Students must complete the student application form and send the completed form to the institute together with certified copies of the following:

- Photocopy of passport- Highest education qualification and relevant academic document- IELTS certification or equivalent

Completed student application forms will be processed by the institute and the application assessed on the basis of the information supplied. The participants for each program offered by the institute will be selected in a manner that reflects access and equity principles. You may speak to our staff or visit our website for more details.

Baxter Institute does not enrol international students under the age of 18 years on a student visa.

PRE-TRAINING REVIEW All individuals interested in doing this course will undergo a PTR (Pre-training review) process to determine the suitability of the individuals' preferred course or qualification as per the institute's documented policies and procedures. This PTR process includes a PTQ (pre-training questionnaire), LLN (Language, Literacy, and Numeracy) assessment and PTI (pre-training interview). The PTR process helps determine if the course chosen by the individual learners would be the most suitable and appropriate for them by identifying their aspirations and interests, existing educational attainment and capabilities, competencies previously acquired Recognition Of Prior Learning (RPL), Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) or credit transfer, experiences and aptitude as well as determining ACSF core skills level (literacy and numeracy skills), and digital capability. Based on the outcomes of the PTR process, we can ascertain that the proposed learning strategies and materials are suitable for the individual learner. In addition, each student is provided with information about the most suitable training options. If any gaps in ACSF core skills, or specific learning needs or difficulties are identified, an individualised support program will be developed to assist them to complete the course. The PTR process outcomes and records maintained will inform Student Support Services to assist in the development of an appropriate training plan.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER (OSHC)Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover for the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefits organization – commonly referred to as a health fund before applying for your visa.

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection requires you to maintain OSHC cover for the duration of your time on a student visa in Australia. OSHC can be arranged through Baxter Institute upon request via BUPA (Bupa Australia Health Pty Ltd). Prior to making an application for BUPA’s OSHC, students must read the rules. Please visit their website for policy and procedures and further details: www.bupa.com.au.

DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTIONAccording to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, you must provide evidence that satisfies the assessment factors applicable to you to be granted a student visa. Assessment factors include your financial situation, English proficiency, likely compliance with the conditions of your visa and any other matters considered relevant to assessing your application. Students must notify the institute of changes of address, telephone number, email address and fax number within 7 days of the change, which is a requirement of visa conditions. Additional information on student visas are available from: www.border.gov.au

WORKING WHILE STUDYING IN AUSTRALIAImmigration laws allow students to work for a limited number of hours, currently 40 hours per fortnight during school terms. However, work is not easy to find and under no circumstances can students rely on income earned in Australia to pay tuition fees.

For visa enquiries please refer to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website (www.border.gov.au).

CREDIT TRANSFER AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. The credit transfer process involves:

» Mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the learning outcome, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of one qualification are equivalent to the learning outcomes, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualification.

» Making a judgement about the credit to be assigned between the matched components of the two qualifications.

Credit will be granted in accordance with the Credit Transfer procedure.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of

an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for RPL. The outcome will be determined in accordance with the institute’s RPL procedure.

To apply for credit transfer or RPL, students must complete the relevant application form and attach copies of certified documents to support the application. Please refer to the website for details or speak to our support staff for assistance.

ACCOMPANYING DEPENDANTSIf you come to Australia as an overseas student on a student visa, you should be aware that your school-aged dependants who accompany you will be required to be enrolled in either a government or non-government school. You are required to pay full fees for their education throughout the duration of their visas in Australia.

Please refer to website or speak to our support staff for assistance for more details in regards to complaints and appeal procedure.

SATISFACTORY COURSE PROGRESS

Baxter Institute has chosen to monitor international students of all vocational courses by course progress under Standard 10 of the National code 2017(except for ELICOS courses which will be monitored against attendance requirements in accordance with Standard 11). If a student does not have satisfactory academic progress, he or she will be reported to Department of Immigration and Border Protection via PRISMS which may lead to the cancellation of their student visa. For the institute, unsatisfactory progress is defined as not successfully completing or demonstrating competency in at least 50% of the course progress requirements of that study period as defined in the training plan.

A study period is a discrete period of time measured in weeks. The study period begins from the student’s actual commencement date. The course may contain one or more study periods. For courses of less than 24 weeks, the entire course will be a single study period. For longer courses there will be more than one study period. Different courses have study periods of different duration. All study periods within a course will be the same except for the final study period which may be shorter due to a course coming to an end, but it will still be considered as a full study period. The study periods of all courses are prominently listed in the enrolment form, letter of offer and student agreement so those students have full access to all necessary information regarding study periods prior to commencing their course.

Baxter Institute monitors international students for all study periods the student is enrolled in, including compulsory study periods and non-compulsory periods. A compulsory study period is one in which the student must enrol unless granted a deferral or suspension from enrolment or leave of absence under Standard 13 of the National Code 2017; an example of a non-compulsory period is a term break. Students who are in danger of being unable to complete a course within the expected duration of study as recorded on the CRICOS register can be considered “at risk” of not meeting satisfactory course progress requirements.

Students will be interviewed, counseled and placed on a course intervention strategy which may include, but is not limited to academic skills support, additional English support, additional tutoring, or placement in a more appropriate class to get back on the right track of having satisfactory academic progress requirements. The course intervention strategy may be activated at any time by the institute during the study period to support students if required. A warning letter can only be sent to a student “at risk” after that study period has ended. If a student is identified as not making satisfactory course progress in a second consecutive compulsory study period in a course, the institute must notify the student of its intention to report the student to Department of Immigration and Border Protection for unsatisfactory progress. The institute does this through the written notice of intention to report the student for unsatisfactory progress.

In the notice Baxter Institute must inform the student that he or she is able to access the registered provider’s complaints and appeals

process under Standard 10 and that the student has 20 working days plus 2 days for postal handling from the date of issue in which to do so.

Where the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals processes within the 22 working day period, the student withdraws from the process, or the process is completed and results in a decision supporting the institute (i.e. the student’s appeal was unsuccessful) the institute must notify the Secretary of DIBP through PRISMS as soon as practicable of the student not achieving satisfactory course progress.

If the student’s appeal is successful or there are compassionate or compelling reasons for the lack of progress, ongoing support must be provided to the student through the institute’s intervention strategy, and the institute will not report the student.

Please visit: www.internationaleducation.gov.au

DEFERRING, SUSPENDING OR CANCELLING THE STUDENT’S ENROLMENTStudents may initiate a request to defer commencement of studies or suspend their studies on the grounds of compassionate or compelling circumstances. Students wishing to defer the commencement of studies or suspend their studies must apply to do so in writing to the institute by completing Deferral or Suspension form AD106 and submitting supporting documents. The institute may decide to suspend or cancel a student’s enrolment by its own initiative as a response to misbehaviour or poor academic results of the student. Deferral of commencement, suspension of enrolment and cancellation of enrolment have to be reported to Department of Australian Border Force via PRISMS and may affect the status of a student visa.

THE ESOS FRAMEWORK - PROVIDING QUALITY EDUCATION AND PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS.The Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality of service and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2017.

PROTECTION FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTSAs an overseas student on a student visa, you must study with an education provider and in a course that can be found on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) at http://CRICOS.deewr.gov.au. CRICOS registration guarantees that the


IMPORTANT INFORMATIONcourse and the education provider at which you study meet the high standards necessary for overseas students.
