Specifically, it covers how these students can enrol in and attend the university.\n\n**Key points:**\n*   **What it does:** Authorises the Council to make specific rules about enrolment and attendance for students with serious health conditions\n*   **Important limitation:** Any rules must align with the *Disability Discrimination Act 1992* (the federal law that prevents discrimination based on disability)\n*   **Flexibility:** The statute doesn't define what counts as a \"serious health condition\" — instead, it lets the Council define this in the separate rules they create\n\nIn short, this is an enabling law that lets the university set up its own medical leave or special accommodation policies, provided those policies don't discriminate against people with disabilities."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007","history":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/medical-leave-statute-2007/documents"}}
