Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The policy underwent a scheduled review in April 2026. The current administrative amendment was requested by Prof Louise King following an ASQA enquiry regarding the International TAFE Packages webpage. The webpage states that an IELTS score of 5.5 is required for admission to CDU, but does not distinguish this from the English language requirements for a student visa. The amendment provides for this differentiation between visa- and CDU admission requirements.
