What Is CRICOS?
The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is maintained by the Australian Government’s Department of Education.
Registration Requirement
Education institutions can only enrol and deliver education services to students in Australia on a student visa if they are registered on CRICOS. Any provider intending to offer education or training services to students must apply for registration to the ESOS agency for their education sector.
Application Process
To offer services to overseas students, a provider must apply for CRICOS registration through the relevant ESOS agency. This applies to all providers in the education sector.
