International Student Under 18 Years of Age Agreement
Standard 5 of the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas
Students 2018 states:
Standard 5 clarifies the requirement that appropriate accommodation, support and general welfare
arrangements be in place for the period that the student will be under 18 years of age while in
Australia.
Where a parent or suitable relative has been nominated and who will be fully responsible for the
welfare arrangements of a student visa holder who is under the age of 18 years, Sero Institute must
hold evidence that clearly indicate this arrangement is in place.
Sero Institute must, if required, satisfy the Department of Home Affairs requirement that
appropriate welfare arrangements are in place for under 18 students before a visa is granted.
