Before a vocational college can offer government-subsidised loans to students, the Minister (or their delegate) must formally approve them under Schedule 1A of the Act. This notice is the official 'green light' that meets that legal requirement, ensuring the provider meets standards for educational and financial management."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-59-of-2013/documents"}}
