Strict Welfare & CAAW Compliance

Australia enforces strict minor student protection regulations. If a student is under 18 years of age, the school must issue a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) before the department issues a student visa, verifying that homestays or boarding houses satisfy highest standards. AEC coordinates all approvals seamlessly.
