Subject - Student Assistance Act 1973
AUSTUDY Repeal Regulations 2003
Subsection 56(1) of the Student Assistance Act 1973 (the Act) provides, in part, that the Governor General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters which, by the Act, are required or permitted to be prescribed, or which are necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.
The AUSTUDY Scheme was established under the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973 (the SYA Act). The AUSTUDY Regulations provided for the statutory mechanism in relation to the AUSTUDY payments and youth training allowance.
The title of the SYA Act was subsequently amended to the Student Assistance Act 1973. Successor programs to the AUSTUDY payments and youth training allowance are no longer administered under the Act.
These Regulations repeal the AUSTUDY Regulations made under the SYA Act which are presently redundant as they applied to earlier assistance programs administered by the Department which are no longer in operation. Their repeal is essentially a "housekeeping" exercise to remove redundant regulations.
These Regulations commenced on gazettal.
