The Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act)—and associated legislation—form the ESOS Framework. This is the legal framework for the provision of education services to overseas students, and sets out the registration requirements and the ongoing standards for education providers that offer courses to overseas students. The framework provides a consistent national approach to the registration of education providers so that the quality of the training, and the care of students, remains high. It protects the rights of international students studying in Australia.

The National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (National Code) sets out eleven Standards for the conduct of registered providers. The Code governs the protection of overseas students and is a legislative instrument of the ESOS Act. As such, it is legally enforceable—breaches of the National Code by providers can result in enforcement action under the ESOS Act.

Given the significant importance of The Framework, this PD will help participants to understand the eleven Standards as outlined in The National Code through creative and interactive learning. There will be interesting group activities, role plays, and a competition (mystery prizes to be won) to spice-up the whole learning environment! We trust that you will have a good time learning about ESOS and it is going to be one of the best way to help you in understanding the complexity of this important legislative instrument.

By the end of the session, you will learn (in a creative way) more about:

• ESOS Legislative Framework
• The National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018
• How the framework affects the work you do when working in the international education sector
• How you could apply those standards in your work when supporting international students.
