Updated National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students

The updated National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2017 came into effect on 10 April 2017. The new code is simply an administrative update which adopts terminology consistent with the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act) as amended in 2015. It also aligns the registration process under the ESOS Act, which took effect on 1 July 2016. The substantive content of this National Code is consistent with the version of the code (dated 2007) it replaced. This version of the National Code will be replaced later this year by a new National Code, consistent with the recent consultation process conducted by the Department of Education and Training.
