Eligibility requirements

To provide courses for overseas students, your organisation will need to be listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). CRICOS registration is a two stage process:

  • The first stage is that the provider and the courses to be delivered are approved by the Board.
  • The second stage is undertaken by the Australian Government. It is at this stage that providers and courses are registered by being listed on the CRICOS website.
