Without this approval, students wouldn't be eligible for that funding.\n\n**How it works**\n\nThe approval is made under the *Higher Education Support Act 2003* by a senior public servant acting on behalf of the Minister for Education. The approval takes effect after a waiting period during which Parliament could have objected (called a \"disallowance period\"), ensuring parliamentary oversight of these decisions.\n\n**Key details**\n- **Approved provider**: Harvest Bible College Inc\n- **Approval date**: 20 January 2009\n- **Legal basis**: Schedule 1A of the Higher Education Support Act 2003"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-2-of-2009/documents"}}
