• A person who provides a course at a location to an overseas student must be registered to provide that course at that location (or do so in accordance with an arrangement with a provider who is so registered).

• Division 2 creates an offence for a person who contravenes that requirement. It is also an offence for a registered provider to offer courses, or hold itself out as able to provide a course, to overseas students without being appropriately registered (or doing so in accordance with an appropriate arrangement).

• Approved providers are registered under Division 3. A provider’s registration lists all of the courses that the provider is registered to provide, and the locations at which the provider is registered to provide those courses. Conditions can be imposed on a provider’s registration. A registration lasts for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 years.

• The Register (which contains each provider’s registration) is maintained, and kept up‑to‑date, under Division 4.
