In a statement, FASEA said it had registered the 2020 Amendment Legislative Instrument and Explanatory Statement for its Relevant Providers Degrees, Qualifications and Courses Standard on the Federal Register of Legislation.
The new determination includes all bachelor degrees, graduate diplomas and bridging courses approved by FASEA since the previous determination was registered in January 2020, including courses from Deakin University, Swinburne University of Technology and the University of Adelaide.
The determination also includes FASEA-approved recognition of prior learning for existing advisers who have a relevant degree and a postgraduate relevant degree; education undertaken to attain professional designations for SAFAA, FPA, AFA and CPA; and amendments to historical course details provided to FASEA by a number of higher education providers after the registration of the previous determination.
The determination was informed through six formal submissions during FASEA’s consultation process in December 2019, the authority said.
“We thank stakeholders for their constructive input during the consultation process for FASEA’s Relevant Providers Degrees, Qualifications and Courses Standard and are pleased to have reflected this input where appropriate in the legislative instrument,” FASEA chief executive Stephen Glenfield said.
