About CRICOS Finder

CRICOS Finder is an independent search platform designed to help international students explore CRICOS-registered education providers, courses, and study locations across Australia.

The website organizes publicly available CRICOS data into structured and easy-to-navigate pages, allowing users to quickly search courses, compare education providers, and explore study opportunities in different Australian cities.

What is CRICOS?

CRICOS stands for the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.

It is the official Australian government register that lists education providers and courses approved to deliver education programs to international students studying on an Australian student visa.

Only institutions and courses listed in the CRICOS register are authorised to enrol overseas students in Australia.

Purpose of CRICOS Finder

The official CRICOS register contains a large amount of information about courses, institutions, and campus locations. However, the official database can be difficult to explore for users who are simply trying to compare study options.

CRICOS Finder was created to simplify access to this information by organizing CRICOS data into clear and searchable pages.

Users can browse:

  • CRICOS-registered education providers
  • courses approved for international students
  • study areas and academic fields
  • Australian cities where courses are delivered

This structure helps users quickly navigate the available education options.
