EDUCATION SERVICES FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS ACT 2000 - SECT 45

Guide to this Part

  This Part sets out what happens when a registered provider or an overseas student or intending overseas student defaults (that is, when a provider fails to start or finish providing a course to a student, or a student fails to start or finish a course with a provider).

  Division   2 sets out the obligation on registered providers to provide refunds to students. In the case of a provider default, a registered provider may instead provide alternative courses for the students at the provider's expense.

  If a provider defaults and fails to discharge its obligations to a student under Division   2, then, under Division   3, the TPS Director must provide the student with options for suitable alternative courses (if any such courses are available).

  Under Division   4, payments can be made out of the Overseas Students Tuition Fund to refund students, and to reimburse providers who provide students with alternative courses, when a provider has failed to discharge its obligations. (This is called making a call on the OSTF.)
