History

The Nepalese Association of Australia Education Representatives (NAAER) was established in 2007 with a mission to uphold the integrity, transparency, and credibility of Nepalese education agents representing Australian higher education and training institutions. NAAER was founded through the joint initiative of several like-minded education consultancies in Nepal and the Australian Government Department of Education, previously known as AEI (Australian Education International), marking the beginning of a unified approach to ethical student recruitment for Australia.
