Leaders Institute is fully accredited with the national higher education regulator, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), to whom we report regularly. So, our standards are equivalent to those of any other duly authorised higher education provider in the nation.

Many of you will be making multiple transitions. You will be moving away from home, moving to a new country, coming to terms with a new culture, making the transition from school or vocational education to higher education and grappling with the English language as spoken by Australians. Each one of those changes is challenging. To face all simultaneously is a mark of great courage and preparedness to invest in your future. We honour you for that.

Leaders Institute offers opportunities for connection with other students and staff. Apart from outstanding academic staff whom you will meet regularly at class and online, we have specialists who can help with a range of issues including study skills, English language, academic writing, and personal challenges such as homesickness and stress associated with assimilating into a new culture.

International students who have not completed an Australian qualification must have appropriate education qualifications, deemed equivalent under NOOSR guidelines. Applicants who do not meet the requirements for admission may be considered for admission to micro-credentials or single units.

International students must hold a valid student visa and meet numerous conditions of the Australian government. For example, a holder of a student visa may not work, paid or unpaid, for more than 48 hours in any fortnight during semester time. Where Work Integrated Learning is integrated into a course, it does not count towards the 48 hours.

Students enrolling from non-English speaking countries are required to undertake an English language test and demonstrate English proficiency.
