On Monday, the federal government announced risk indicators would be built into the international education system to better ensure private providers comply with regulations. This will include better analysis of student attendance. The amendment will strengthen standards needed for providers to gain and hold registration, while also cracking down on cross-ownership of businesses between education providers and agents.
The review was ordered after the Nine newspapers reported failures in Australia’s migration system, including allegations of human trafficking, foreign worker exploitation and visa scams.
