Education Services for Overseas Students (Calculation of Refund) Instrument 2024

The Education Services for Overseas Students (Calculation of Refund) Instrument 2024 outlines the procedures for calculating refunds of unspent tuition fees under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act). This instrument provides clarity on the refund process in cases where education providers or students do not fulfil their obligations.

Key Details:

  • Provider Default: If an education provider fails to commence or complete a course, the instrument sets out how to calculate the refund based on the unspent portion of the tuition fees.
  • Student Default: In instances where a student defaults or withdraws without a compliant written agreement, the refund is calculated according to the prescribed method.
  • Visa Refusal: The guidelines specify the method for calculating refunds when a student’s visa application is refused, allowing providers to retain a minimal amount for administrative purposes.

This updated instrument replaces the 2014 version, ensuring that refund calculations are fair, transparent, and in line with current legislative requirements. It serves as a crucial guide for education providers, migration agents, and international students to ensure compliance with refund obligations in the Australian education sector.
