Who was consulted to change the National Code?
A Over a 12 month period DEEWR initiated roundtable discussions, held bilateral meetings with peak bodies representing education providers and students, invited public submissions and facilitated public information sessions. Draft sections of the National Code 2007 were issued for peak body comment and the wording of the Standards in the National Code Explanatory Guide was thoroughly canvassed with peak body representatives. Federal and state regulatory authorities and state and territory governments participated through the National Code Action Group. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) was closely involved and is implementing complementary legislative changes of the Migration Regulations 1994.
