A new tip-off line will be set up for people to dob in “dodgy” training providers exploiting international students studying in Australia.
The nation’s Vocational Education and Training regulator will get a $37.8 million boost under a federal government crackdown on unethical and illegal behaviour.
An integrity unit will be established within the Australian Skills Quality Authority and will be equipped with the latest technology and data-matching capability to find and stop providers doing the wrong thing.
The unit will work together with law enforcement agencies to conduct “intense” compliance checks on high-risk providers in a bid to improve protections for all students.
