COVID-19 Recovery - Key Considerations for Providers
Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency
COVID-19 has led to unprecedented disruption and many providers have swiftly adapted their normal business operations in response to the challenges and changed environment. The focus of government and the sector has now shifted to the COVID-19 recovery period. The guidance in this report sets out key, high-level, principles-based considerations that providers should remain mindful of in their planning during the COVID-19 recovery period. It focuses on identified standards and risk areas pertinent in the COVID-19 and recovery period context, with an emphasis on obligations under the National Code of Practice for "Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (National Code)" and the "Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2015." Many providers have made a number of changes to their business operations in order to comply with government advice and protect the health of their students and staff. While the response to COVID-19 was sudden, such as moving swiftly to online delivery, the recovery transition period should be measured. The Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) has set out key considerations for providers that are pertinent during the recovery period, as temporary changes transition back to business-as-usual activities or form the basis for on-going changes to a provider's business model.
