Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This regulation defines who qualifies as a 'full fee paying private overseas secondary student' under Australian school funding laws. It applies to international high school students who meet three criteria:

Enrollment: They must be attending a secondary school in Australia;
Visa status: They must hold a valid temporary entry permit (a type of visa) under the Migration Act 1958; and
Full fee payment: They (or their guardian) must pay fees that cover the full cost of their education at that school—meaning they don't receive tuition discounts or subsidies.

This classification is important because it determines whether a school receives government grants for that student. Essentially, it ensures that wealthy international students paying commercial fees don't attract the same public funding as Australian residents or scholarship holders.
