This notice grants that approval to Brisbane North Institute of TAFE.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n*   **Students:** Anyone wanting to study at this TAFE can now apply for a government loan to pay their course fees rather than paying upfront.\n*   **The TAFE:** The institution can now offer these income-contingent loans to prospective students.\n\n**Why it matters:** Without this approval, students at this specific TAFE would have to pay all course fees themselves immediately. This approval makes vocational training financially accessible to people who cannot afford upfront costs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-4-of-2013/documents"}}
