On 27 September 2023, TEQSA:

• granted, under section 21 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act), the application by Astra Group Australia Pty Ltd for registration in the category of Institute of Higher Education, for a period of five years until 27 September 2028.
• accredited, under section 49 of the TEQSA Act, the following course offered by Astra Group Australia Pty Ltd, for a period of five years until 27 September 2028:
  • Bachelor of Business

Main reasons for the decision

TEQSA made these decisions on the basis that it was satisfied that Astra Group Australia Pty Ltd (Astra) meets the Provider Registration Standards, and the course meet the Provider Course Accreditation Standards of the HES Framework. TEQSA decided that it was appropriate to register Astra for a period of five years until 27 September 2028, and to accredit Astra's Bachelor of Business course for the same period.

The five-year period of registration and accreditation is consistent with the basic principles of regulation and reflects risks associated with an applicant for initial registration intending to offer a higher education course but having no history in the provision of higher education.
