Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2023-05-25.
This bill is part of a package that would expand a loan program for apprentices to cover more occupations, including those in aged care, disability care and childcare.
The package would let the Minister create a new priority list of occupations, replacing the current one, after considering advice from Jobs and Skills Australia.
The bill itself would only update a reference to the loan program's short title in the levy Act that applies to overseas debtors.
- Replaces the current TSL Priority List with a new Australian Apprenticeships Priority List determined by the Minister.
- Allows the Secretary to extend the deadline for applying for a payment instalment.
- Updates short title and defined terms references in several other Acts.
- Updates a reference to the Act's short title in the Student Loans (Overseas Debtors Repayment Levy) Act 2015.
People undertaking apprenticeships or traineeships in occupations experiencing skills shortages.
