3 The VET Guidelines
*VET providers and the *VET quality and accountability requirements are also dealt with in the *VET Guidelines. The provisions of this Part indicate when a particular matter is or may be dealt with in these Guidelines.
Division 3—What is a VET provider?
Subdivision 3‑A—General
4 Meaning of VET provider
A VET provider is a body that is approved under this Division.
5 When a body becomes or ceases to be a VET provider
(1) A body becomes a *VET provider if approved by the Minister under clause 6.
(2) A *VET provider ceases to be a provider if the provider’s approval is revoked or suspended under Division 5 or the notice of the provider’s approval ceases to have effect under Part 2 of Chapter 3 (parliamentary scrutiny of legislative instruments) of the Legislation Act 2003.
Note: As part of the phasing out of VET FEE‑HELP assistance, VET provider approvals are revoked by clause 29 of this Schedule. However, provisions of this Act, the VET Guidelines and conditions on the approvals, may continue to apply to a body that had been approved as a VET provider: see subclauses 29(2) to (4).
