We have opened our 2027 review program early so independent schools scheduled for review have more time to prepare.
We have already notified all schools due for review or re-registration on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) next year.
This means there is more time to gather and submit the evidence you’ll need to demonstrate compliance.
We will also hold 2 online information sessions this year to support schools who are part of the 2027 program. These information sessions will provide practical guidance and support. There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
Please only register to attend if you have been notified your school is scheduled for review or re-registration in 2027.
