This document formally triggers the streamlining measures and other reforms contained in those Schedules.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n*   Australian universities, higher education providers, and students receiving Commonwealth support, as the commenced provisions alter administrative and funding arrangements for tertiary education.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is the legal mechanism that determines when Parliament's policy changes actually become operational law. It ensures the sector knows exactly when the new rules begin (New Year's Day 2013)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-amendment-streamlining-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
