New Medical Education Australia Pty Ltd

Application for registration and course accreditation

 

Decision: Rejected
Date of decision: 19 June 2025
Main reasons for decision:

The decisions were made on the basis that TEQSA was not satisfied that New Medical Education Pty Ltd meets the following criteria for establishing a greenfield ‘University College’ B1.2:

  • NewMed did not satisfy Criterion 13 which requires it to satisfy the criteria for the ‘Institute of Higher Education’ category, including:
    • Standard 6.2.1(b),(c),(e),(i) in relation to governance and accountability
    • Standards 2.1.1 in relation to learning environment
    • Standards 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 in relation to teaching.
  • NewMed did not satisfy Criterion 14 which requires it to provide strong evidence of financial backing necessary to sustain a ‘greenfield’ University College during start-up (at least the first five years).

The decision to reject the application for accreditation of the course was made as a consequence of the application for registration being rejected.
