What is that remedial action contemplated, at what cost and is any compensation contemplated for the affected students?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4622">The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:46):</by>  It is slightly too early to give a comprehensive answer to that question but, to enlighten the house, when I talk about remedial action I can give a couple of examples. It may be that a student who is undertaking a unit of competency has not yet learnt something that they ought to learn and that will now occur. It may be that a student has completed a unit of competency and is still enrolled in the qualification but that, in being assessed on that unit of competency they have completed, they were not fully assessed on all the requirements and that will now take place.</text>
        <text id="20171019377b8b8995cf44b4b0000622">In terms of the other elements of the question, we will have to await the work-through with ASQA, but, as I have said from the start, TAFE will be a model litigant should that approach ever become necessary.</text>
