The Australian Government wants to ensure that the rights of overseas students studying in Australia are protected. Australia has laws to promote quality education and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include:

1. The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000
2. The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Regulations 2001

3. The National Code of Practice 2007 – which provides national standards for the conduct of the registered providers and the registration of their courses
