Appendix 1
What can the
Review Panel do?
The Review Panel can remove or suspend an education provider
as a signatory to the Code, meaning that the provider would be
prevented from taking any international students. Only the IEAA
can refer complaints to the Review Panel.
A summary of the Code of
Practice for the Pastoral Care of
International Students
The Code sets standards for education providers to
ensure that:
high professional standards are maintained
the recruitment of international students is undertaken
in an ethical and responsible manner
information supplied to international students is
comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date
students are provided with information prior to entering
into any commitments
contractual dealings with international students are
conducted in an ethical and responsible manner
the particular needs of international students are
recognised
international students are in safe accommodation
all providers have fair and equitable internal procedures
for the resolution of international student grievances
Full details of what is covered can be found in the Code itself.
The Code also establishes the IEAA and the Review Panel to
receive and adjudicate on student complaints.
codeofpractice
For the Pastoral Care of International Students
Important information about the Code
codeofpractice
For the Pastoral Care of International Students
Important information about the Code
When students from other
countries come to study in
New Zealand, it is important
that those students are well
informed, safe, and properly
cared for.
New Zealand educational providers have an important
responsibility for international students’ welfare.
This pamphlet provides an overview of the “Code of Practice
for the Pastoral Care of International Students” (the Code), and
provides a procedure that students can follow if they have
concerns about their treatment by a New Zealand educational
provider or agent of a provider.
What is the Code?
The Code is a document that provides a framework for
service delivery by educational providers and their agents
to international students. The Code sets out the minimum
standards of advice and care that are expected of educational
providers with respect to international students. The Code
applies to pastoral care and provision of information only, and
not to academic standards.
Who does the Code apply to?
The Code applies to all education providers in New Zealand
with international students enrolled. The Code is mandatory to
these providers and must be signed by them.
What is an “international student”?
An “international student” is a foreign student studying in
New Zealand.
How can I get a copy of the Code?
You can download a copy of the Code from the NZQA website
at www.nzqa.govt.nz
How do I know if an education
provider has signed the Code?
NZQA maintains a register of all signatories to the Code. This
is available online from www.nzqa.govt.nz. If the education
provider that you are seeking to enrol with is not a signatory to
the Code you will not be able to study at that institution.
What if I have questions about
the Code?
NZQA is the Administrator of the Code. If you have any inquiries
about the Code, you can find out more information at
www.nzqa.govt.nz or email code.enquiries@nzqa.govt.nz.
What if something goes wrong?
If you have concerns about your treatment by your education
provider or by an agent of the provider, the first thing you must
do is contact the principal, the international student director,
or another person who has been identified to you as someone
that you can approach about complaints at your institution.
The Code requires all institutions to have fair and equitable
internal grievance procedures for students, and you need to
go through these internal processes before you can take the
complaint any further.
If your concerns are not resolved by the internal grievance
procedures, you can contact the International Education Appeal
Authority (IEAA).
What is the IEAA?
The IEAA is an independent body established to deal with
complaints from international students about pastoral care
aspects of advice and services received from their education
provider or the provider’s agents. The IEAA enforces the
standards in the Code of Practice.
How can I contact the IEAA?
You can write to the IEAA at:

-appeal-authority
What will the IEAA do?
The purpose of the IEAA is to adjudicate on complaints
from international students. The IEAA will investigate
complaints and determine if there has been a breach of
the Code. The IEAA has the power to impose sanctions on
education providers who have committed a breach of the
Code that is not a serious breach. These sanctions include
an order for restitution, publication of the breach, and/
or requiring that remedial action be undertaken.
The IEAA will refer complaints that are not about pastoral
care to another regulatory body if appropriate.
The education provider will be given a reasonable time
to remedy the breach. If the breach is not remedied
within that time, the IEAA may refer the complaint to the
International Education Review Panel (the Review Panel).
The IEAA can determine if it considers that a breach of the
Code is a serious breach. If the breach is a serious breach,
the IEAA will refer the complaint to the Review Panel.
