Indigenous Education (Targeted Assistance) Act 2000

This Act allows the Minister to make an agreement with an education provider or other person or body authorising the making of payments.

For an agreement with an education provider, the payments may be for recurrent expenditure of the provider in those years, for ABSTUDY approved courses run by the provider in those years or for particular projects.

For an agreement with another person or body, the payments may be for particular projects.

The payments under an agreement must be for advancing the objects of this Act.

The amount of the payments must be specified in the agreement or worked out in accordance with the agreement.

If there is a breach of a condition in an agreement, the Minister may require an amount to be repaid to the Commonwealth. If the amount is not repaid, other payments under the agreement may be reduced or the Commonwealth may recover an amount as a debt.
