July 2010
Universities Australia welcomes the opportunity to provide comment on the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Legislation Amendment 2010. The ESOS Amendment 2010, introduced into the House 23 June 2010, was referred to the Senate Committee for Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, to report by 24 August.
Universities Australia supports the policy to strengthen the ESOS Act and its Regulations so as to increase the quality of Australia's international education system. However, it is vital that any proposed changes to the existing system allow for a balanced approach to costs and benefits, and universities as low risk providers are not unduly burdened by administrative load and potential commercial disadvantage.
