Overseas Student Program

The Australian Government operates an Overseas Student Program (OSP) that enables people who are not a New Zealand citizen, an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident to apply for a student visa and study in Australia.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is responsible for making decisions on student visa applications and administering the Student Visa Program and other immigration-related legislation.

The provision of education to international students is regulated by the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) through the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) legislative framework. DEST has made available a brief overview of the ESOS Framework, including the rights and responsibilities of international students.

MEGT Institute responsibilities

The ESOS legislative framework protects the interests of international students by providing consistent standards for the conduct of education providers. These standards set out specifications in relation to staff capability, educational resources and facilities and marketing of courses and placement of students.

MEGT Institute has a fee policy for international students that explain the calculation and payment of tuition fees and the arrangements relating to refunds.

There is a range of student support services available to assist you with adjusting to study and life in Australia. Our staff are also able to provide advice on and assistance with academic matters. If you have concerns, complaints or grievances about matters relating to your experience at MEGT Institute, you can access the Student Grievances Policy.

MEGT Institute is also required to monitor and inform the DEST and DIAC of changes in enrolment and breaches of visa conditions in relation to academic progress. Information provided by students may be made available to Commonwealth and State agencies as required by the ESOS Act and related legislation.
