This includes allowing students to access VET FEE-HELP loans to pay for their studies.\n\n**What actually happened:**\nThe Education Minister's delegate cancelled an earlier approval notice issued just two weeks before (on 12 June 2009) and replaced it with this new one. This is a technical 'substitution' — essentially correcting or updating the original paperwork while keeping Swinburne's approved status active."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-26-of-2009-june-2009/documents"}}
