New facility photography now available

We’ve recently uploaded new high-quality photography to the Agent Hub, showcasing some of Griffith University’s outstanding teaching and learning facilities. The latest images feature the Law Building, Law Moot Court, Virtual Pharmacy, ICT Cisco Labs and the ICT Big Data Lab.

These state-of-the-art spaces reflect the hands-on, industry-aligned learning environments available to Griffith students. We encourage you to share these images with students interested in studying law, pharmacy, ICT and related programs, to help bring the Griffith experience to life during counselling conversations.

Changes to agent commissions for onshore student transfers

Under the ESOS Framework, the Australian Government has introduced changes to the National Code of Practice that affect the payment of education agent commissions for onshore student transfers.

Under the updated National Code, education providers are no longer permitted to pay agent commissions for students who have already commenced study onshore and are transferring from another provider. This change is designed to protect students and strengthen sector integrity by removing incentives for unnecessary or non-genuine transfers.

To support a smooth transition, the new rules will not apply to students accepted for enrolment on or before 31 March 2026, even if they commence study after this date. Commissions linked to these accepted students may continue to be paid in line with existing agreements.

It’s important to note that:

• Students can still transfer providers in line with ESOS requirements

• Agents may continue to assist students with transfers, however no commission can be paid by the receiving provider

• Progression to further study or movement within an approved packaged course (as listed on the student’s visa CoE) is not considered a transfer, and commissions may still be payable in these cases

We encourage agents to familiarise themselves with these changes and factor them into counselling conversations with onshore students considering a provider transfer. Please download and review the Australian Government's factsheet for more information.

Griffith launches Bachelor of Quantum Electronic Engineering (Honours)

Griffith University is proud to introduce a ground-breaking new Bachelor of Quantum Electronic Engineering (Honours) beginning in 2026. Our program is the second degree of its kind in Australia and is well positioned to meet burgeoning demand in this emerging field.

This innovative four-year degree uniquely integrates core electronic engineering fundamentals with advanced quantum science, equipping students with specialised skills in quantum computing, quantum communications and sensing, and cutting-edge electronic systems. It’s designed for students passionate about physics, innovation and the technology shaping tomorrow.

What makes this offering especially compelling for prospective students is its alignment with world-leading research and real-world industry developments happening right here in Queensland.

Queensland at the heart of a quantum revolution

At the forefront of Griffith’s commitment to quantum technologies is the Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI) — a hub uniting expertise in quantum physics, nanotechnology, microfabrication and ultra-precise measurement systems. QUATRI consolidates decades of Griffith’s research excellence to support the next quantum era and to partner with global industry leaders.

Importantly, QUATRI is establishing strategic collaborations that bridge academia and industry, including projects with companies like PsiQuantum, a Silicon Valley-based quantum technology leader, which will be expanding its Asia-Pacific presence at Griffith’s Brisbane South campus.

A$1 billion quantum computing investment in Brisbane

Queensland is rapidly emerging as a global hub for quantum innovation, supported by almost $1 billion in funding toward the world’s first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer, to be built in Brisbane through a collaboration between the Australian and Queensland governments and PsiQuantum.

This next-generation machine is designed to overcome current limitations in quantum development and could transform industries through dramatically enhanced computing power.

For agents and prospective students alike, this context isn’t just exciting — it signals real career pathways. Students trained in quantum electronic engineering will be ideally placed to contribute to these pioneering research environments, high-skilled technical industries and emerging opportunities in quantum computing, sensing, communications and beyond.

Why this matters for students
✔ Be among the first in Australia to graduate with specialist quantum engineering expertise.
✔ Learn at an institution deeply embedded in leading quantum research and industry collaboration.
✔ Study in Queensland — a state rapidly becoming a global centre for quantum technology and innovation.

Bachelor of Medical Science 2027 intake

We’d like to share an important update regarding Griffith University’s Bachelor of Medical Science (1280) for the 2027 intake.

For this intake, an application deadline of 31 July 2026 will apply to international applicants. This update is now reflected in the Degree and Career Finder.

Introducing this deadline will support effective quota management, classroom diversity and equity across markets, while also providing students, particularly those applying from Korea, with adequate time to prepare and submit all required documentation. With this timeline in place, offers can be issued from August, aligning with application processes at many other Australian institutions.

We kindly ask that you share this update with your prospective students to ensure they can plan ahead accordingly. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact your regional marketing manager.

From curiosity to conservation: Diego’s journey into marine research

From the thousands of islands of the Philippines to the oyster reefs of Southeast Queensland, our latest Humans of Griffith feature spotlights Diego Gloria and his journey from international student to marine science researcher on Queensland's iconic Gold Coast.

Drawn to Australia for its unique natural environment, Diego chose Griffith for its hands-on learning and access to passionate, supportive academics. What started as a love for the ocean evolved into a purpose-driven career focused on marine conservation and supporting coastal communities.

Now working as a Research Assistant, Diego’s days range from training wildlife monitoring models to collecting field data in mangroves and oyster reefs. His story is a great reminder of how practical experience, mentorship and saying “yes” to opportunities can shape a meaningful career.
