Without it, students studying at this particular institute would not be able to access government-subsidised loans to cover their course costs. The approval took effect automatically the day after it was registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments (now the Federal Register of Legislation)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-35-of-2013/documents"}}
