15 Inappropriate inducements
(1) The circumstances exist if: (a) the VET provider either: (i) offered a person a benefit, or provided a person with a benefit; or (ii) caused a person to be offered or provided with a benefit; and (b) it is reasonably likely that this benefit induced the student to: (i) enrol in the unit or course; and (ii) make the request for Commonwealth assistance (or give the form referred to in paragraph 11(b)). (2) To avoid doubt, the person in paragraph (1)(a) who was offered, or provided with, the benefit need not have been the student. (3) Clause 39DD of Schedule 1A of the Act applies in relation to subsection (1) in a corresponding way to the way that clause applies in relation to subclauses 39DC(1) and (2) of that Schedule.
