The Education Services for Overseas Students Amendment (Quality and Integrity) Bill 2024 amends the ESOS Act to enhance the quality, integrity, and sustainable growth of Australia's international education sector. The Bill addresses issues highlighted in the Nixon Review and the Government's Migration Strategy by introducing stricter regulations on education providers and agents. Key measures include requiring providers to disclose education agent commission information, considering the ownership or control relationships between providers and agents in determining fitness for registration, and mandating providers to deliver courses exclusively to domestic students for two years before applying to register courses for overseas students. The Bill also empowers the Minister for Education to set enrollment limits for overseas students and introduces automatic suspensions or cancellations for providers that fail to meet specific criteria or standards.
These amendments impact higher education institutions, Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, and schools offering education services to international students, aligning with broader reforms to Australia's migration system. The Bill also introduces measures to automatically suspend or cancel courses identified by the Minister as having systemic delivery issues or providing limited value to Australia's skills and training needs. The changes aim to strengthen the integrity of the sector while supporting the government's priorities for migration and education reform.
