ESOS Supplementary Courses

The Minister for Education and Youth has made a legislative instrument, the Education Services for Overseas Students (Exempt Courses) Instrument 2021, exempting specific courses from the definition of course under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act). This exemption was developed through consultation with the sector over September-October 2020 and March-April 2021. It allows education providers to deliver certain courses to overseas students without registering them on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).

Courses available to both the VET and higher education sectors to overseas students without CRICOS registration.
