TEQSA and higher education providers share a focus on the prevention, detection and substantiation of commercial academic cheating, also known as contract cheating.

Resources on this page support Australian higher education providers to meet the academic integrity requirements detailed in the Higher Education Standards Framework (2015).

Materials and videos from TEQSA’s Academic Integrity Workshops held in 2019 are available on this page for anyone undertaking academic integrity training or who wishes to refresh their knowledge.

Academic integrity toolkit launch webinar

The academic integrity project team held a webinar on 13 October 2020 to talk through the newly launched TEQSA academic integrity toolkit.

To support the sector to respond to emerging academic integrity issues, we are publishing information here for providers.

We’re supporting Australian higher education providers and working with overseas quality assurance agencies to uphold academic integrity and address the risks posed by commercial academic cheating services.
