QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), enables each person studying to find the best way suitable to meet their goals corresponding to their capacities. Beginning with the higher level of high school, all qualifications are connected together and compatible entirely in contrast to the educational way in many other countries.

The Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) is an independent, national quality assurance body that will audit Australian universities every five years beginning in 2001 and controls the regularity, reliability, and quality of the achievements of all universities. International students and parents will have access to AUQA audit reports. The Australian Government also publishes university quality assurance and improvement plans yearly, which help to find the university that best meets the student’s needs and interests and which guarantee uniform and transparent nationwide standards. Therefore solid studying and solidly education is guaranteed.

Vice-Chancellors of all Australian universities have signed the Code of Ethical Practice in the Provision of Education to International Students by Australian Universities, and associated Guidelines, which aims to secure the interests of international students, and assures the service quality from the universities. The code covers the universities’ promotion and marketing, agents and partners, and provides information on admission of students, arrival and orientation, student support, fee-charging and refunds, university infrastructure and returning home support.

All visitors on a student visa are covered by the consumer and financial protections of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000. http://www.dest.gov.au/esos/
