Department of Immigration and CitizenshipAccording to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) you must provide evidence that satisfies the assessment factors applicable to you to be granted a student visa. Assessment factors include your financial situation, English proficiency, likely compliance with the conditions of your visa and any other matters considered relevant to assessing your application. Students must notify the institute of changes of address, telephone number, email address and fax number within 7 days of the change, which is a requirement of visa conditions. Additional information on student visas is available from: www.immi.gov.au

Pathway to higher educationBaxter Institute has articulation agreements with many institutions such as Holmes Institute, NMIT, Stott’s College and Kaplan Business School, to allow students who have completed diploma courses to advance their study to a Bachelor program. Students who follow these pathways may be eligible for up to one year credit towards their bachelor course. This translates as a reduction in the duration of study and hence a significant saving on the overall cost of the degree, it’s that simple.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. The credit transfer process involves:

• Mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the learning outcome, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of one qualification are equivalent to the learning outcomes, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualification.

• Making a judgment about the credit to be assigned between the matched components of the two qualifications.

Credit will be granted in accordance with the Credit Transfer procedure.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for RPL. The outcome will be determined in accordance with the Institute’s RPL procedure.

To apply for credit transfer or RPL, students must complete the relevant application form and attach copies of certified documents to support the application. Please refer to the website for details or speak to our support staff for assistance.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover for the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefits organization – commonly referred to as a health fund before applying for your visa. You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to cover you from the time you arrive. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship requires you to maintain OSHC for the duration of your time on a student visa in Australia. OSHC can be arranged through Baxter Institute upon request via BUPA. Prior to making an application for BUPA’s OSHC, students must read the rules. Please visit their website for policy and procedures and further details: http://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/cover/oshc.

Student recruitment, selection and enrolment processApplications for admission for international students must be made using the student application form. You may contact the admissions department for application processing at [email protected] (application form can be downloaded from www.baxter.vic.edu.au). Students must complete the student application form and send the completed form to the Institute together with certified copies of the following:

• Photocopy of passport

• Highest education qualification and relevant academic documents

• IELTS or equivalent for Assessment Level 3 and 4 countries.

For assessment level 1 and 2 countries, a foundation skills test may be required to determine English proficiency. Students required to complete the foundation skills test will do so at orientation. (For further information on Assessment Level, please visit: www.immi.gov.au)

Completed student application forms will be processed by the Institute and the application assessed on the basis of the information supplied. The participants for each program offered by the Institute will be selected in a manner that reflects access and equity principles. You may speak to our staff or visit our website for more details.

Reasons to study in MelbourneMelbourne is the capital city of Victoria. It is located by the Yarra River and surrounds Port Phillip Bay with its beautiful beaches and water sporting facilities. It is a beautiful city with many attractive parks, gardens, sporting venues and scenic surroundings. Melbourne is a world- renowned cultural, artistic, financial and communications centre served by an international airport, a cargo and passenger seaport, and rail links to neighbouring states. Melbourne is often voted the world’s ‘most livable city’ and offers clean fresh air and an abundance of amazing parks and gardens.

Melbourne is considered to be the shopping capital of Australia and offers some of Australia’s biggest shopping complexes as well as sophisticated, exclusive boutiques and a host of lively and popular markets. Melbourne has a population of over 4 million people, one quarter of which were born overseas making it one of the world’s most multicultural cities.

There are people from 140 nations living harmoniously together. This broad ethnic mix has brought many benefits to the city including a wide range of cuisines and over 2,300 elegant restaurants, bistros and cafes.

Sometimes called the culinary capital of Australia, Melbourne has a vast array of restaurants, offering a variety of international cuisine. Bustling Chinatown in the heart of the city, serves up the finest of Asian cuisine and culture. Several other Melbourne streets are dedicated to Vietnamese, Italian and Greek food - cuisine to suit every palate and many to suit a student’s budget.

Melbourne has an effecient public transport system with trams, trains and buses providing an extensive network throughout the city and suburbs. Melbourne is a sprawling city with suburbs extending up to 50km from the centre of the city. The city centre is on the banks of the Yarra River, 5km from Port Phillip Bay. The city centre features world class department stores, historical architecture, theatres, galleries and arts centres. Melbourne is only a short distance from many beautiful beaches as well as the Victorian mountain regions which are extremely popular for skiing in winter.

ClimateMelbourne enjoys a temperate climate with four distinct seasons in the year – summer, autumn, winter and spring. Temperatures range from 40˚C in summer to as low as 5˚C in the winter. Sports and other outdoor activities are possible at all times of the year. Melbourne boasts one of the biggest covered sporting areas in the world.

LanguageIn Australia not only is there the opportunity to improve your English through specialist study in an English-speaking environment but all sectors of Australian education and training provide tuition in many other languages as well. English as it is spoken in Australia is easily understood by all other English-speaking nations. While there are some minor differences in accent between the cities and country areas the difference is much less than you will find in America, Britain and Canada. As you improve your English in Australia you will learn some of our slang, and have a lot of fun explaining the meanings to your friends and relatives at home.

Clean, safe, cosmopolitanStudents from all over the world come to Melbourne to take advantage of our world-class education and enjoy our friendly hospitality and cultural diversity. Melbourne has low crime rates and strict gun control laws providing a safe environment in which to learn and travel.

Cost of LivingIn addition to paying the full cost of their courses, full-fee students must meet all their own travel and living expenses, plus administrative charges made by the institution. A single person studying in Melbourne will need about $18,610 each year in addition to the tuition fees. This amount also depends on the type of accommodation a student chooses.

Pre-Training ReviewInterview & Foundation Skills Test

The Pre-Training review is applicable to all applicants to ensure students are enrolled in the most appropriate qualification, and to maximize their opportunity of successfully completing their designated training course. It is a meeting between the institute and the student prior to course commencement, which allows the student’s current skills and abilities to be considered, and informs the development of an individual learning/training plan. The pre-training review will assist in determining the appropriate training and assessment options and support strategies necessary for the student in order to successfully complete their qualification whilst addressing any special needs. As a part of the review, the student is expected to complete a foundation skills test. The Foundation Skills test at Baxter has been designed to measure student ability against the five core skills (learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy) of the ACSF (Australian Core Skills Framework) which is the preferred framework to measure current ability and identify necessary gap training; the test also measures digital literacy. The test results reflect the student’s core skills profile against the ACSF so that assessors can interpret the result to place the student.

Education of accompanying dependants

If you come to Australia as an overseas student on a student visa, you should be aware that your school-aged dependants who accompany you will be required to be enrolled in either a government or non-government school. You are required to pay full fees for their education throughout the duration of their visas in Australia.

Student OrientationOrientation is conducted on the first day of commencement. Its purpose is to inform new students of most of the aspects of life at Baxter Institute and provide an introduction to studying, Melbourne’s cost of living, transportation, facilities and accommodation. Relevant policies and procedures are addressed during orientation and students are further advised to view our website for latest updates. New students will have a chance to ask any questions they may have during the orientation. In addition, Baxter Institute staff will be introduced and a tour of the facilities will take place.

Student code of behaviourThe code of behaviour is designed to give every student a clear view of what they can expect from Baxter Institute and other students so that all members of our community can benefit from a collaborative supportive environment. In this environment students can then benefit from the training, teaching and support that Baxter Institute provides.

The Institute has a Complaints and Appeals procedure to provide students with a fair and equitable process for resolving any disputes or complaints they may have.

There are consequences for non-compliance with the Student code of Behaviour including immediate suspension in the case of severe breaches, and/or behaviour that may be construed as threatening to the safety of the student, other students or any person on the Baxter Institute premises.

The Student Code of Behaviour requires the following rights and expectations to be respected and adhered to at all times:

• The right to be treated with respect from others, to be treated fairly and without discrimintation regardless of religion, racial and cultural differences, sexual preference, age, disability and socio-economic status

• The right to be free from all forms of intimidation

• The right to study in a safe, clean, orderly and cooperative environment

• The right to have personal property (including computer files and student work) and the Registered Training Organisation property protected from damage or other misuse

• The right to have any disputes settled in a fair and rational manner (this is accomplished by the Complaints and Appeals Procedure)

• The right to work and learn in a supportive environment without interference from others

• The right to express and share ideas and to ask questions

• The right to be treated with politeness and courteously at all times

• The expectation that students will not engage in cheating or plagiarism

• The expectation that students will submit work when required

• The expectation that students will be punctual for classes

• The expectation that students will treat institute staff, trainers and fellow students with respect and without discrimination

• The expectation that students will maintain consistent attendance by attending all required classes and assessments. The minimum required level of attendance is 70% of scheduled sessions (English students minimum required attendance is 80%). Attendance will be reviewed at the end of each study period. This requirement is a student behaviour requirement and not a requirement under standard 11 of the National Code.

• The expectation that all fees will be paid by the due date

Course assessment and Course deliveryA number of approaches to course assessments are used by Institute staff. Assessment approaches may include: observation of performance in class, workshops or practical tests, case studies, projects, assignments, presentations, role plays, written tests and exams, work experience or work placement. A number of approaches to course delivery are used by Institute staff. Course delivery approaches may include teacher led classroom delivery, workshops, seminars, tutorials, supervised study and computer aided learning. During class time students will be expected to participate by, for example, answering questions, giving opinions, demonstrating tasks, working with others in groups, making presentations and role playing situations.

Satisfactory progressAt Baxter Institute we have chosen to monitor our International students based on Academic Progress Requirements under Standard 10 of the National Code. If a student does not have satisfactory academic progress, he or she will be reported to DIAC via PRISMS which may lead to the cancellation of the student visa. For the Institute, unsatisfactory academic performance is defined as being assessed as “Not Yet Competent” for more than 50% of units of competency/modules/blocks in a study period. When not all units are weighted equally, Baxter Institute has chosen training delivery hours to determine the percentage of study.

A study period is a discrete period of time measured in weeks. The study period begins from the student’s actual commencement date. The course may contain one or more study periods. For courses of less than 15 weeks, the entire course will be a single study period. For longer course there will be more than one study period. Different courses have study periods of different duration.

All study periods within a course will be the same except for the final study period which may be shorter due to a course coming to an end, but it will still be considered as a full study period. The study periods of all courses are prominently listed in the enrolment form, letter of offer and student agreement so those students have full access to all necessary information regarding study periods prior to enrolment.

Baxter Institute monitors international students for all study periods that students are enrolled for, including compulsory study periods and non-compulsory periods. A compulsory study period is one in which the student must enrol unless granted a deferment or suspension from enrolment or leave of absence under standard 13 of the National Code; an example of a non-compulsory period is a term break. Students who are in danger of being unable to complete a course within the expected duration of study as recorded on the CRICOS register can be considered “at risk” of not meeting satisfactory course progress requirements.

Students will be interviewed, counseled and will be placed on a course intervention strategy which may include, but is not limited to academic skills support, additional English support, additional tutoring, placement in a more appropriate class to get back on the right track of having satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.

The course intervention strategy may be activated at any time by the Institute during the study period to support students if required. A warning letter can only be sent to a Student “at risk” after that study period has ended. If a student is identified as not making satisfactory course progress in a second consecutive compulsory study period in a course, the Institute must notify the student of its intention to report the student to DIAC for unsatisfactory progress.

The Institute does this through the written notice of intention to report the student for unsatisfactory progress. In the notice Baxter must inform the student that he or she is able to access the registered provider’s complaints and appeals process under Standard 8 and that the student has 20 working days in which to do so. Where the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals processes within the 20 working day period, the student withdraws from the process, or the process is completed and results in a decision supporting the Institute (i.e. the student’s appeal was unsuccessful) the Institute must notify the Secretary of DEEWR through PRISMS as soon as practicable of the student not achieving satisfactory course progress.

If the student’s Appeal is successful or there are compassionate or compelling reasons for the lack of progress, ongoing support must be provided to the student through the Institute’s intervention strategy, and the Institute will not report the student.

Please visit: https://www.aei.gov.au/Regulatory-Information/Education-Services-for-Overseas-Students-ESOS-Legislative-Framework/National-Code/nationalcodepartd/Documents/DEEWR-DIAC%20Course%20Progress%20Policy.pdf to view DEEWR – DIAC Course Progress Policy and Procedures for CRICOS Providers of VET Courses.

Deferring, suspending or cancelling the student’s enrolmentStudents may initiate a request to defer commencement of studies or suspend their studies on the grounds of compassionate or compelling circumstances. Students wishing to defer the commencement of studies or suspend their studies must apply to do so in writing to the Institute by completing the form and

submitting supporting documents. The Institute may decide to suspend or cancel a student’s enrolment by its own initiative as a response to misbehaviour or poor academic results of the student. Deferral of commencement, suspension of enrolment and cancellation of enrolment have to be reported to DIAC via PRISMS and may affect the status of a student visa.

The ESOS Framework - Providing quality education and protecting your rightsThe Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality of service and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2007.

Please visit https://aei.gov.au/Regulatory-Information/Education-Services-for-Overseas-Students-ESOS-Legislative-Framework/ESOSQuickInformation/Documents/ESOS%20Factsheets/Other%20Factsheets/The%20ESOS%20framework.pdf for details.

Protection for overseas studentsAs an overseas student on a student visa, you must study with an education provider and in a course that can be found on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) at http://CRICOS.dest.gov.au. CRICOS registration guarantees that the course and the education provider at which you study meet the high standards necessary for overseas students. Recent changes to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act have further strengthened protections for international students through the introduction of the Tuition Protection Service (TPS).
