Mutual Recognition of Higher Education Courses

Interstate non-university institutions intending to offer a course in Western Australia that is already accredited in their home jurisdiction can apply for accreditation in Western Australia on the basis of mutual recognition.  The mutual recognition process acknowledges the accreditation of the course and some aspects of the institution by the other jurisdiction.  The Minister will accept the accredited status in another jurisdiction as evidence that certain accreditation criteria are satisfied and will only need to evaluate authorisation criteria in relation to delivery of the course in Western Australia.

Applicants will still need to submit a complete application, including full documentation of the course and arrangements for its delivery, to the Higher Education Regulation Branch.
