The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is an Australian Government initiative that supports international students on student visas and eligible domestic students whose education providers are unable to fully deliver their course of study. The TPS ensures that eligible students either continue their studies with a different provider or have the unused portion of the tuition fee reimbursed or re-credited to their loan balance.

Australia has an excellent reputation for quality education. However, sometimes an education provider may close altogether, fail to start a course that students are enrolled in or stop offering it part-way through. Closing, failing to start, or stopping a course part way through is called a default.

If your education provider defaults, the TPS may be able to help you. If your education provider has recently closed, please check our closures and defaults listings for specific information about the next steps you need to take.
