Higher Education Support Act 2003

A higher education provider is a transitioning Table A provider for a year (the reference year) if:

the provider is a *Table A provider; and

in relation to the following years, the *number of Commonwealth supported places provided by the provider in *higher education courses exceeded the provider’s *default deemed allocation:

if the reference year is 2027—the reference year;

if the reference year is 2028 or a later year—each year from 2027 to the reference year (inclusive).

A *transitioning Table A provider’s verified commencing places for a year is the *number of Commonwealth supported places provided by the provider during the year in *higher education courses in respect of *commencing students for those courses.

A *transitioning Table A provider’s transitional commencing places limit for a year is the number of Commonwealth supported places specified in a determination under subsection (4) in relation to the provider and the year.

The *ATEC may, in writing, make a determination for the purposes of subsection (3) specifying a whole number of Commonwealth supported places in relation to a specified *transitioning Table A provider and a specified year.

A determination under subsection (4) is not a legislative instrument.
