How does TEQSA uphold standards for students?
TEQSA regulates providers of higher education in Australia. We do this under legislation aimed at protecting the interests of Australian domestic students studying in Australia and overseas, as well as international students studying in Australia.
Two of the objects of the TEQSA Act make clear that TEQSA must:
protect students undertaking, or proposing to undertake higher education by requiring the provision of quality higher education; and
ensure that students undertaking, or proposing to undertake higher education in Australia, or with Australian higher education providers overseas, have access to information relating to their experience.
