Summary
Amends the
Higher Education Support Act 2003
and
VET Student Loans Act 2016
to: phase out the Commonwealth's obligation to pay VET FEE-HELP (VFH) to VET providers in respect of old student data, and prevent those providers from pursuing students for the amounts the Commonwealth does not pay; enable the Commonwealth to set off debts owed by providers to the Commonwealth under the VFH scheme against amounts of FEE-HELP assistance or VET student loans payable to the provider; and revoke the approval of remaining VET providers, while providing for the continuing operation of the
Higher Education Support Act 2003
and relevant legislative instruments to enable the Commonwealth to deal with and resolve outstanding matters under the VFH scheme.
