What is the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)?

The AQF is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training. It incorporates qualifications from each education and training sector into a single comprehensive national framework. Griffin College delivers qualifications aligned with the AQF, ensuring your qualification is recognised across Australia and internationally.

What is the ESOS Framework and how does it protect me?

The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Framework protects international students and ensures that registered providers deliver quality education. Key protections include tuition fee safeguards, refund rights, access to complaints and appeals processes, and the Tuition Protection Service (TPS) which protects your fees if your provider defaults.

What are the accommodation options for international students in Brisbane?

Popular options include homestay ($250-350/week), purpose-built student accommodation ($300-450/week), shared rental ($200-350/week), and private rental ($400-600/week). We recommend starting your search 4-6 weeks before arrival and using trusted platforms like Flatmates.com.au, realestate.com.au, and student-specific portals.
