What is TEQSA?
As a national regulatory body, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) registers higher education providers and monitors quality and standards, to ensure that students at all Australian higher education institutions receive quality education. It is governed by the TEQSA Act (2011) and currently registers and evaluates the performance of higher education providers in Australia against the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF) of 2021.
Murdoch University's provider registration with TEQSA covers operations in Australia, as well as in Singapore and Dubai. TEQSA maintains formal partnerships with the Committee for Private Education (CPE) in Singapore and Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in UAE and is a member of the Quality Beyond Borders Group (QBBG).

The governing body attends to governance functions and processes diligently and effectively, including:
