About Us

The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA), a statutory authority, is responsible for the registration of education and training providers in:

  • Vocational Education and Training (VET)  - who deliver accredited training to domestic students in Victoria only or Victoria and Western Australia only
  • School education -  including any English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) and Foundation Program courses delivered by schools
  • Senior secondary education - both school and non school providers including any English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) and Foundation Program courses delivered by schools
  • Homeschooling
  • Overseas Secondary Student Exchange Organisations

The State Register can be viewed online and comprises all education and training organisations registered by the VRQA and the accredited courses they deliver.

The VRQA also assists students and parents to make informed choices about education and training providers, qualifications and investigates complaints against providers registered in Victoria by the VRQA.

The VRQA does not regulate providers in Victoria who deliver:

  • to international students (other than schools)
  • VET courses in another Australian State or Territory (other than Victoria and Western Australia), including online or by distance education
  • ELICOS and Foundation Studies courses (other than courses delivered by schools).
