Division 198 of the Act, and to take into account the rollover of any grant amounts from previous years under section 41-40 of the Act.

    1.45.5  The total amount of HEPPP funds available in 2024 and later years will be determined by the Minister.

1.46 Distribution of HEPPP funds

    1.46.1 Grants will be made to eligible higher education providers each calendar year based on the provider's respective share of domestic undergraduate students from a low SES background, students from regional areas and remote areas and Indigenous students.

1.47 Calculation of grant amounts

    1.47.1 Grant amounts for the below years will be calculated using the following formulae:

    Where:

    A is the total amount available for the year under the HEPPP (see section 1.45.1);

    B is the total number of domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds enrolled at the relevant higher education provider in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    C is the total number of domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds enrolled at all Table A providers in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    D is the total number of domestic undergraduate students with a permanent residential address in a regional area or a remote area at the time the person first enrols in a course of study with the relevant provider, in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    E is the total number of domestic undergraduate students at all Table A providers that have a permanent residential address in a regional area or a remote area at the time the person first enrols in a course of study with their provider, in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    F is the total number of domestic undergraduate Indigenous persons enrolled at the relevant higher education provider in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    G is the total number of domestic undergraduate Indigenous persons enrolled at all Table A providers in the most recent year for which HEIMS data is available;

    1.47.5 For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the grant amount for a year under section 1.47.1, any grant amounts that were rolled over from the previous year under section 41-40 of the Act must not be taken into account.

1.48 Eligible grant activities

    1.48.1 Grants made under the HEPPP must be spent on equity activities that:

       (a)    target current and prospective domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds, students from regional areas and remote areas and Indigenous students; and
       (b)    support tailored programs that address the specific disadvantages, as appropriate, faced by the provider's students, and prospective students, from low SES backgrounds, regional areas and remote areas, and
