EDUCATION SERVICES FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS ACT 2000 - SECT 83A

Guide to this Part

  Action may be taken under this Part   in certain circumstances including if a registered provider is not complying with this Act, the national code, the ELICOS Standards, the Foundation Program Standards or a condition of the provider's registration.

  The ESOS agency for a registered provider can take enforcement action (such as imposing conditions, or suspending or cancelling a registration) under Division   1. Such action can be taken in relation to a provider's registration generally or in relation to a specific course at a specific location. Division   1 also provides for automatic suspension or cancellation of a provider's registration in certain circumstances.

  The Immigration Minister can give a suspension certificate under Division   2 if a significant number of overseas students or intending overseas students are entering or remaining in Australia for a purpose not contemplated by their visas. A registered provider must not offer courses, or hold itself out as able to provide a course, to overseas students while such a certificate is in force for the provider.

  Division   3 provides for certain offences, such as failing to identify a registered provider in written material or providing false or misleading information.
