Australia has a national regulatory and quality agency for higher education - Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). Its purpose is to monitor quality and regulate university and non-university higher education providers against a set of standard developed by the independent Higher Education Standards Panel. TEQSA was established by the Australian Government.
