Stage 2: TEQSA assesses the application
Once all required evidence is received, we begin our assessment. During the assessment, we look at the evidence to determine current and ongoing compliance with all requirements of the ESOS Act, the National Code and any other relevant legislation within the ESOS Framework.
If we identify any areas where your application is not compliant with legislative requirements, or is at risk of non-compliance, we will contact you. You will be given an opportunity to respond to our concerns and submit additional or revised evidence to demonstrate compliance, usually within 28 days.
Stage 3: TEQSA decides on the application
TEQSA may approve or reject your application for CRICOS renewal. In doing so, we will notify you, in writing, of our decision and the reasons for the decision.
If TEQSA approves the application, we may decide to approve a period of registration less than the maximum 7 years. TEQSA may also decide to impose conditions on registration to manage any risks that have not been fully addressed in your institution’s application.
If TEQSA decides to reject the application, or if you are dissatisfied with our decision, you may seek a review. Information on your options for seeking a review of TEQSA decisions is available on our website.
