AUSTUDY REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) 1996 NO. 246

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Statutory Rules 1996 No. 246

Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Employment. Education, Training and Youth Affairs

Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973

AUSTUDY Regulations (Amendment)

The Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973 (the Act) provides the legislative authority for the AUSTUDY scheme. Section 56 of the Act provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of the Act.

Most of the amendments proposed by these regulations were made by Statutory Rules 1995 No. 393 (SR 393) which was gazetted on 12 December 1995. SR 393 was disallowed by resolution of the Senate on 10 September 1996. The Senate subsequently rescinded its 10 September resolution on 9 October 1996 thus enabling regulations the same in substance as those disallowed to be remade. (Subsections 48(1) and (4) and section 49 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 provide the legislative basis for these matters).

The regulations remake the regulations in SR 393, with the exception of regulation 9, which repealed regulation 64 (the AUSTUDY "Dependent Spouse Allowance" (DSA)). As a result of the disallowance of SR 393, regulation 64 was revived (in accordance with subsection 48(7) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901) in its 1995 (i.e. pre-SR 393) form. The amendments to regulation 64 to bring it up to date are explained below.

The regulations implement AUSTUDY policies outlined below. In addition, a number of clarifications and minor editorial corrections to the regulations are made.

Drought relief concessions

AUSTUDY parental and spouse income tests are not applied to families while they are receiving payments under the Drought Relief Payments (DRP) Scheme (i.e. while an area is an "exceptional circumstances drought affected area" and for a six month recovery period thereafter). The AUSTUDY assets test is not applied to farm assets for families living in "exceptional circumstances drought affected areas". The regulations ensure that..

*       the parental and spouse income tests do not apply until the end of the year in which the family ceases getting DRP; and

*       the assets test is not applied to farm assets until the end of the year in which the drought recovery period ends. (regulations 4 and 16 and subregulation 14.2)

"At home" independent rate

These regulations introduced a new "at-home" independent rate of living allowance (annual maximum amount of $5,665). The new rate is less than the maximum independent rate for students aged 22 to 24 who do not live with their parents (annual amount of $6,691). The rate applies to students who are eligible for the independent rate of AUSTUDY only because of their age (i.e. they are at least 22 years of age in 1996) and who normally Eve with their parents. The new rate does not apply.

*       in respect of a course - to students who got the independent rate before 1 January 1996 because of their age, until the end of the course; and

*       to students who are eligible to get the special rate of living allowance which is payable to single people aged 21 and over who transfer to AUSTUDY from certain Department of Social Security payments. (subregulations 7.2 and 7.4)

"Dependent Spouse Allowance"

As a result of the disallowance of SR 393, these regulations update the AUSTUDY "Dependent Spouse Allowance" (DSA) to the 1996 position in the following ways:

*       the maximum DSA is raised from $7,035 to $7,352 a year,

*       a student whose spouse is getting the benefit Parenting Allowance from the Department of Social Security is ineligible to get the DSA. (Students are able to get the DSA in respect of a spouse who is receiving non-benefit Parenting Allowance); and

*       the parental income test does not apply to a student while a parent is getting AUSTUDY and the DSA in respect of their spouse. (subregulations 9.1, 9.2 and 14.1)

Concession to the "reverse current income" rule

The "reverse current income" rule takes account of increases in parental or spouse income of 25% or more in the financial year ending in the year of study. The increased amount is used to reassess a student's entitlement from 1 October in the year of study. To ensure that low income earners are not disadvantaged by the rule, it is modified by the regulations so that it does not apply where:

*       a person's income increases in the year by at least 25%; and

*       the increased amount does not exceed the level of parental or spouse income at which a student would be entitled to maximum AUSTUDY by 25% (i.e. $29,187 and $18,362 respectively for 1997). (regulations 13 and 15)

Rates and thresholds

The regulations increase the AUSTUDY income and assets test thresholds, rates of living allowance, fares allowances, rent assistance and fringe benefit interest rates. (regulations 17, 21 and 22, subregulation 7.3, and Schedule 1)

The regulations that have a beneficial effect on clients are taken to have commenced on 10 September 1996 (the date of disallowance of SR 393). Subregulations 7.2, 7.4, 9.2, 9.3 and 19.2 do not benefit clients and, accordingly, commence on gazettal. This is in accordance with subsection 48(2) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

The Attachment contains a more detailed explanation of the regulations.

ATTACHMENT

DETAILS OF THE AUSTUDY REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

Regulation 1        Amendment

Subregulation 1.1 provides that the AUSTUDY Regulations are amended as set out in these regulations.

Regulation 2        Commencement

Subregulation 2.1 provides that these regulations are taken to have commenced on 10 September 1996 (the date of disallowance of the Statutory Rules 1995 No. 393 (SR 393)) with the exception of subregulations 7.2, 7.4, 9.2, 9.3 and 19.2 which commence on gazettal.

Regulation 3        Regulation 4 (Citizenship)

Background

Section 7 of the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973 (the Act) provides that AUSTUDY can be paid to Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia. "Permanent resident of Australia" is defined in subsection 3(1) of the Act as "a person who, under the regulations, is to be treated, for the purposes of this Act, as permanently resident in Australia". Subregulation 4(1) of the AUSTUDY Regulations provides that a permanent resident is a person who is accepted as a permanent resident of Australia in terms of subsection 58(2) of the Migration Act 1958. Following a rewrite of migration legislation, this is no longer correct.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to subregulation 4(1) made by subregulation 3.1 updates the cross reference to subregulation 1.03 of the Migrant Regulations 1994. This ensures that permanent residents remain eligible to get AUSTUDY.

Regulation 4       Regulation 18A (What is excluded from assets? (e) farm assets in an "exceptional circumstances drought affected area")

Background

A package of drought relief measures to assist farm families living in "exceptional circumstances drought affected areas" was introduced in 1994. One measure in the package was the removal of the AUSTUDY farm assets test for families living in declared "exceptional circumstances drought affected areas" and not getting drought relief payments. This concession applies while the area is an "exceptional circumstances drought affected area" and for a six month recovery period thereafter.

Regulation 18A was inserted into the regulations by Statutory Rules 1994 No. 409 to provide this concession. The concession is extended by these regulations until the end of the year in which the drought recovery period ends.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 18A made by subregulation 4.1 provides that the farm assets test concession applies until the end of the year in which a drought recovery period ends.

Subregulation 4.2 provides that the "drought recovery period" means a period of six months after the day a Rural Adjustment Scheme Authority decides the area is no longer an "exceptional circumstances drought affected area".

Regulation 5        Regulation 19 (How are business assets treated?)

Background

Regulation 10 of Statutory Rules 1993 No. 367 amended regulation 19 by removing a restriction that companies and trusts had to be controlled by "family members". This placed those entities on the same footing as partnerships. Although references to control by family members were omitted, the definition -of "family member" remained.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to subregulation 19(1) made by subregulation 5.1 removes the superfluous definition of "family member".

Regulation 6       Regulation 22 (Excluded: (b) students getting certain pensions and allowances)

Background

Division 3 of the regulations provides that certain students are excluded from getting AUSTUDY. Subregulation 22(2) provides that a student cannot get AUSTUDY for a period in the year before the start of a course he or she intends to undertake if the student, or the student's spouse, gets certain benefits or allowances under the Social Security Act 1991, or the youth training allowance, at either the single or "married" rate,

The notion of dependency between spouses has been made redundant by, the progressive restructuring of income support arrangements to phase out "married rate:?' of payment and allow dependent partners to claim income support in their own right.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to subregulation 22(2) made by subregulations 6.1 and 6.2 remove the notion of dependency between spouses by omitting references to "spouse" and the "married rate".

Regulation 7        Regulation 61 (What is the maximum living allowance?)

Background

Regulation 61 provides the maximum rates of living allowance payable to students, including the independent rate, the special rate and the "sole parent" rate.

(a) "Sole parent" rate

For 1992, the AUSTUDY "sole parent" rate was $8,630. In 1993, to align with the Sole Parent Pension which had been reduced as a result of a restructure of family payment arrangements, the "sole parent" rate was reduced to $7,980 a year. However, clients who were getting the sole parent rate in 1992 continued to get the higher rate after 1992. Paragraph 61 (ab) was inserted into the regulations to provide this arrangement. The 1992 rate has not been paid since 1995 because it is now a lesser amount than the indexable "sole parent" rate. Accordingly, paragraph 61 (ab) is no longer required.

(b) "At-home" independent rate

The regulations introduce a new "at-home" rate of living allowance for students aged 22 to 24 years who are eligible for the independent rate under regulation 68 only (i.e. because they are at least 22 years of age) and who normally live with their parents. The new rate is $5,665 in 1996, less than the usual age related independent rate of $6,691 in 1996. The new rate does not apply:

*       until the end of their course - to students who, in respect of a course, are eligible to get the independent rate because of their age before 1 January 1996; and

*       to students who qualify for the special rate of living allowance which is payable to single people aged 21 and over who transfer to AUSTUDY from certain Department of Social Security payments.

Amendments made by this regulation

(a) "Sole parent" rate

The amendment to regulation 61 made by subregulation 7.1 omits paragraph 61 (ab).

(b) "At-home" rate for independent students

Subregulation 7.2 provides the new maximum rate of living allowance ($5,665 in 1996) for students aged 22 to 24 years who are independent under regulation 68 only and who normally live with their parents.

Subregulation 7.3 provides the maximum standard, independent and away-from-home rates of living allowance for 1996.

Subregulation 7.4 inserts new subregulation 61(3) to provide that, for the purpose of the "at-home" independent rate, "parent" means any natural or adoptive parent of the student, a spouse of the student's parent, or any other adult on whom the student is wholly or substantially dependent (except the student's spouse). Subregulation 7.4 also provides that "normally lives" has the same meaning as it has in subregulation 85(4). Additionally, subregulation 7.4 inserts new subregulation 61(4) to ensure that students who were eligible for the independent rate in relation to a course before 1 January 1996 continue to be eligible for that rate until the end of the course.

Regulation 8        Regulation 63 (Who gets special rate living allowance?)

Background

The Department of Social Security (DSS) pays a higher rate of allowance to people aged 21 and over than AUSTUDY which peaks at age 18. Regulation 63 provides the special rate of living allowance which was introduced to reduce financial disincentives for people aged 21 and over transferring to AUSTUDY from DSS payments. Subparagraph 63(1)(ab)(ii) provides for the special rate to be extended to a student where the relevant income support payment was made to a former partner at the "married rate".

The notion of dependency between spouses has been made redundant by the progressive restructuring of income support arrangements to phase out "married rates" of payment and allow dependent partners to claim income support in their own right.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 63 made by subregulation 8.1 omits "partner allowance, or another allowance, benefit or payment of a kind referred to in paragraph (a) at the rate set for a married person, because the person was the spouse of the student" from subparagraph 63(1)(ab)(ii). This removes from the regulation a superfluous reference to partner allowance and the notion of dependency between spouses.

The amendment also omits note 2 from regulation 63.

Regulation 9        Regulation 64 (Is there additional allowance for a spouse?)

Background

Regulation 64 provides for the payment of additional living allowance (known as the "Dependent Spouse Allowance" (DSA)) to students with a dependent spouse and at least one dependent child,

The DSA is an increase in a student's independent rate of living allowance if the student has a dependent spouse and at least one dependent child. The DSA was to be abolished on the grounds that the dependent spouse would be able to apply to the Department of Social Security for the Parenting Allowance in his or her own right. Regulation 64 was repealed by SR 393 which was subsequently disallowed by resolution of the Senate on 10 September 1996. This had the effect of reviving regulation 64 in its 1995 form. These regulations bring it into fine with 1996 conditions.

Subregulation 64(2) provides a transitional concession for students who were getting the DSA at the end of 1990. Since no student qualifies for the DSA under this provision in 1996, it is no longer necessary.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendment to subregulation 64(1) made by subregulation 9.1 provides that the maximum increase in the independent rate of living allowance in 1996 is $7,352, up from $7,035 in 1995. Subregulation 9.2 inserts into paragraph 64(1)(c) "benefit Parenting Allowance" under Chapter 2 of the Social Security Act 1991. This prevents a student from getting DSA in respect of a spouse who is receiving benefit Parenting Allowance. However, a student will continue to be able to get the DSA in respect of a spouse who is receiving non-benefit Parenting Allowance.

Subregulation 9.3 omits subregulation 64(2).

Regulation 10       Regulation 74 (Independent student: (g) unreasonable to live at home)

Background

Regulation 74 provides that a student can qualify as independent through it being unreasonable for him or her to live at home if the student does not five with his or her parents because the student's physical or mental health would be substantially at risk from domestic violence, sexual harassment, extreme family breakdown or another similar and exceptional circumstance.

The note to regulation 74 provides that "parent" for the purposes of regulation 74 is defined in subregulation 85(2). This definition is broader than is intended to apply in regulation 74 and is inconsistent with the definition that applies in relation to the youth training allowance.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to regulation 74 made by regulation 10 clarify that "parent" in paragraphs 74(a), (b) and (c) means natural or adoptive parents.

Note 1 to regulation 74 is no longer be necessary and is omitted.

Regulation 11         Regulation 75 (Independent student: (h) refugee)

Background

Regulation 67 identifies the conditions for getting the independent rate of living allowance, one of which is "refugee" as described in regulation 75.

Subregulation 75(1) provides that a person qualifies as independent through being a refugee if the person is the holder, within the meaning of the Migration (1993) Regulations, of a Group 1.3 entry permit (permanent resident (refugee and humanitarian)). Following a rewrite of the Migration legislation, the cross reference to the Migration Regulations is no longer correct.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 75 made by subregulation 11.1 corrects the cross reference to refer to a visa or entry permit under the Migration Act 1958 granted because the person demonstrated that he or she is a refugee or has other humanitarian needs. This amendment is not expected to alter the effect of the provision.

Regulation 12        Regulation 85 (Whose income is taken into account?)

Background

Part 5 of the AUSTUDY Regulations provides for the parental income test set out in regulations 84 to 88. Regulations 89 to 92 provide concessions to the parental income test.

Subregulation 85(1) provides that the parental income test takes account of the income of the student's parents. Subregulation 85(2) describes who is a 11 parent?).

(a) "Spouse" in relation to a parent

Subregulation 85(2) describes a "parent" as any natural or adoptive parents with whom the student normally lives; a spouse of a student's parent if the student normally fives with the spouse; any other adult on whom the student is wholly or substantially dependent (but not the student's spouse); or the natural or adoptive parent with whom the student last lived, if the student does not five with either parent and if there is no supporting adult.

The note to regulation 85 provides that "spouse" is defined in subregulation 93(2). Subregulation 93(2) defines a "spouse" in relation to a student as a person to whom the student is married and not separated from or a person with whom the student fives in a de facto relationship. While the intention is that "spouse" in relation to a parent is a person to whom the parent is married and not separated from or a person with whom the parent lives in a de facto relationship, a separate definition of "spouse" in relation to a student's parent clarifies the point.

(b) "Normally fives" with

The parental income test requires that the student "normally live" with their natural or adoptive parents and, as appropriate, the parent's partner. While "normally live" with is taken to mean maintain a permanent home with even though they may five away while studying, or are temporarily absent from the home on a holiday, regulation 85 is silent on this point. The amendment clarifies the intention.

Amendments made by this subregulation

The amendments to regulation 85 made by subregulation 12.1 adds new subregulation 85(3) to provide a definition of "spouse' in relation to a student's parent. Subregulation 12.1 also adds new subregulation 85(4) to clarify that "normally fives" means maintains a permanent home with despite occasionally living away from that home temporarily.

Regulation 13        Regulation 86 (What is parental income?)

Background

A dependent student's AUSTUDY entitlement is normally tested against parental income for the financial year ending before the year of study. A "current income" concession can be applied where a substantial and long lasting fall in income occurs in the financial year ending in the year of study that would make it unreasonable to base AUSTUDY on the normal period.

Regulation 86 sets out what is parental income. Subregulation 86(7) provides that if parental income in the financial year ending in the year of study is at least 25% greater than parental income in the financial year ending before the year of study, then the student's entitlement will be reassessed on the increased amount from 1 October in the year of study. This is known as "reverse current income".

Students whose parental income is below the AUSTUDY income test threshold ($23,350 in 1996) are harshly treated by this rule because an increase of 25% or more still leaves them with relatively low income.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 86 made by subregulation 13.1 means that the "reverse current income" rule does not apply:

*       where parental income for the year of study is less than the threshold figure beyond which a student cannot get the maximum living allowance; and

*       where that income increases in the year by at least 25%, but the increased amount does not exceed the threshold figure plus 25%.

A similar amendment is made to the spouse income test in regulation 94 (What is the spouse's income?). (See regulation 15).

Regulation 14       Regulation 91 (Concession to the parental income test: (c) pensions and allowances)

Background

Regulation 91 provides a concession to the parental income test where a student's parent gets certain income support payments.

(a) "Dependent Spouse Allowance" (DSA)

Prior to amendments contained in SR 393, paragraph 91(1)(d) provided that the parental income test was not applied while a student's parent was receiving AUSTUDY or AB STUDY and also got the DSA.

When regulation 64 (the DSA) was repealed by SR 393, paragraph 91(1)(d) was amended to provide that the parental income test would not be applied while a parent receives AUSTUDY and his or her spouse also gets Parenting Allowance. Following the revival of regulation 64 the nexus between AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY and the DSA must be restored while retaining the nexus between AUSTUDY and AB STUDY and Parenting Allowance.

(b) Drought Relief Payments (DRP) Scheme

Paragraph 9 1 (1)(ac) provides that the parental income test is not applied while a parent gets a DRP. The DRP is paid while the family fives in an "exceptional circumstances drought affected area" and for a six month drought recovery period. The concession is extended until the end of the year in which the parent is receiving DRP.

Amendments made by this regulation

(a) "Dependent Spouse Allowance"

The amendment to paragraph 91(1)(d) made by subregulation 14.1 inserts subparagraph 91(1)(d)(i) to provide that the parental income test is not applied while a student's parent gets AUSTUDY or ABSTUDY and also gets the DSA. The existing provisions are retained and are unchanged by this amendment. This ensures that the parental income test is not applied while a student's parent gets AUSTUDY or ABSTUDY and the spouse of the parent gets Parenting Allowance, AUSTUDY or ABSTUDY, or is a single parent.

(b) Drought Relief Payments Scheme

Subregulation 14.2 amends subregulation 91(1) to provide that the concession to the parental income test applies until the end of the year in which the student's parent is receiving DRP.

A note to advise that "spouse" in relation to a student's parent is defined in subregulation 85(3) is inserted into the regulations.

Regulation 15        Regulation 94 (What is the spouse's income?)

Background

Regulation 94 describes spouse income for the purposes of the spouse income test.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 94 made by subregulation 15.1 Emits the application of "reverse current income' to cases where the income of the student's spouse after the increase is at least 25% higher than the relevant AUSTUDY income test threshold for spouse income. This mirrors the amendment made to the parental income test by regulation 13.

Regulation 16       Regulation 97 (Concession to the spouse's income test: (b) pensions and allowances)

Background

Regulation 97 provides that the spouse income test is not applied where the student's spouse gets a payment under the Drought Relief Payments (DRP) Scheme. The concession is to apply until the end of the year in which the drought recovery period ends.

Amendment made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 97 made by subregulation 16.1 provides that the concession to the spouse income test continues to apply until the end of the year in which the student's spouse is receiving DRP.

Regulation 17        Regulation 101 (How much is the fares allowance?)

Background

Regulation 99 provides that tertiary students who receive a living allowance at the away-from-home rate may qualify for fares allowance for travel between their parents' permanent home and the institution at which they are studying. Travel by car or taxi is allowable in certain circumstances.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to regulation 10 1 made by regulation 17 bring the fares allowance rates for 1996 for travel by car or taxi into line with the 1996 Commonwealth public service private vehicle rates.

Regulation 18       Regulation 108 (Insufficient information or evidence about a student)

Background

Regulation 108 provides the Department's powers to obtain additional information or evidence. Subregulation 108(1) provides that an authorised person may request further information or evidence from a student or another person. Subregulation 108(2) provides that the request must be in writing and must contain advice that benefits cannot commence or that benefits will cease (as the case may be) if the request is not satisfied within 14 days.

Sections 343, 344 and 345 of the Act provide that information gathering powers relating to a student's entitlement to a student assistance payment are vested in the Secretary. Subsection 347(2) sets out the matters that a notice under section 343 must contain. It is appropriate to have information gathering powers contained in the Act only.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to regulation 108 made by subregulation 18.1 repeal subregulations 108(1), (2) and (3) (as the matters dealt with are more appropriately dealt with in the Act) and substitute new subregulation 108(1) to provide additional requirements of a notice under section 343 of the Act.

Subregulation 18.2 reflects the effect of the omission of subregulations 108(1), (2) and (3). It is not expected to change the effect of the provision.

A note is added to the regulations to advise that section 347 of the Act sets out the requirements for a notice under section 343 of the Act.

Regulation 19       Regulation 109 (What changes in circumstances must the Department be told about?)

Background

Subsection 7(1) of the Act provides that AUSTUDY may be granted to Australian citizens and permanent residents of Australia. Section 48 of the Act provides that if a prescribed event happens in relation to a person who is receiving, or is entitled to receive, an amount under the Act, the person must notify the Department, in accordance with the regulations, of the happening of the event within seven days. Regulation 109 contains the prescribed events for the purposes of section 48 of the Act.

It is possible for a person to cease being an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia. It is not automatic in either case for the Department to be advised of a person's changed status. It is possible that an AUSTUDY recipient whose status has changed will continue to be paid AUSTUDY after they are no longer eligible. Regulation 109 does not currently require a person to notify the Department if they are no longer an Australian citizen or a permanent resident in Australia.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendment to regulation 109 made by subregulation 19.1 recasts the provision to remove the reference to a specific number of days. This amendment is not expected to change the effect of the provision.

Subregulation 19.2 adds a requirement that a student must tell the Department if he or she ceases to be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia.

A note to the regulation is added to advise that "permanent resident of Australia" is defined in subregulation 4(2).

Regulation 20        Regulation 113 (Definitions)

Background

Subregulation 12.1 amends regulation 85 to provide a definition of "spouse" in relation to a student's parent.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to regulation 113 made by subregulation 20.1 adds to the index the definition of "spouse', in relation to a student's parent. The amendments also clarify that the existing "spouse" definition is "spouse", in relation to a student.

Regulation 21        Schedule 6 (Fringe Benefits)

Background

Regulations 86 and 94 provide for the parental and spouse income tests respectively. Both of these tests include as income the value of fringe benefits specified in Schedule 6 to the AUSTUDY regulations.

The fringe benefits include low interest loans which are valued by comparing the actual rate of interest for the loan against a notional rate as at 1 April of the fringe benefit year in accordance with clause 16 of Schedule 6.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to Schedule 6 made by subregulation 21.1 provide the notional interest rates for the fringe benefits year commencing on 1 April 1995.

Regulation 22        Further amendments - rates and thresholds

Background

Income and asset tests thresholds and the rates of living allowance are indexed annually according to movements in the Consumer Price Index. Fares allowance and rent assistance rates are also increased annually.

Amendments made by this regulation

The amendments to the regulations made by subregulation 22.1 provide the increased rates of living allowance not provided by subregulation 7.3 and the income and assets tests thresholds that apply for the remainder of 1996. Subregulation 22.1 also provides the fares allowance and rent assistance rates that apply for the remainder of 1996. The new rates and thresholds are set out in Schedule 1.

Regulation 23       Further amendments - references to the Student Assistance Act 1973

Background

On 1 January 1995, the Student Assistance (Youth Training Allowance) Amendment Act 1994 amended the Student Assistance Act 1973 by, among other things, altering its title to the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973.

Amendments proposed by this regulation

The amendments to the regulations made by subregulation 23.1 remove references to the Student Assistance Act 1973 and replace them with references to the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973. The references are listed in Schedule 2.
