International students studying in Australia are now better protected under the government's Tuition Protection Service (TPS), according to the Minister for Tertiary Education, Chris Evans.
 
He said that the TPS would reform the sector by providing increased protection and ensuring international students continue to view Australia as a great place to study.
 
The new director of the TPS is Vipan Mahajan who has a long career in the Australian Public Service, most recently in senior management in international education in the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education.
