It grants **Institute of Counselling Incorporated** the legal status of a \"higher education provider\" in Australia.\n\n**What this means:**\n*   The organisation can now offer regulated higher education courses (such as diplomas and degrees).\n*   It becomes eligible for Commonwealth government funding and support programmes, including student loans (HELP).\n*   Students enrolled there can access federal financial assistance.\n\n**When it takes effect:**\nThe approval becomes active the day after the period expires during which either House of Parliament could have voted to block (disallow) the decision. This is a standard parliamentary oversight mechanism for ministerial decisions.\n\nThis is a routine administrative instrument (the third such approval issued in 2007) adding this counselling institute to Australia’s regulated higher education sector."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-3-of-2007/documents"}}
