Second Reading Speech
Mrs Andrews (Assistant Minister for Vocational Education and Skills)I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
As outlined in the second reading speech for the VET Student Loans Bill 2016, the VET Student Loans (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2016 is part of a package of bills implementing new vocational education student loan arrangements. Its measures include effectively ending the VET FEE-HELP scheme, establishing transition arrangements for current VET FEE-HELP students and currently approved VET FEE-HELP providers, and consequential amendments to the Higher Education Support Act 2003, the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 and the Student Identifiers Act 2014.
I commend the bill.
Debate adjourned.
