The Australian Government has introduced the Education Legislation Amendment (Integrity and Other Measures) Bill 2025, aimed at strengthening the quality, integrity, and sustainability of the education sector.
A key focus of the Bill is to enhance equity and access in higher education, particularly for First Nations peoples.
Amendments to the ESOS Act 2000
The Bill amends the ESOS Act 2000 to strengthen provider registration requirements, increase transparency around education agent commissions, and expand the powers of the Minister and regulatory agencies to manage providers and courses. It introduces clearer rules for course delivery, allows for the automatic suspension or cancellation of non-compliant providers, and enhances review and appeal processes. These changes aim to improve the integrity of international education and address issues identified in the Nixon Review and the Government’s Migration Strategy.
