To be Listed (or re-Listed) on AusLIST providers must meet all of the following criteria for the sector in which they are seeking listing:

be approved to operate as an Australian education and/or training provider.

deliver education and/or training both in Australia and offshore.

have no known persistent and/or significant non-compliance with nationally agreed standards outstanding at the time of application for Listing or re-Listing; and have no adverse findings against them by an external review body that is relevant to the provider’s ability to deliver quality education and training.

The provider will not be able to be listed on AusLIST unless all the above criteria are met.

Courses

To be Listed on AusLIST, a course must:

be an AQF qualification which the provider is approved to deliver (higher education) or which is within the provider’s scope of registration (VET); or
be an English Language Training (ELT) course (however, pending the finalisation of nationally agreed ELICOS standards, AusLIST will only list ELT courses where the Australian provider is either registered on CRICOS, or is an Australian Registered Training Organisation, an Australian University or an Australian School); and
be delivered in a manner consistent with the relevant agreed national standards; and
be available for enrolment at the time of listing; and
include a compulsory face-to-face component (which does not include invigilated examinations, but includes work placements if they form part of the accredited course) outside of Australia.

Where a provider delivers part of an AQF qualification offshore, with the remainder of the qualification delivered in Australia, the full AQF qualification will be listed on AusLIST, with an indication that the qualification is only partially delivered offshore.

In applying for the inclusion of a course on AusLIST, the provider will need to indicate if the qualification is fully or partially delivered offshore at the locations where it is listed.

The following courses are not eligible for Listing on AusLIST:

non-award courses, other than non-award ELT courses.
courses delivered by Australian approved providers leading to international qualifications (such as the International Baccalaureate).

Further information for Australian Providers of Foundation Courses

Providers delivering foundation courses offshore will be eligible for Listing once the agreed national standards for foundation courses and arrangements for their verification have been finalised.
