The decision is made by a ministerial delegate and includes a specific commencement rule tied to the statutory disallowance period.

The original approval was granted in 2007 and updated in 2013 to reflect company changes.\n\nIt matters because, without this approval, the academy could not offer courses that qualify for government-subsidised places or student loans, affecting both prospective students and the institution’s ability to participate in the higher‑education funding system."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-provider-approval-no-9-of-2007/documents"}}
