Understanding the ESOS Legislative Framework

Understanding the ESOS Legislative Framework

This session will examine the regulatory framework that governs international education in Australia. Participants will focus on the Code to gain a better understanding of what is required to be compliant across the student journey and what constitutes good practice.

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 2018 (National Code) and the Education Services for Overseas Students Regulations 2019 (ESOS Regulations).

These regulatory obligations encompass the international student journey from marketing, recruitment, education agents, offer, acceptance, orientation and beyond. Ensuring satisfactory course progress, attendance and completion within course duration.
