This is a standard oversight mechanism that allows Parliament to block delegated decisions if it chooses.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis approval allows the university to deliver nationally recognised vocational training with federal support, giving students access to government-subsidised places or loan schemes for their vocational education."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009/documents"}}
