The provider is approved by the Australian Government before it can receive grants or its students, under study abroad programs or study abroad scholarship programs, can receive assistance from the Australian Government .
A higher education provider is either a university, self-accrediting provider, or non self-accrediting provider. The non-self-accrediting higher education providers form a very diverse group of specialised, mainly private, providers that range in size and include theological colleges and other providers that offer courses for study abroad programs in areas such as business, information technology, natural therapies, hospitality, health, law and accounting.
