The higher education support bill 2019 will seek to impose the higher education tuition protection levy, prescribe the levy components and the manner in which they will be determined each year. The VET Student Loans (VSL Tuition Protection Levy) Bill 2019 supports the Education Legislation Amendment (Tuition Protection and Other Measures) Bill 2019. The VET Student Loans (VSL Tuition Protection Levy) Bill 2019 will seek to impose the VET student loans tuition protection levy and prescribe the levy components and the manner in which they will be determined each year. The Education Legislation Amendment (Tuition Protection and Other Measures) Bill 2019 will seek to expand the tuition protection services for international students to domestic students accessing a VET student loan, a FEE-HELP loan or a HECS-HELP loan at a provide education provider or TAFE. I commend these bills to the House.
