Australian Education International (AEI), as part of the Department of Education, Science and Training, works to build government to government relationships and participate in international forums to negotiate Australia's education and science interests. We also promote Australia’s education, science and training capabilities.
We develop memorandums of understanding and facilitate dialogue on the issues of education, science and training with governments around the world. We also manage Australia’s education interests in major international and regional strategic fora.
Our international staff work to enhance Australia’s profile with international gatekeepers and prospective international students, and report on relevant market information for all sectors. This network also provides consultancy services that give organisations access to our knowledge, facilities, contacts and experience in key markets around the world.
In Australia, we organise events to inform the industry of the latest intelligence on international education, science and training, and provide opportunities for networking and discussion on issues important to the industry. We also arrange events to promote Australian education, science and training internationally.
Our online presence offers access to a range of market information products that are otherwise difficult to obtain, including frequent updates on the latest market developments and opportunities in key markets as well as research reports and statistics.
We administer national legislation to assure quality of education to overseas students studying in Australia through the Education Services for Overseas Students Act
We provide assessment services, information and advice on the recognition of educational and professional qualifications and skills from around the world through AEI-NOOSR (formerly the National Office for Overseas Skills Recognition).
