EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES NO. 378
OVERSEAS STUDENTS CHARGE REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
ISSUED BY AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION
Section 8 of the Overseas Students Charge Act 1979 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for matters necessary or convenient to be prescribed and to provide for reductions in the amount of the charge imposed by the Act.
Decisions made by the government in the 1986/87 Budget were implemented by amendments made to the Principal Act by the Overseas Students Charge Amendment Act 1986. These amendments to the Principal Act which include the transfer to the Act of provisions previously in the regulations, have made it necessary to appropriately amend the regulations to reflect and reference these changes. Amendments to correct anomalies and to remove redundant provisions have also been made.
Regulation 1 provides for the new amendments to come into operation on 22 December 1986.
Regulation 2 deals with citation.
Regulation 3 repeals regulation 3A of the Principal Regulations as these charge provisions for a student who changes a course of study or defers are now included in sub-sections (4A) and (5) of the Act as amended by the Overseas Students Charge Amendment Act 1986.
Regulation 4 repeals the existing Schedule of Declared Courses and substitutes a revised Schedule. Part I of the Schedule lists full-time courses and Part II lists courses which involve part-time study. A copy of the Schedule is attached.
