Losing approval cuts off the provider from taxpayer-funded tuition subsidies and student loan programs, effectively stopping them from enrolling students who rely on government financial assistance."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-conwal-and-associates-pty-ltd-vet-provider-approval-revocation-2017/documents"}}
