  • TEQSA wins national acclaim for best practice innovation

    TEQSA’s initiative to reshape how regulatory risk is managed in the higher education sector has been recognised as best practice in an Australian public service organisation.

    Our innovative ReStreg process is the winner in the risk initiative category of the Commonwealth Awards for Excellence in Risk Management 2025.

    The ReStreg process was developed as a risk-based, tiered assessment model that introduced mandatory self-assurance reporting and complexity categorisation.

    When faced with a surge in higher education re-registration applications, TEQSA used the ReStreg process to allocate resources more effectively, focus effort where risk was highest and streamline low-risk assessments.

    The results have been impressive, including:

    • a 228% increase in decisions finalised in 2024
    • a saving of over 1,500 staff hours in just 7 months.

    The ReStreg process has helped to strengthen a culture of risk awareness and accountability across the sector, as well as improving provider engagement and regulatory compliance. The initiative has subsequently influenced TEQSA’s other regulatory functions and inspired cross-sectoral learning.

    During the judging process, TEQSA’s planning, implementation and sustainability was commended as “a powerful example of how risk-informed strategies can deliver measurable outcomes and sector-wide benefits”.

    “Congratulations to TEQSA for its contribution to the advancement of risk management best practice in the APS (Australian Public Service).”

    The Commonwealth Awards for Excellence in Risk Management 2025 celebrate Australian public service organisations for their outstanding risk management systems, practices and activities. These awards highlight strong leadership, innovation and a commitment to building a risk-aware culture.

  • Our approach to quality assurance and regulation

    Overview

    TEQSA is the national regulator of higher education in Australia, an independent agency that was established under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act).

    We protect the interests of students and the reputation and standing of Australian higher education.

    Our approach to quality assurance and regulation is:

    • standards-based, risk-reflective and transparent
    • positioned to promote and facilitate a culture of effective self-assurance as an integral part of a provider’s operations
    • only intervening to the extent necessary to achieve our regulatory purpose
    • based on a model of regulatory partnerships, with individual providers and the sector overall.

    Compliance frameworks we regulate

    In addition to the TEQSA Act, we are primarily responsible for regulation by ensuring providers comply with:

    Compliance with the Threshold Standards

    All providers are expected to comply with the Threshold Standards to manage their higher education activities and risks. This includes for matters such as the adequacy of facilities, staffing levels, support services, and academic and corporate governance.

    Compliance with the ESOS Framework

    All providers who deliver higher education to overseas students studying in Australia, including ELICOS and Foundation Programs, are expected to comply with the ESOS Framework.

    Providers offering higher education courses to overseas students must be registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). CRICOS identifies both the providers and the courses that have been registered.

    The ESOS Framework sets out the obligations relevant to these providers and focuses on the unique needs of overseas students studying in Australia.

    • For more information about the ESOS Framework, see our ESOS Act page

    How we regulate the higher education sector

    We regulate the sector through:

    • assessing risks to the sector via data collection and analyses
    • registering and re-registering providers
    • accrediting courses (where a provider does not have authority to self-accredit)
    • sharing information with the sector about how to improve and maintain compliance
    • monitoring compliance
    • working with providers to return to compliance and taking action to enforce compliance if necessary.

  • TEQSA and the regulation of ELICOS

    Body

    This FAQ sheet has been developed to answer questions that are commonly asked by providers of ELICOS and Foundation Programs about aspects of regulation that apply to them. They also capture questions raised during the 2013 NEAS Annual Conference.

    What areas of regulation is TEQSA responsible for?

    The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) has regulatory responsibility for the higher education sector, Foundation Programs and ELICOS courses delivered by a registered higher education provider, or by a provider that has an entry arrangement with at least one registered higher education provider.

    TEQSA regulates under the TEQSA Act and ESOS Act for registered higher education providers, and the ESOS Act for Foundation Program providers and courses, and ELICOS and ELICOS providers.

    Establishing the two national regulators, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and TEQSA was a major step in streamlining and strengthening the regulation and quality assurance of international education.

    What expertise does TEQSA bring to the assessment of ELICOS applications?

    TEQSA has a number of staff with specific experience in regulating ELICOS and working in the ELICOS field. When it is necessary to involve specialised expertise, TEQSA engages external experts. These experts are drawn from TEQSA’s Register of Experts (Register) which was established to enable TEQSA to draw on specialist knowledge and advice as part of the assessment process. Experts are engaged to assess relevant aspects of a CRICOS application.

    The most common reason for engaging an expert in the ELICOS area is to assess an ELICOS curriculum. TEQSA ensures that an expert’s professional experience and qualifications match the particular task required. Experts are briefed before an assignment and given the specifications of the task. They are also required to sign a confidentiality agreement with TEQSA.

    As of June 2013, there are 16 people with ELICOS experience on the Register. We expect to add to this list when the next round of invitations to join the Register opens later this year. TEQSA is also able to call on other ELICOS professionals who are not on the Register, if needed.

    More information about TEQSA’s Register is available from out Information for TEQSA experts page.

    Does TEQSA conduct audits?

    No – TEQSA does not use the term audit. TEQSA assesses providers using the information submitted by providers during the application or notification process. In some cases TEQSA may decide to undertake site visits. Further details on site visits are below.

    What is the division of responsibility between TEQSA and NEAS?

    TEQSA is required by law to assess ELICOS providers against the ESOS Act, the National Code and the ELICOS National Standards. NEAS Accreditation, on the other hand, is an assessment against the NEAS Standards.

    TEQSA is not able to delegate its regulatory responsibilities to third parties, such as NEAS. TEQSA’s assessment of providers against the ELICOS National Standards is an important part of its role in maintaining standards.

    Providers can, however, submit evidence to TEQSA that may have formed part of their NEAS accreditation application, where relevant.

    If TEQSA can accept a statement to prove compliance with the National Code, why doesn’t this principle apply to the ELICOS National Standards?

    TEQSA’s Application Guide for CRICOS Re-registration states that: “In some cases TEQSA may choose to accept from a provider a statement that it satisfies all of the requirements of the National Code without conducting a site inspection, as long as the course or courses of study are provided entirely by the provider (that is, not under any arrangement with another provider)”, p.4. Some providers have asked why this principle does not apply to the ELICOS National Standards.

    A site visit is normally conducted by TEQSA in the following circumstances:

    • if the evidence provided in the provider’s CRICOS re-registration application is insufficient
    • if the evidence provided raises additional questions about possible non-compliance
    • if the provider is new; or
    • if a TEQSA risk assessment warrants a visit.

    A site visit is not a substitute, however, for a full CRICOS re-registration application through which a provider demonstrates its compliance with the ESOS Act and the National Code. A site visit is supplementary to the re-registration process and only looks at part of a provider’s operations.

    While regular site visits were the practice of some former state regulators, the National Code does not require the regulator to do this. TEQSA takes a risk-based approach to regulation, which means that in each case, it considers whether a site visit is necessary.

    How does TEQSA minimise the costs of regulation for providers?

    TEQSA is mindful of the impact of compliance costs on small providers. TEQSA does not operate on a full cost-recovery basis which means that it does not charge the actual cost of the regulatory activity. There are also many regulatory activities for which TEQSA does not charge, for example, changes to course costs, course duration, changes to PEO, intention to relocate, and adding a course on CRICOS at a site where a course is already delivered.

    Providers are required under the ESOS Act to keep the data recorded on PRISMS up-to-date. Providers can request their regulator to update their course costs on PRISMS. TEQSA does not charge a fee to providers advising of changes to course costs, and providers can advise TEQSA by sending an email to their Case Manager.

    What attention does TEQSA give to the financial position of colleges?

    In assessing risk within the ESOS regulatory framework, TEQSA has a clear focus on providers’ financial status.

    The overarching (and universally accepted) ESOS risk factor is the likelihood that a provider’s behaviour will adversely affect Australia’s international education reputation. The three key aspects of risk underpinning this concern are the likelihood that a provider:

    • does not delivery quality/education outcomes for students
    • will fail/close; and
    • will not meet obligations under the ESOS legislative framework.

    TEQSA’s own risk framework, which encompasses ELICOS providers, focuses on financial sustainability, and has financial viability and safeguards as important risk indicators. The focus on financial sustainability is reflected in certain sections of the CRICOS re-registration application form.

    Stakeholder
    Publication type

  • Compliance monitoring approach

    Australian higher education providers must meet a range of obligations under the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 (HES Framework).

    Our compliance monitoring approach supports us to identify any current or emerging risks of non-compliance with these obligations and target them proactively.

    This work is informed by our Compliance Monitoring Framework, provider risk assessments and other information sources.

    TEQSA uses a prioritisation model to identify risks and allocate resources. This includes setting annual compliance priorities to focus our work.

    In the event we identify non-compliance with the HES Framework, our response is guided by our Compliance and Enforcement policy.

    We also publish an annual compliance report that outlines our priorities and updates the sector on progress from the previous year.

    This report also includes guidance for higher education providers to help them meet obligations.

    Renewal of course accreditation

    Report on renewal of accreditation of three higher education courses of study offered by Kaplan Higher Education Pty Ltd

    TEQSA has determined, under Section 56 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (the TEQSA Act), to renew accreditation of the following higher education courses of study offered by Kaplan Higher Education Pty Ltd for a period of seven years until 1 August 2020:

    • Master of Applied Finance
    • Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance
    • Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance

    Background to Decision

    Kaplan Higher Education Pty Ltd submitted an application for renewal of accreditation of three courses of study under Part 4 of the TEQSA Act. Subsection 45(4) of the TEQSA Act requires a registered higher education provider who is not authorised to self-accredit the course of study to apply to TEQSA for accreditation. Subsection 56(4) enables TEQSA to renew accreditation of a course of study for a period not exceeding seven years.

    Main Reasons for the Decision

    TEQSA has determined that the three higher education courses of study submitted by Kaplan Higher Education Pty Ltd for accreditation comply with the Provider Course Accreditation Standards. The course accreditation covers delivery at all Australian sites.
