Chapter 2Grants for higher education assistance etc.Division 8Introduction8‑1What this Chapter is about

This Chapter provides for who are higher education providers, and for 4 kinds of grants to be made.

Part 2‑1 sets out who are higher education providers (universities, self‑accrediting entities and non self‑accrediting entities), the quality and accountability requirements for higher education providers and how bodies cease to be higher education providers.

Note: Except in very limited cases, only higher education providers can get grants under this Chapter.

The 4 kinds of grants available under this Chapter are:

• grants under Part 2‑2 (Commonwealth Grant Scheme) to certain higher education providers. These grants are paid in relation to Commonwealth supported places. Grants are made subject to conditions; and

• grants under Part 2‑2A to Table A providers and Table B providers to assist Indigenous persons; and

• other grants under Part 2‑3 to higher education providers and other bodies corporate for a variety of purposes; and

• grants for Commonwealth scholarships to certain higher education providers under Part 2‑4.

The amount of a grant may be reduced, or an amount paid may be required to be repaid, if the recipient breaches a quality and accountability requirement or a condition of the grant (see Part 2‑5).

Note: A body’s approval as a higher education provider may be suspended or revoked for such a breach.

This Chapter also provides for the direct payment to students of certain Commonwealth scholarships under Part 2‑4.

Part 2‑1Higher education providersDivision 13Introduction13‑1What this Part is about

A body generally has to be approved as a higher education provider before it can receive grants, or its students can receive assistance, under this Act. Listed providers (universities and certain self‑accrediting entities) have that approval upon commencement of this Act. Table C providers have that approval from the time they are included in Table C. Bodies that do not have that automatic approval, or whose approval has been revoked, have to apply for approval.

Higher education providers are subject to the quality and accountability requirements.

A body’s approval as a higher education provider may be revoked in circumstances such as breach of a quality and accountability requirement.

13‑5The Higher Education Provider Guidelines

Higher education providers and the *quality and accountability requirements are also dealt with in the Higher Education Provider Guidelines. The provisions of this Part indicate when a particular matter is or may be dealt with in these Guidelines.

Note: The Higher Education Provider Guidelines are made by the Minister under section 238‑10.

  4. (4)

    If the Minister exempts a body under subsection (3), references in this Act, other than in this section, to a body corporate are taken to include the body.

  5. (5)

    An exemption given under this section is not a legislative instrument.
