The department would like to remind international students and their families and education agents to be alert to scams, particularly when paying tuition fees.
Follow the below steps to help prevent being scammed:
- double check the sender’s email address by clicking into the email address field. We only send emails from @education.vic.gov.au addresses, e.g. john.smith@education.vic.gov.au
- invoices are issued from the email address: isfinance@education.vic.gov.au
- only pay using the Westpac bank details provided in the invoice. We do not use any other bank account.
If you are asked to pay from a different email address or to a different bank account, please email international@education.vic.gov.au.
