TCSI for PIR Providers

Last updated 1 year ago

Overview

The Provider Information Request (PIR) is a request for information under Section 28 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act). This article outlines all of the packets and sub-packets that underpin the reporting requirements for the Provider Information Request (PIR) as at 2022.

All data is reported in data packets, as described in this document. Each packet comprises data elements. Detailed specifications for each data element are available from the .

PIR reporting from Paradigm will only be possible when the Paradigm provider record containing the Parent Reporting Provider field has been set with the value of the main TCSI reportable provider party Id. If this field has not been set, many of the PIR reports will fail to produce any data.

The main TCSI reportable provider record must also have a date set for the Effective From Date field, as an indicator of when the provider became active. The absence of a date in this field will also cause PIR reports to return no data.

Key Resources

The government maintains a comprehensive set of resources to support providers who are planning on transitioning to or are already reporting via TCSI PIR:

  • Contact TCSI Support via

What is a Unique Identifier (UID)?

Unique Identifier (UID) - these are used to support Business to Government (B2G) reporting via the TCSI API to identify and keep track of records. A single UID replaces the combination of identifying elements that were previously used in HEIMS reporting to uniquely identify a record. The presence of a UID is required in order for a record to be updated via TCSI reporting.
