Abstract

Australia has a robust system of quality assurance in higher education. There is a national regulator, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), that oversees quality assurance in Australian higher education, through registering higher education providers under a number of categories and accrediting courses delivered by institutions that do not have self-accrediting authority. This agency is established under an Act of the Australian Parliament. As well as having a regulatory responsibility TEQSA also provides a great deal of information to providers of higher education as well as informing the public, students and prospective students about the higher education system in Australia. Higher education providers are expected to have good quality assurance arrangements within each registered institution. The intention of the quality assurance systems in place is to enhance and protect Australia's reputation for excellence, diversity and innovation in higher education.
