The Australian government announces a new solution to protect the rights of international students.
The government has introduced new measures aimed at enhancing policies to protect international students, especially those studying in Australia. This policy is not only aimed at ensuring health, cultural, and social safety for students but also emphasizes creating a positive learning environment to help them quickly adapt to the new environment and address any challenges that may arise during their studies. This ensures that students receive the best learning experience, making Australia the top choice for the global student community.
The new measures include:
- Fees related to transferring between education providers in Australia are no longer accepted. This new regulation ensures that students make transfer decisions based on objective and accurate factors such as educational quality, facilities, support services, and tuition fees, etc.
- The Australian government has established a Quality Assurance Unit for new VET (Vocational Education and Training) programs under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to ensure that students receive the highest quality education and training programs.
- Australian schools will be granted access to the database of education providers to ensure the quality of international education in Australia. This will help schools assess the quality of services from education providers, ensuring a selective enrolment where student can complete the program with high academic results.
- Strict monitoring of international students’ attendance rates and possible implementation of sanctions if the regulations are violated. Students who are absent must have a legitimate reason or a medical certificate from the hospital.
If you are facing difficulties in your study process, you can contact the SET Overseas Office system in Australia for timely support regarding transfer, visa extension, changing majors, schools, the 485 work visa, etc. Additionally, SET regularly organizes activities such as exam preparation, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas for the Vietnamese student community to socialize and help you quickly integrate into the study environment in Australia.
