The Government will introduce an annual Tuition Protection Service (TPS) Levy for all providers of education to international students from 1 January 2013. Revenue from the TPS Levy, expected to be $18.9 million over the forward estimates, will be paid into an Overseas Students Tuition Fund (OSTF) to support international students displaced by provider closure to either finish their training with an alternative provider or provide refunds where this is not possible. The OSTF will form part of the Government's new Tuition Protection Framework established in response to the review of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and will replace both the ESOS Assurance Fund and state based tuition assurance schemes.
