The NESA School Registration Committee
Legislative basis
The Education Standards Authority Act 2013 ('the NESA Act') allows NESA to create committees to assist in exercising its functions. The NESA Act allows NESA to delegate its powers under the Act to a person or a body, such as a committee. The NESA School Registration Committee ('the Registration Committee') is one such committee.
Role of the Registration Committee
NESA has delegated to the Registration Committee its functions concerning the registration and accreditation of non-government schools and the monitoring of systems of non-government schools.
The Registration Committee exercises its delegation from NESA within NESA policies.
All references to the Registration Committee making recommendations to the Minister concerning registration or decisions concerning accreditation are based on the Registration Committee exercising delegation on registration and accreditation matters within prevailing NESA policies.
Processes exist whereby NESA may review decisions and/or recommendations of the Registration Committee.
