57E Education—minimum-age admissions
(1) Section 18 does not make it unlawful to discriminate against a person
on the ground of age in relation to the admission of the person to an
educational institution if the level of education or training sought is
provided only for students older than a particular age.
(2) Section 18 does not make it unlawful to fail to accept an application
for admission as a student at an educational institution under a mature
age admission scheme, if the application is made by a person whose
age is below the minimum age fixed under that scheme for admission.
