International students

​Schools that choose to host international students find great benefit from the cultural enrichment and global perspectives that these students bring to classroom discussions and school life.

Accreditation and enrolment

Schools must be accredited to teach some international students, depending on what visa they hold. Different visas also have different enrolment procedures.

Quality standards

All schools who teach international students must meet quality standards. The standards make sure schools provide high-quality services and comply with national codes of practice.

International student coordinators

Schools who host international students must appoint an international student coordinator. This person becomes the primary contact between the student, parents, school, Department and homestay families.
