Tuition Protection Service

The Australian Government provides a tuition protection service which protects any fees paid by international students to make sure they do not suffer any loss if their education provider is not able to deliver the education which has been paid for. Under the ESOS legislative framework students will be compensated either monetarily or through substitute services to make sure they do not suffer any loss.
