Subsection 16-50(1) of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (‘the HESA’) provides that the Minister must decide an application for approval as a higher education provider, and must cause the applicant to be notified in writing regarding whether or not the applicant is approved as a higher education provider.

This instrument will not have a direct or substantial indirect effect on business, nor will it restrict competition.
