The Australian Government response to the Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee report 'Education Services for Overseas Students Amendment (Quality and Integrity) Bill 2024 [Provisions]' (ESOS Bill) is now available.
Following the Senate Inquiry, the ESOS Bill lapsed on 28 March 2025 when Parliament was prorogued.
The Australian Government considered the report and on 9 October 2025, the Minister for Education, introduced an amended omnibus Bill, the Education Legislation Amendment (Integrity and Other Measures) Bill 2025 (ELA Bill). The ELA Bill featured many of the same measures as the ESOS Bill. The ELA Bill passed Parliament on 28 November and commenced on 4 December 2025, when it received Royal Assent.
