Education providers who enrol international students are required to comply with the ESOS legislative framework. This framework consists of the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act), the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students (National Code) and the Education Services for Overseas Students Regulations 2001 (ESOS Regulations).
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.
