Australia’s National Information Centre under the UNESCO qualifications recognition conventions, including the Tokyo Convention, is the Australian Government Department of Education.
The department has a policy advising and information provision role in the recognition of overseas qualifications. It also provides a suite of information products and services to support organisations to make quality decisions in the assessment of overseas qualifications.
This includes support to Australian state and territory governments that provide assessment advice on the comparability of an individual’s overseas qualification for general employment purposes within their respective jurisdictions. In limited circumstances, the department assesses overseas qualifications to support individuals seeking general employment. It also responds to enquiries for individuals seeking information on how to obtain recognition of their overseas qualification(s) in Australia.
