Introducing Provider Information Request (PIR)
The Provider Information Request (PIR) is a request for information under Section 28 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act). The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) uses this information to minimise the reporting burden on providers associated with regulatory processes, such as renewal of registration.
As a Higher Education Provider you are required to report on both Student and Staff data. Before you begin, learn about:
- the Department involved in the reporting process for PIR
- Understanding your PIR requirements
- How to report TEQSA Provider Information Request to TCSI
