Quality Assurance in Education
- Eight of the Australian universities are placed in the top 100 in the latest QS World University Rankings. Under Australian Law, universities must be accredited by regulators to ensure students’ rights are protected. For example, all higher education providers in Australia must complete a stringent accreditation process to ensure they deliver the highest standard of teaching and learning.
-
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)
- Through AQF the Australian government complements national regulatory and quality assurance arrangements for education and training and enables the alignment of the AQF with international qualifications frameworks. It was introduced in 1995 to support the national system of qualifications in Australia comprising higher education, vocational education, and schools. The framework enables the Australian government to accommodate the diversity of purposes of Australian education and training now and into the future.
-
Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT)
- QILT is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills, and Employment. QILT is a suite of government-endorsed surveys for higher education, which cover the student life cycle from commencement to employment. Current and former domestic and international students participate in the survey. This data is consistently used by the government to make quality improvements in higher education and it also provides students with reliable data to compare the performance of higher education institutes.
-
High-Ranking Universities
- As per the latest QS World University Rankings, seven Australian universities feature in the top 100 ranked universities in the world. They also rank high for the specific study area of interest, with at least three Australian universities in the top 50 worldwide across the study areas of Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Technologies, Natural Sciences, Life Sciences and Medicine and Social Sciences and Management.
-
Internationally Accredited Qualifications
- Australian qualifications are recognized by employers and leading educational institutions globally. The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 requires institutions in Australia that offer courses to international students to meet nationally consistent standards in education quality, facilities, and services. The Education Services for Overseas Students Legislation Amendment Act 2011 introduced a more thorough system for education providers to protect the rights of international students.

Over decades of research, Australian research teams – many working with international researchers – have developed Wi-Fi, penicillin, the cochlear implant, the black box flight recorder, and the Gardasil cervical cancer vaccine, among many others. Health, Medical, Agricultural, Environmental, and Social Sciences research is resulting in more effective government policies and efficient services for these areas of studies.
