Agent Code of Ethics

AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Introduction

Australia is committed to ensuring the highest standard of service and care is delivered across its international education and training sector and has a comprehensive international education and training quality framework to support this aim. The Agent Code of Ethics (ACE) is a critical component of this framework and provides a guide to the expected professional behaviour of individual agents and agencies working with Australian international students, parents, providers and fellow agents across the sector. The ACE builds on the London Statement’s ethical framework and provides a set of Australian specific ‘Standards’ for Australia’s education agents. The ACE also aims to support Australia’s education and training providers to meet their obligations under the National Code.

Purpose
The Agent Code of Ethics aims to:
• Outline the principles and expectations of fair and ethical conduct of Australia’s offshore and onshore education agents
• Foster best practice among education agents to assist them to provide quality services to potential and existing international students and partner providers
• Provide assurances on the quality and standard of services provided by education agents recruiting into Australia
• Build on Australia’s globally recognised international education and training quality systems to further enhance the reputation of Australia’s education system.
