This Act may be cited as the Education Services for Overseas Students
(Registration Charges) Amendment Act 2000.
This Act commences on the day on which it receives the Royal
Assent.
Each Act that is specified in a Schedule to this Act is amended or
repealed as set out in the applicable items in the Schedule concerned, and any
other item in a Schedule to this Act has effect according to its
terms.
Education Services for
Overseas Students (Registration Charges) Act 1997
1 Subsection 5(2) (table
item 1)
Omit “$300”, substitute “$400”.
2 Subsection 5(2) (table
item 2)
Omit “$750”, substitute “$1,165”.
3 Subsection 5(2) (table
item 3)
Omit “$1,500”, substitute “$2,311”.
4 Subsection 5(2) (table
item 4)
Omit “$2,500”, substitute “$3,852”.
5 Subsection 5(2) (table
item 5)
Omit “$5,000”, substitute “$8,000”.
Repeal the note, substitute:
Note 1: The amount of the charge is indexed under
section 7 for 2002 and later years.
Note 2: The amount of the charge may be different from the
amount specified in the table if an instrument under section 5A is in
effect.
7 After section 5
Insert:
(1) The Governor-General may make a written instrument setting out an
amount or amounts of annual registration charge that are different from the
amount or amounts that would otherwise be payable for that year.
(2) The instrument must be expressed to apply to the first year beginning
after it is made and all later years.
(3) The instrument may set out an amount for one class of provider only,
or may set out different amounts for different classes of provider.
(4) The Minister must table a copy of the instrument in each House of the
Parliament as soon as practicable.
(5) If each House of the Parliament passes a resolution approving the
instrument, then, for each class of provider that the instrument relates to, the
amount of annual registration charge payable for the relevant years is the
amount set out in the instrument, instead of the amount that would otherwise be
payable.
8 Subsection 7(1)
Omit “or annual registration charge”.
9 After subsection 7(1)
Insert:
(1A) This section also applies for the purpose of working out the amount
of annual registration charge for any year (also called the current
year) after 2001, unless that year is the first year to which a
particular section 5A instrument applies.
Note: The reason for the exception is that the possibility
of indexation for that year can be taken into account in making the instrument,
so there is no need for this section to apply as well.
10 Subsection 7(2)
After “subsection 5(2)”, insert “or an instrument in
effect under section 5A”.
11 Application of
amendments
The amendments made by this Schedule apply in working out the amount of
charge payable for 2001 and all later years.
