5 The effect of the National Code 2018
The National Code 2018 sets standards to ensure education services meet the needs and expectations of overseas students who come to Australia, and satisfy the objectives of the ESOS Act.
The National Code complements the strong quality assurance frameworks used by government agencies to oversee the Australian education system.
ESOS agencies may use information given by providers for other purposes in assessing their registration or compliance under the ESOS Act.
The National Code has legal effect as expressly provided for by the ESOS Act. Therefore, breaches of the National Code by registered providers can result in actions being taken against a registered provider under Division 1A in Part 6 of the ESOS Act, including suspension or cancellation of registration.
