ESOS Language Compliance
ESOS language compliance refers to the requirements outlined in the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act of 2000 in Australia that relate to the use of English language in the delivery of education services to international students. The ESOS Act requires that all education providers registered to provide courses to international students must ensure that their courses are delivered in a way that ensures students have the appropriate level of English proficiency to be able to succeed in their studies.
Education providers must establish and maintain policies and procedures to identify students who may require additional English language support and provide appropriate assistance. Education providers must also assess the English language proficiency of students before enrolling them, and ensure that any English language tests or assessments used are valid and reliable.
In addition, education providers must provide accurate and timely information to students regarding the English language proficiency requirements for the courses they offer, including any additional support that may be available to help students improve their language skills. The ESOS Act also requires education providers to report any concerns or issues related to English language proficiency to the relevant authorities, such as the Department of Home Affairs. Compliance with these requirements is essential for ensuring that international students are able to effectively participate in and benefit from their studies in Australia.

Intervention
A student intervention is a proactive approach to identify and address academic, social, or behavioural concerns that may be impacting a student's performance or well-being. The goal of a student intervention is to provide targeted support and resources to help the student overcome obstacles and achieve success in school. An intervention may involve a collaborative effort between teachers, counsellors, parents, and other relevant parties to create an individualized plan to address specific needs or challenges of the student. Examples of student interventions may include academic tutoring, counselling, mentoring, or behavioural support. Interventions can be initiated in response to observable issues or as a preventative measure to support students who may be at risk of struggling.
This icon allows you to manage student interventions based on the relevant education provider policies and procedures.

A student scholarship is a financial award given to a student to help pay for their education. Scholarships are typically awarded based on academic merit, athletic achievement, financial need, or other criteria established by the scholarship provider. Scholarships can be awarded by a variety of organizations, such as education providers, private foundations, corporations, or government agencies. They may cover some or all of the costs of tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. Scholarships do not have to be repaid, making them an attractive source of funding for students who are looking to reduce the financial burden of their education.
