This legislative instrument, the Overseas Students Notice Requirements Instrument 2026, updates the procedural requirements for educational institutions in Australia concerning the notification of student defaults. It specifies the details and format of notices that must be provided to the Department of Education, as authorised by the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000. The instrument repeals the previous specification from 2015, indicating a revision to existing notice requirements.

Educational institutions providing services to overseas students must review and comply with the new notice requirements outlined in this instrument. Failure to adhere to these updated notification procedures could lead to regulatory action or penalties under the Act. Compliance officers should ensure their internal processes for reporting student defaults are aligned with the specifications detailed in this instrument, which takes effect on March 23, 2026.
