  • What CRICOS registration means

    What CRICOS registration means
    12 Sep 2026
    Episode one. CRICOS is the Australian government register of the institutions and courses allowed to enrol international students — and if a course is not on it, that course cannot support a student visa. Why the course code matters more than the provider code, why an accredited course can still be closed to you, what the ESOS framework obliges a provider to tell you, what happens to your tuition if a college collapses, and the four-step check that takes about five minutes and that almost nobody does before they pay.

    General information drawn from published Australian government material. Not migration advice. For your own case, speak to a registered migration agent.
