Understanding the ANU Education Agent Authorisation Form

Understanding the ANU Education Agent Authorisation Form

The Australian National University (ANU) provides prospective and current applicants the option to nominate, change, or de-authorise an education agent to act on their behalf for admission-related matters. This process is facilitated through the Education Agent Authorisation Form, an essential document designed to streamline the communication and support provided to international applicants through registered ANU education agencies.

Purpose of the Form

This form enables applicants to:

• Authorise a registered education agent to act on their behalf if they have not already done so during the application.

• Change the education agent currently authorised, by nominating a new one.

• Withdraw authorisation from a current education agent without appointing a new one.

It is important to note that if your application was submitted by an agent, you do not need to complete this form unless you wish to change or remove the agent's authority.
