This means students can borrow money from the federal government to pay for their vocational courses and only repay it later through the tax system once they earn above a certain threshold.\n\n**Who decided this**: Neil McAuslan, acting as a delegate (official representative) of the Minister for Education, signed this approval on 16 July 2009.\n\n**Why it matters**: Without this document, students at this specific college could not access government-subsidised loans to pay for their tuition. This is essentially a 'licence' that connects the college to federal student financial assistance schemes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-33-of-2009/documents"}}
