Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS)
The ESOS Act 2000 is Commonwealth government legislation that ensures providers of education and training are regulated in the delivery of education services to international students. All providers and programs available to International students are required to be registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).
The Act also provides for obligations and restrictions on students to comply with the conditions of their student visa. Under the Act, the University is required to monitor and report on some of these conditions to the Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA).
A National Code of Practice has been established which provides for consistent standards for the registration and conduct of registered providers and the conduct of persons who deliver educational services on behalf of registered providers.
Student Administrative Services is responsible for coordinating the monitoring and reporting requirements under the Act and is available to provide advice to students and staff on the Act. Day to day management of International student matters is provided by the International and Research Students Officer who can be contacted by email esos@adfa.edu.au or by telephone +61 2 6268 6274.
