Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Academies Australasia is Australia's longest-listed education group. Apart from having to meet the well-regarded and carefully supervised standards of the international education market, Academies Australasia's public-listed status means that its colleges must also comply with the strict financial and reporting regulations of the ASX.
