1/10 complexity

This instrument formally approves ParaPharm Pty Ltd as a Higher Education Provider under the Higher Education Support Act 2003, enabling it to offer university‑level degrees while accessing Commonwealth teaching subsidies and allowing its students to use FEE‑HELP loans. It also places ParaPharm under national regulator oversight and quality/accountability requirements.

The approval lets a private company compete with traditional universities for students and public funding—expanding choice but increasing the need for robust regulatory monitoring.
