International students changing education providers

Registered education providers assess requests from students for a transfer between registered providers prior to the student completing six months of his or her principal course of study in accordance with their documented procedures.
The ESOS Act and regulations set out the legal framework governing delivery of education to overseas students in Australia. There are obligations under the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education which are made under, and forms part of, the ESOS Act.

Providers, from whom the student is seeking to transfer, are responsible for assessing the students request for transfer within the restricted period. It is expected that the student's request will be granted where the transfer will not be to the detriment of the student.

After the first six months of the principal course no restrictions apply.
Students unhappy about the transfer practice should firstly try to resolve the matter with their education institution.
