The notice was posted by the Tuition Protection Service (TPS), which outlined that operations ceased as of May 1, with Worrells appointed as the liquidator.
“The Tuition Protection Service is in contact with Worrells to inform them of The Language Academy’s obligations to students and to determine how we can support The Language Academy and their students during this difficult time,” the notice read.
The Language Academy was founded in 2014, specialising in Intensive General English, Exam Preparation courses (IELTS, FCE, CAE), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Study Tours, High School Preparation, and Language Other Than English (LOTE): Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, German, Mandarin, and French. Its offerings attracted both international students aiming to master English and locals interested in global languages.
In 2019, the Language Academy received CRICOS accreditation and in 2021 moved to a larger campus in Broadbeach. In 2023, the campus was expanded to host 730 students across three timetables.
The school opened a new Sydney campus in 2024, coinciding with its 10th anniversary celebrations.
The news comes after another major Australian language provider – IH Sydney – was placed into liquidation earlier this year, after it entered voluntary administration.
The PIE has contacted The Language Academy regarding the liquidation and will update this article with any response.
