The Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency's (TEQSA's) guidance notes are concise documents designed to provide high-level, principles-based guidance on interpretation and application of specific standards of the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021. They also draw attention to other interrelated standards and highlight potential risks to compliance. They do not introduce prescriptive obligations. The definitive instruments that set out providers' obligations in delivering higher education remain the Threshold Standards (as amended on advice from the Higher Education Standards Panel to the Minister for Education from time to time) and the TEQSA Act. In August 2023, TEQSA consulted stakeholders with a draft version of the Academic Monitoring, Review and Improvement guidance note, and considered all feedback. The purpose and intent of this guidance note is to encompass key elements of institutional quality assurance.
