Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument formally approves Southbank Institute of Technology as a higher‑education provider under the Higher Education Support Act 2003. The approval was made by a ministerial delegate and notice is given to the provider; the instrument takes effect after the parliamentary disallowance period ends (see s16‑55 and Legislative Instruments Act s12(3)).

Effect: the institute becomes subject to HESA’s eligibility, funding and regulatory framework. The decision-maker is a delegate of the Minister; the government carries oversight costs and the institute gains new compliance obligations and access to HESA‑linked entitlements.
