Deposit the registration fee (payable to the VRQA)
You are required to pay the application fee for registration and the first year annual registration and assessment fees when submitting an application for initial registration. For information on the fees charged and on payment options, please refer to the VET Registration fees page.
Lodge the application
Please lodge your signed application in hard copy format with the VRQA (GPO Box 2317, Melbourne, Victoria, 3001) and include payment or proof of payment of the registration fees with your application.
Determining your scope of registration
A scope of registration defines the particular training qualifications and services that an RTO is registered to deliver. An RTO can apply to the VRQA to change its scope of registration at any time in order to provide additional nationally recognised qualifications or to replace superseded qualifications.
When applying to be registered for the first time and when applying to add new units or qualifications to the scope of registration, you must have in place all systems and processes needed to meet the requirements of the conditions of registration and AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration. Full compliance must be maintained for the duration of registration.
Detailed learning and assessment strategies must be prepared prior to applying for registration.
Specific requirements for including particular qualifications in your scope of registration
As part of the process to add qualifications, or in some instances units of competency, to the scope of registration, the VRQA will seek technical advice from specific organisations that relate to the capacity of the RTO to meet the requirements of the Training Package or accredited course. This may be done in a number of ways including:
- Verification from the relevant regulatory or industry advisory organisation that it is satisfied that the requirements of industry have been met. In some instances this must be provided in writing as part of the application or may be provided to the VRQA after an application has been lodged;
- A technical expert may participate as part of the audit team for a registration or extension to scope of registration audit against the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration.
Victorian WorkCover Authority (WorkSafe) – Approval to provide any of the following qualifications/units of competency must be provided to the VRQA with the application for extension of scope.
To obtain a written verification, RTOs must notify WorkSafe in writing of their intention to deliver the relevant HRW units of competency and provide the following information. Please note that most of this information can be printed from NTIS but RTOs should make sure they clarify the location(s) where the training will be delivered.
- organisation’s legal name and trading name
- ABN and/or ACN (where applicable)
- registration number
- physical address (and postal address if different)
- location(s) where the course will be delivered
- contact details (name, position, phone, fax and email).
The notification letter should be sent to The Manager, Construction and High Risk Work Licensing Team, WorkSafe Licensing Branch, GPO Box 4293, Melbourne, Vic, 3001 or email licensing@worksafe.vic.gov.auWorkSafe Victoria will contact you to arrange a suitable time to conduct a review to ensure all necessary procedures, equipment, facilities and personnel are available to deliver the units. Information on this process can be found on the Worksafe website. WorkSafe has developed the RTO self assessment workbook to assist with this process and it will be provided to RTOs on request. WorkSafe will advise RTOs in writing of the outcome of the review and this letter must be included in the application to the VRQA.
