This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument sets Australia’s Tuition Protection Service premiums for 2021: a base levy of 0.04% of tuition with a risk-rated multiplier so higher‑risk providers pay more. The multiplier reflects factors like operating history, enrolment growth and concentration, and compliance history. It mainly affects private providers of international students (universities, government schools and some VET are exempt) and raises costs for riskier operators.

Determining whether a registered provider is an expanding provider (3) A registered provider is an expanding provider if the provider had overseas student enrolments in 2019 and the number of overseas student enrolments in 2020 was greater than the number of enrolments in 2019. Working out the percentage of a registered provider’s volatility in overseas student enrolments (4) If a registered provider did not have overseas student enrolments in 2019, the registered provider’s volatility in overseas student enrolments is 0. (5) If a registered provider is an expanding provider under subsection (3), the percentage of a registered provider’s volatility in overseas student enrolments is worked out using the formula:

Where more than one item in the table at subsection (2) applies, the increase factor is the sum of the factors in column 3.
Working out the weighted late payment measure (4) A registered provider’s weighted late payment measure is worked out by adding the results of the calculations in the following paragraphs: (a) for 2020, work out 0.7 x [ARC + ETMC + TPSL]; (b) for 2019, work out 0.2 x [ARC + ETMC + TPSL]; (c) for 2018, work out 0.1 x [ARC + ETMC + TPSL]; where:
ARC, for a year, means:
(a) the number of days after the due date on which the annual registration charge for that year was received; or
(b) if payment was received on or before the due date—zero.
ETMC, for a year, means:
(a) the number of days after the due date on which the entry to market charge for that year was received; or
(b) if the payment was received on or before the due date—zero.
TPSL, for a year, means:
(a) the number of days after the due date on which the TPS levy payable for that year was received; or
(b) if the TPS levy was received on or before the due date—zero.
(1) This section applies if a provider amalgamates 2 or more registrations on CRICOS into a single registration through the national registration process in 2020.
Note: For the process to request amalgamation, see item 96 of Schedule 2 to the Education Services for Overseas Students Legislation Amendment (Tuition Protection Service and Other Measures) Act 2012.
(2) If this section applies to a provider, the provider’s risk factors in sections 7 to 11 are to be recalculated as applicable: (a) the risk factor length of operation is to be calculated in respect of the resultant amalgamated registration for the period: (i) beginning at the start of the longest‑running registration in the amalgamation; and (ii) ending on 31 December 2020; (b) the risk factor volatility in overseas student enrolments is to be calculated using subsections 9(4) to 9(5), but treating the number of overseas student enrolments for a year as the sum of student enrolments for all registrations in that year that were amalgamated into the single registration; (c) the risk factor maximum overseas students source country concentration is to be calculated using subsection 10(3), as follows: (i) the number of enrolments for each overseas source country is to be calculated as the sum of the enrolments for that overseas source country with each of the registrations that were amalgamated into the single registration; (ii) the total number of enrolments is to be calculated as the sum of the total number of enrolments for all registrations that were amalgamated into the single registration; (d) the risk factor non-compliance and registration renewal is to be calculated for the resultant amalgamated registration in respect to the weighted late payment measure and actions under section 83 of the ESOS Act for the provider, in the 2020 year; (e) the overseas students’ tuition fee income for 2020 is to be calculated as the sum of the overseas students’ tuition fee income for the courses in relation to all registrations that were amalgamated into the single registration.
For the purposes of subsection 10(2) of the ESOS (TPS Levies) Act, the specified percentage for 2020 is 0.
