What is the role of AEI, Austrade, DIAC and the Australian Government?
Supporting agents by providing training and professional development has been a high priority for AEI, as this is an important component of the quality assurance of Australia’s international education industry. AEI, part of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), has been working on this support for many years across many different avenues, and continues to provide expertise and support to develop the EATC with IES. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC, formerly DIMA) also consults on this project with AEI, as representatives of the Australian Government. As of 1 July 2010, Austrade took over several roles of AEI, including: • Provide information and tailored research about Education Agents to Australian education providers. • Advise education agents seeking to represent Australian education providers, including referral advice to education agent training programs.For more information, please visit the Austrade website.
