It has not expanded beyond this narrow, technical purpose."},"complexity_factors":["Extremely short instrument (under 200 words)","No defined terms section","No cross-references to other legislation beyond a single citation of the empowering Act","Simple, unconditional operative clause with a straightforward commencement provision","No exceptions, schedules, or conditional logic"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a short legal instrument made under the **Australian Film, Television and Radio School Act 1973**. It authorises the School to award two specific qualifications:\n\n- **Master of Arts Screen: Business** (a postgraduate master's degree)\n- **Graduate Diploma Screen: Business** (a shorter postgraduate qualification)\n\n**Who made it:** Russel Howcroft, acting on behalf of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS).\n\n**Why it matters:** Under the Act, AFTRS can only award degrees, diplomas and certificates that have been officially \"determined\" (approved and listed) in this way. This instrument adds two new business-focused screen qualifications to the School's approved list, expanding what students can formally graduate with. It ensures these qualifications are legally recognised and the School has the power to confer them."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The Determination does not change the broader statutory scheme in the instrument itself: it simply specifies two named qualifications for the purposes of paragraph 5(1)(g) of the Act (source: opening paragraph). It does not add conditions, funding arrangements, accreditation rules, or wider regulatory obligations, and so does not expand or narrow the Act beyond listing these awards. Any change in operational scope (for example, course delivery or market effects) would arise from AFTRS actions or other regulatory steps outside this Determination; the instrument itself remains narrowly confined to specification and the stated effective-date rule (source: operative paragraph)."},"complexity_factors":["Very short instrument with only two operative items (the two named qualifications).","Relies on external statute references (section 6A and paragraph 5(1)(g) of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School Act 1973) for legal authority and full effect.","No procedural detail, funding, accreditation or eligibility rules included—residual complexity depends on interpreting the referenced Act rather than this instrument.","Requires registration with the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments to take effect (a single procedural compliance step).","Decision is taken by a named official on behalf of the institution, indicating delegated statutory discretion without internal criteria recorded in the instrument."],"plain_english_summary":"This Determination, signed by the Chair of AFTRS, formally specifies two qualifications — Master of Arts Screen: Business and Graduate Diploma Screen: Business — under section 6A/paragraph 5(1)(g) of the AFTRS Act. It takes effect the day after registration on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments. It creates a statutory record affecting AFTRS and people who may enrol or be awarded these credentials but does not set fees, content, accreditation or delivery rules."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2","history":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2/history","analysis":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/determination-of-degrees-diplomas-and-certificates-no-2020-2/documents"}}
