Information about fees and unit costs
Australian education institutions operate in an increasingly regulated and litigious environment. Knowledge of relevant legislation and case law is important for education administrators as integral to risk management. Lawyers retained by education institutions may be required to advise on issues arising out of the obligations owed by an institution to its staff and students involving diverse areas of the law: contract, tort, statutory rights and duties. Education rights and responsibilities in similarly situated jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand do not always correlate with the rights and responsibilities operational in Australia and differences in approach illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of the Australian system.
