Agent Categories

The Agents listed on this site are the duly appointed representatives of UNE's International Marketing and Pathways unit. Most Agents represent all CRICOS registered courses offered by UNE and UNE's Language training Centre. In some cases Agents represent Distance Education and Non Award courses as well.

Agents or representatives who purport to represent UNE and the Language Training Centre but are not listed on this site may not be authorised as UNE representatives. For further clarification email imp@une.edu.au

Primary Agent

A Primary agent is a key representative of the University and is appointed for an initial term of three years.

IM&P supports the marketing and recruitment activities of a 'Primary' agent through participation in:

  • High profile student exhibitions and interview programs in an advertised venue
  • Student interviews in the agent's office
  • Briefings from Faculty and/or course experts
  • Advertising in conjunction with the agent.

All agents are initially appointed as Primary agents and as part of the performance management process, a Primary agent may be converted to a Referral agent.

Referral Agent

A Referral agent is one who will refer students to UNE from time to time. UNE does not necessarily agree to advertise jointly with the agent or to conduct major country interview programs or to participate in exhibitions with the agent.

A Referral agent is appointed for a term of two years.

IM&P supports the marketing and recruitment activities of a Referral agent by:

  • visits to the agent's office
  • conducting interview programs for prospective students in the agent's office.

Referral agents may be converted to a Primary agent based on performance.

Educational Advisor

Educational Advisors may include:

  • UNE alumni members
  • Educational institutions or organisations
  • Professional Associations
  • Persons of high respect and community standing.

Educational Advisors do not operate full-time recruitment business but may provide specific recruitment services and/or recruit students through their networks or contacts.

Educational Advisors may be appointed for a term of up to three years.
