Under the *Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011*, the Minister for Education can issue directions to TEQSA about how it should carry out its work.\n\n**What is happening here**\n\nThe Minister is revoking (cancelling) \"Ministerial Direction No. 1 of 2013\", which was originally issued on 20 June 2013. Once this revocation takes effect, TEQSA no longer has to follow that particular direction.\n\n**Note**: This notice doesn't specify what the old Direction required—it simply removes it from force. To understand what policy has changed, one would need to look up the text of the original 2013 Direction."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi","history":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tertiary-education-quality-and-standards-agency-act-2011-notice-of-revocation-of-ministerial-directi/documents"}}
