IH Sydney Training Services Pty Ltd [02623G], trading as International House Sydney, entered voluntary administration on Monday 2 December 2024. PKF Melbourne has been appointed as the administrator.
International House Sydney ceased operating on Monday 9 December 2024. PKF Melbourne is now working to meet International House Sydney’s obligations by placing students in an alternative course with another Australian education provider or refunding students’ unspent tuition fees. The TPS Director has agreed to a request from PKF Melbourne to extend the provider obligation period to Monday 20 January 2025 to allow further time to assist such a large number of students.
The TPS is in regular contact with International House Sydney and PKF Melbourne to inform them of their obligations to students. The TPS will be closely monitoring their progress.
