Proposed Ministerial Direction on Compulsory Student Services Fees 2014

Pursuant to sections 227A(1) and 235D(1) of the Education Act 1989, I give the following direction to institutions and private training establishments (together referred to in this direction as "providers"):

Objective

1. The objective of the direction is to ensure accountability in the use of compulsory fees for student services.

Coverage

2. All providers that charge a compulsory student services fee to domestic students must comply with the provisions of this direction.

Effective date

3. Providers must give effect to this direction as soon as reasonably practicable after 1 November 2013.

Decision-making

4. Providers must establish adequate arrangements for decisions to be made jointly, or in consultation with the students enrolled at the provider, or their representatives, on the following matters:

(a) the maximum amount that students will be charged for student services; and

(b) the types of services to be delivered (within the categories set out under paragraph 9 of this direction); and

(c) the procurement of these services; and

(d) the method for authorising expenditure on these services.

Accounting for the use of compulsory student services fees

5. Providers must either hold compulsory student services fees in a separate bank account, or ensure that all income and expenditure associated with the provision of such services is separately accounted for in the provider’s accounting system.
