Essentially, it stopped being able to offer subsidised higher education funded by the Commonwealth.\n\nThis is a straightforward administrative decision under the *Higher Education Support Act 2003*, which allows providers to voluntarily exit the system by requesting revocation of their approval."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-nature-care-/documents"}}
