasis in this PD session is on assisting with the emotional well being of the person whom you are helping, rather than on the skills needed to address physical injuries and illness. For this reason, the skills you learn may be applied to very common, everyday situations, especially when working with students from different backgrounds and cultures.
There may be no evidence of cause for the distress that you observe in someone, but you may feel that there is nevertheless grief or stress present, and you would like to feel competent to help in some way. Perhaps you have found yourself in a situation among distressed people where you are asked to provide help, or you may see that help is needed, but you are not quite sure how to offer it. Yet, you know that to do nothing is not an option, so you pitch in and do your best to provide comfort until professional help arrives.
Thus, in this PD session, you will learn how to recognise symptoms of mental distress that might not be so evident to others and what you can do when there is a need for a person (a victim’s family member, for example) to be referred on to more advanced levels of help, such as to counsellors, doctors, or the police. You will learn a different set of skills and develop your own approach that suits you best when working with individuals.
Note: MHSS training is different from MHFA in terms of its learning content and outcomes.
By the end of the session, you will learn:

*To be eligible for an Early Career Researcher (ECR) grant the project must be led by an ECR. An ECR is an emerging researcher who is at an early stage of their academic career. Researchers may be eligible to apply if they have been awarded a PhD within 8 years. The grants are open to both academic and professional staff.
Applications are invited on topics related to one of the following themes identified through National WIL Strategy and the 2018 ACEN National Research Symposium.
• Innovative and scalable WIL models
• WIL and global mobility
• Leadership in WIL
• Digital technology enabling WIL
• Building learner agency and professional identity through WIL
• WIL practices supporting diverse learners
The grants are intended to:
• build the capacity of ACEN members including early career researchers and higher degree research students to undertake research into WIL
• promote and support scholarship in WIL
• develop effective mechanisms for identifying, developing, disseminating and embedding research-based practice in WIL programs
• leverage opportunities for collaboration in WIL research and the sharing of WIL resources.
These research grants are valued at a maximum of $10,000 plus GST for each full Research Grant and $5,000 plus GST for ECR grants. The projects should be completed within a twelve-month period. Funding will be paid at the commencement of the project on provision of an invoice from the institution. Any unspent funds must be returned to ACEN at the end of the project.
At the conclusion of the project successful applicants will be required to complete a project report which will be published to the ACEN website and to submit a statutory declaration detailing how funds were spent.
• The grants are available to professional or academic staff of institutions with ACEN Full Institutional Membership.
• The grants are not available to members of the ACEN Board.
• Applications that include industry or community organization partners are encouraged.
The application must be provided as a Word document and not exceed five pages and may be addressed to the ‘ACEN Research Chair’.
Areas that must be addressed in the application are:
Examples of allowable budget expenses include personnel plus on-costs (clerical support, student assistance, etc.), postage, printing, photocopying, travel for conference presentation, telephone and fax costs, and office supplies. Items must be directly related to achieving the research project.
Examples of non-allowable budget expenses include salary for the applicant, indirect institutional expenses, institutional overheads, permanent equipment and capital purchases.
A letter of endorsement from the first named project lead’s line manager must accompany the application. This endorsement indicates support for the project and a willingness to provide time for the project to be undertaken. The letter of endorsement should be attached to the same email as the application.
It is the responsibility of the Project Lead to:
• arrange ethics approval
• involve other ACEN members in the process, especially early career researchers, where possible
• meet negotiated timelines and ACEN reporting deadlines
• present on findings at an ACEN event including webinars
• leverage dissemination opportunities to share good practice including a refereed publication
• ensure that any resources developed through the project are designed with a view that these are made available for use by the ACEN community and where appropriate a Creative Commons License such as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International is applied to these resources
• any publications and resources developed through the project should acknowledge the contribution of ACEN to the project
• provide details of the refereed publication (when available) to ACEN National Board for dissemination.
The project proposals will be assessed using the following criteria:
• significance to one or more of the research grant themes
• quality of the design
• potential impact and transferability of project outcomes
• capacity of the project to deliver proposed outcomes
• involvement of early career researchers (this will be viewed favourably for projects applying for full research grants)
Applications must be sent to admin@acen.edu.au by 5pm AEST on Thursday May 2, 2019
