It grants **Mertise Pty Ltd** formal approval to operate as a **VET provider** (Vocational Education and Training provider).\n\n**What this means:**\n- Mertise Pty Ltd is now authorised to deliver vocational education and training courses under the Commonwealth's higher education support framework\n- The approval is made under **Schedule 1A** of HESA, which governs access to government-funded student loan schemes (such as VET FEE-HELP)\n- **Jennifer Taylor**, acting as a delegate of the Minister, made this decision on 15 December 2010 under the specific powers set out in clauses 6 and 11 of Schedule 1A\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis approval allows the company to offer vocational courses where students can access government loans to pay their tuition fees (rather than paying upfront). Without this approval, the provider could not access these funding arrangements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-24-of-2010/documents"}}
