SUMMARY:National Property Accreditation Scheme (NPAS)
DESCRIPTION:Mr Geoff Denison1\n1Student Accommodation Association, Adelaide, Australia\nThe National Property Accreditation Scheme (NPAS) is an industry-led program that is owned, governed, developed and administered by the Student Accommodation Association (SAA) to assist national education stakeholders to identify, promote and support quality managed student accommodation businesses that provide accommodation for the exclusive use of students.\nSAA brings education and student accommodation providers together to promote the value of accommodation provided for the exclusive use of students, to support and enhance their education experience in Australia.\nLaunched in October 2020, NPAS is a stamp of quality that will enable education providers to be more confident in promoting an endorsed accommodation message and by doing so assist international students to make an informed accommodation choice.\nAccommodation exploitation faced by international students has long been a concern for the Australian education industry and is largely a result of the risk adverse approach on behalf of education providers to develop an accommodation message and actively promote it, leaving students to research and secure accommodation from the “information universe”, being unregulated social media and online booking platforms.\nAccommodation providers who don’t meet the SAA membership criteria are not eligible for NPAS accreditation which serves to identify a clear distinction between providers of accommodation for the exclusive use of students over accommodation which happens to be occupied by students.\nWith this point of difference clearly defined, students will come to appreciate the difference in risk profile and expectations between student accommodation and other accommodation options, enabling them to prepare accordingly.\nIn the unlikely event that an NPAS accredited property fails to deliver on a student’s expectations the student and their education provider are able to raise concerns directly with the Student Accommodation Association.\nThe National Property Accreditation Scheme is a tool designed to further enhance the Australian international education offering. Education providers are encouraged to become a member of the Student Accommodation Association to improve their visibility of the NPAS property portfolio, form relationships with accredited providers and contribute to the continuous improvement of the program.\n\nBiography:\nGeoff Denison is the President of the Student Accommodation Association of Australia. He is also currently serving as Associate Director of Student Accommodation Services at The University of Adelaide.\nHis experience in the accommodation sector includes international hotel management and planning and delivery of large scale, purpose built student accommodation projects in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide).\nThe Student Accommodation Association Incorporated (SAA) is the representative body for quality student accommodation providers in Australia. SAA represents the interests of our members and has a profile of being a reputable body of engaged industry participants within the commercial, government and education sectors.\n
