Higher Education Support Amendment (VET FEE-HELP Reform) Act 2015 (168 of 2015)

Schedule 1   VET FEE-HELP Reform amendments

Part 1   Main amendments

Higher Education Support Act 2003

8E   At the end of clause 37 of Schedule 1A

Add:

Suspension for poor performance - no impact on existing students

(6) A suspension of a body's approval as a *VET provider under subclause 36(5) is of no effect for purposes of or relating to assistance payable to the body's students under Part 2 to the extent that the assistance relates to students of the body who have not completed the *VET courses of study in which they were enrolled with the body before the day the suspension starts (see paragraph 36(6)(a)).

Note: One consequence of this subclause is that clauses 45E and 46B (which apply if the body's VET FEE-HELP account is in deficit at the end of a calendar year) will continue to apply to the body during the suspension.
