Australia publishes an official register: CRICOS, from the Department of Education. We read it daily, and where we have matched an institution to it the profile carries a mark.
4 listings in Australia. No account needed.
We list 4 polytechnics and universities of applied sciences in Australia. All of those with a city recorded are in Melbourne. Across all its institutions, the subjects we hold most data for are business and management, education and teaching, languages and literature, hospitality and tourism. Each profile names the public register it comes from and links to the institution's own website, which is where fees and admissions are confirmed.
