The move highlights ongoing challenges in protecting students from exploitation
Australia has intensified its crackdown on fraudulent education agents following multiple complaints from Indian students about misleading practices. Authorities are investigating cases where students were provided incorrect visa guidance or enrolled in substandard institutions.
The government is introducing stricter regulations, including mandatory agent verification and penalties for non-compliance. Indian students are being advised to rely on official channels and verify credentials before engaging with agents.
Education experts say the crackdown is essential to maintaining the integrity of Australia’s international education sector.
