HeadStart Academy is an independent information resource for international students researching study in Australia. We are not a CRICOS-registered education provider, we are not a recruitment or education agent, and we are not a registered migration agent.
All course fees, durations, provider details, delivery locations and registration status shown on this site are sourced from the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) as at 1 April 2026. CRICOS data is updated by the Australian Department of Education, and provider details can change at any time. Always verify the current status of any provider or course at cricos.teqsa.gov.au before paying any fees or accepting an offer.
Tuition fees, living-cost estimates and any other monetary figures on this site are indicative only. Fees are set by individual institutions and can change without notice. Living-cost figures are general guidance based on student-cost surveys and Department of Home Affairs published figures. Your actual costs will vary by city, accommodation, lifestyle and exchange rate.
Visa-related content on HeadStart Academy is general information, not migration advice. Visa rules, financial-capacity thresholds, English-language requirements and the Genuine Student / GTE framework can change at any time. For visa-specific decisions, always consult a registered MARA migration agent (mara.gov.au) or the Department of Home Affairs (homeaffairs.gov.au).
HeadStart Academy earns no commission and receives no referral fees from any institution. Providers and courses are listed in alphabetical or data-driven order and are not ranked, sponsored or endorsed by HeadStart Academy. The presence of a provider on this site is not a recommendation.
Some long-form guides, comparisons and city/state descriptions on this site are drafted with the assistance of large language models and then reviewed for accuracy against the underlying CRICOS dataset. Despite our best efforts, occasional inaccuracies may occur. If you spot an error, please email hello@headstartacademy.com.au and we will correct it.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HeadStart Academy excludes all liability for loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from decisions you make based on information published here.
