28 University of New England Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF)

The Australian Government’s SSVF is designed to make the process of applying for a Student visa sim- pler for genuine students. Under the SSVF, each edu- cation provider registered with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is allocated an immigration risk rating by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. This risk rating is based on the immigra- tion risk outcomes of the provider’s international students over a twelve month period. Likewise, an immigration risk rating is allocated to each country. The combination of these two risk ratings is used to guide the level of financial capacity and English language proficiency and related documentation that students will need to provide with their Student visa application.

ESOS Framework

International Students who are intending to study on-campus in Australia should be aware that Austra- lia’s laws promote quality education and consumer protection. These laws are known as the ESOS Frame- work and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code.
