  • Bachelor of Information Technology

On 9 December 2025, TEQSA:

• imposed, under section 32 of the TEQSA Act, the following conditions on the registration of Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd as an Institute of Higher Education:

Condition 1: Corporate Monitoring and Accountability

For the first 4 years after course delivery commences, Nexus Institute of Higher Education (NIHE) must at all times throughout the period of registration maintain within NIHE controlled bank accounts minimum unrestricted cash reserves of 2 months equivalent operating expenses. The calculation of 2 months equivalent operating expenses is based on either a rolling cashflow forecast or average monthly expenditure as calculated from annual profit and loss projections contained within the super sensitised case.

If the minimum unrestricted cash reserves referred to within Condition 1 are not maintained, NIHE must notify TEQSA in writing within 5 business days, together with its proposed action to bring unrestricted cash reserves back into compliance with Condition 1. Plans of action must:

1. include a copy of the rolling cashflow forecast relied upon for the remainder of the current financial reported period.
2. sufficiently address the liquidity issues caused by unrestricted cash reserves falling below two months operating expenses.
3. detail consideration afforded to updating corporate planning documents, including but not limited to business plans.
4. incorporate a planned action to notify TEQSA in writing, within 2 business days, when minimum unrestricted cash reserves are returned to two months equivalent operating expenses.

If the minimum unrestricted cash reserves referred to within Condition 1 remain in shortfall, NIHE must report in writing to TEQSA within 3 months of the initial report to TEQSA (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by a Director of TEQSA's regulatory operations branch). The board approved report provided to TEQSA must:

1. include the approved annual financial budget and annual profit and loss projections for the current and upcoming financial reporting period.
2. include the rolling cash flow forecast or cash flows for the next 12 months from the date of the initial report to TEQSA referred to in Condition 1.
3. include a board approved revised financial plan with student projections.
4. provide the actual figures for both the number of students enrolled and EFTSL, compared to those projected in each respective year of the super sensitised case.
5. include plans of action that aim to sufficiently address the issues raised by the event/s within a reasonable timeframe.
6. include additional supporting documents and evidence to substantiate the above financial documents, including but not limited to, working files and assumptions relied upon to develop corporate planning documents such as annual budget and cashflow forecast.

Main reasons for the decision

TEQSA made these decisions on the basis that it was satisfied that provider Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd continues to meet the applicable Standards of the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021. However, TEQSA considered that there remained a risk related to Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd.'s capacity to meet the Threshold Standards in the future.

On this basis, TEQSA agreed that it was appropriate to register Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd for a period of five years until 25 November 2032, and to accredit Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd.'s Diploma of Information Technology and Bachelor of Information Technology courses for the same period. The five-year period of registration and accreditation is consistent with the basic principles of regulation and reflects risks associated with an applicant for initial registration intending to offer a higher education course but having no history in the provision of higher education.

TEQSA also agreed it was appropriate to impose one condition on Nexus Institute of Higher Education Pty Ltd.'s registration to manage risks regarding establishing realistic performance tasks and financial viability and reporting.

Application to withdraw conditions

In accordance with section 32 of the TEQSA Act, TEQSA may vary or revoke a condition imposed on the registration of a higher education provider, either on its own initiative or upon application by the provider for variation or revocation.
