Australia separates education into primary, secondary and tertiary levels under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) — international students can enrol at any of these three levels.
Primary Education

Secondary Education
Building curricular and extra-curricular skills, preparing students for further study.
Tertiary Education

Higher education in Australia is accredited and regulated by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).
