The Guidelines for Approved NSW School Providers Delivering Courses to Overseas Students (‘the Guidelines’) have been amended to reflect the change in the NSW legislative framework for approval of NSW school providers. This change follows the repeal of the Vocational Education and Training (Commonwealth Powers) (Transitional) Regulation 2011 and the transfer of the provisions of that Regulation to the Education Act 1990.

The changes to the Guidelines provide updated information regarding the legislative framework for approval including replacement of references to the VET Transitional Regulation with relevant references to the new equivalent provisions in the Education Act 1990.

The changes to the Guidelines also incorporate:

• an update to the name of the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (‘DIICCSRTE’)
• some minor edits and clarifications to a range of sections.

These changes take effect with the publication of this Official Notice.

The amended Guidelines are available to download from the Schools with Overseas Students (CRICOS) section of the Board’s website.

Tracked changes of the amendments to the Guidelines are also available.
