The Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) is responsible for administering the ESOS Act and its associated instruments. This includes managing CRICOS and supporting national consistency and policy development to assist the consistent interpretation and application of the ESOS framework, and the National Code in particular.
DEST also monitors compliance with the ESOS Act and the standards in the National Code, particularly focussing on student visa integrity and consumer protection. DEST is responsible for investigating and instigating enforcement action for breaches of both the ESOS Act and the National Code. DEST will publish information about its compliance and enforcement activities on a regular basis.
The ESOS framework recognises the role registered providers have in ensuring the integrity of Australia’s student visa programme through their ongoing contact with students during their stay in Australia. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is responsible for regulating students by administering the student visa programme.
