It removes Parapharm’s ability to offer Commonwealth‑supported places or let students access HELP and other government assistance.

This instrument narrows statutory scope by removing Parapharm Pty Ltd from the Act’s list of approved higher education providers and repealing the 2014 approval instrument (see s 5).
