EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES NO. 201
OVERSEAS STUDENTS CHARGE REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
(Issued by the authority of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs)
Section 8 of the Overseas Students Charge Act 1979 (the Act) empowers the Governor-General to make regulations for the purposes of any provision of the Act.
Section 4A of the Act provides that regulations may be made to declare a specified course of study to be a declared course for the purposes of the Act and enables the introduction of charges for overseas students who attend accredited advanced education level courses which are funded by the Commonwealth and offered at educational institutions other than universities and colleges of advanced education.
A revised Schedule of declared courses, which was necessitated by changes in the names of certain courses and institutions, was inserted in the Overseas Students
Charge Regulations in December 1983. The Attorney-General’s Department advised, at that time, that it would be desirable at some future date to indicate as appropriate in the Schedule, the names by which courses and institutions were formerly known.
The amendments to the Schedule to the Overseas Students Charge Regulations insert the names by which certain educational institutions were formerly known, as described below, and effect two minor drafting amendments to the previous changes.
