Our Organisation<\/h2>

Student Exchange Australia New Zealand<\/a> Ltd is incorporated in Australia as a not-for-profit company and is registered with the New Zealand Companies office. We are registered as a secondary exchange organisation with Departments of Education around Australia and with the Ministry of Education in New Zealand. Long established relationships with our international partners ensure the highest standards of care and support to participants. We maintain a network of volunteer Local Coordinators who work in support of students and families during the exchange experience.
Child Safety & Quality Management<\/a> is our priority.

Our Mission is to offer the unique experience of living, studying and working in <\/strong>
another culture and to enable young people to develop the skills and awareness <\/strong>
that will enhance their future potential. <\/strong>

Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is committed to supporting students to express their cultural rights. Whether from Australia or overseas, Student Exchange Australia New Zealand supports students to express their culture and enjoy their cultural rights while respecting and enjoying their host community\u2019s culture. We promote the empowerment, participation and rights of children.

Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is committed to helping exchange students learn about Indigenous culture and history. We act on this commitment by ensuring that our staff, volunteers, students and host families participate in inductions or orientations which contain content that is inclusive and sensitive to Indigenous culture and history. We commit to the cultural safety of our Indigenous people and work together with our participants and overseas partners to confront and eliminate racism.

By undertaking the above, we aim to promote cultural rights and safety of Indigenous children so that their unique identities and experience are respected and valued. We value all our participants and host families and, as per our Mission, we provide opportunities to enhance their future potential.
Moreover, Student Exchange Australia New Zealand works to facilitate that our participants, their families, host families and our staff and volunteers are representative of the diverse nature of the societies in which we operate. We promote equity and respect diversity and strive to ensure that our policies and procedures do not exclude anyone who is otherwise eligible to participate on our programs.

Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is proud to be part of the Educatius Group. <\/strong>
