The Australian Government never fails to provide a secure and rewarding study environment for foreign students. Australia has a lot of legal rights and protection for international students.

Through the ESOS Framework, Australia’s laws foster quality education and consumer protection for international students. The ESOS Framework defines and retains national guidelines for international students’ education and training facilities. The law is designed to safeguard foreign research and to ensure that they receive a high-quality education.

Students Protection

The Australian Government protects their international students at any costs. They protect the rights to make sure you make the most of your time here. The courses and institutes must be registered. 

The courses taught at Australian University are certified by the government of Australia. 

Working in Australia

Workplace regulations in Australia offer basic rights and entitlements to all jobs, including international students. Under Australian labour rules, international students have the same rights to minimum wages and working conditions as Australian employees, as well as workers’ benefits.

Overseas Students Ombudsman

International student’s concerns about private education providers are investigated by the Commonwealth Ombudsman Office. They assist with all types of students. 

Students are not charged for using the services and filling a complaint. In addition, they guide you on how to handle complaints in the best possible way. The service is impartial and independent.

Tuition Protection Services

Australia is widely regarded as a global leader in covering foreign students tuition fees via Tuition Protection Service(TPS). TPS provides information on educational institutions that are unable to fully deliver the course of study and makes sure the students can:

1. Complete the studies in a different course or a different educational institution.
2. Receive a refund of their tuition fees.
