Refund policy

Visa application rejected

If your visa application is rejected by the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), you can get a refund of the prepaid tuition according to the calculation rules of the Overseas Student Education Service Act (ESOSAct). It is worth noting that once the Department of Immigration and Citizenship refuses to issue visas to students, the written agreement signed between students and educational institutions will be invalid regardless of the reasons for the refusal. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship will issue a rejection notice to the applicant. When applying for a refund, a copy of this notice must be sent to the educational institution. According to the Education Service Law for Overseas Students, educational institutions can withhold part of tuition fees to pay administrative expenses. This means that educational institutions must provide refunds in accordance with the law and must not refuse to bear all or part of the responsibilities under the pretext of a certain clause in the written agreement.

Other cases

According to different situations, if a student changes his or her willingness to attend an institution (student's breach of contract) or an educational institution fails to provide the courses that the student has planned to study and pay the tuition fees (educational institution's breach of contract), he or she may have the right to request the refund of the relevant tuition fees. Student's breach of contract-this refers to the failure of the student to fulfill the relevant arrangements because he/she dropped out of class before or after the agreed start date, or did not attend the course at the beginning of the course, and did not formally drop out of class before the start of the course. Educational institutions break the contract-this usually means that educational institutions are closed for unforeseen reasons, or relevant courses are cancelled by government authorities.
