Australia’s cultural climate

Australia is internationally recognized as a secure and comfortable place to live with a similar cost of living to the US. In 2004, the cities of Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney all rated in the top 10 of the Most Livable Cities in the World, according to the annual international poll conducted by the respected Economist Intelligence Unit. Australians are friendly and open, and they welcome people from all cultures.

The Australian way of life is safe and easy-going, and it has not been significantly affected by international events of the past few years.

Australia is also a very diverse country – from its spectacular natural environment of deserts and snowy mountains to its cultural mix of people from all over the world. The country has one of the most harmonious societies in the world with a vibrant profile in the arts, education, politics, sport, and entertainment..

The last census showed that Australia’s citizens came from more than 170 different countries around the globe, making it one of most multicultural societies on the planet. A visit to any Australian campus will show a diversity of student population – not only in ethnic background, but in the beliefs of ordinary Australians. Even small country towns have internationally-influenced restaurants and multicultural celebrations.

Australian Higher Education System

Australia's higher education system offers valuable opportunities for North American students looking for an academic and personal challenge in an English-speaking school system that is compatible with their own. North American students are invited to enroll in full undergraduate and graduate degree programs,as well as short term, semester and year long study abroad programs.


The Australian higher education system is highly regarded and internationally recognized. University entry is competitive and academic standards are high. All universities are accredited by the Australian Government, to ensure a standard commitment to the provision of quality higher education. 37 of the 39 universities are public institutions and are government-funded.

Quality Assurance


International students in Australia and their parents enjoy a level of service and financial protection that is unrivalled. Australia is firmly committed to providing quality education and training and offers strong assurances to international students.


Australia takes its responsibility towards international students seriously to the extent that the regulations for providing education services to these students are set in federal government legislation. Institutions must be registered with the Australian Government and meet special registration conditions enabling them to deliver courses to international students in Australia.

Both public and private institutions must meet high standards of quality and ethical practice which take into account such issues as curriculum, qualifications of teaching staff and facilities, including specialist equipment.

Australia’s national quality assurance system is unique in both its structure and its rigor. The system combines government regulation and industry self-regulation. Each sector has its own comprehensive quality assurance mechanisms. For example, the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) and the Australian Quality Training Framework 2007 (AQTF 2007) have been set up by the Government to strengthen the quality assurance processes in education and training in Australia.

Where an Australian university offers programs at an offshore campus or with an international partner, the institution is expected to maintain standards equivalent to those provided in Australia.

The Australian Qualifications Framework

The AQF links fifteen school, vocational and university education awards into one national system. Depending on a student's existing education level and qualifications, they can seek admission into a course anywhere in Australia.
If a student is studying an AQF qualification, the institution will be government authorised, the course will be nationally accredited and the qualification will be delivered and issued according to national guidelines.
