1. What’s new in VET
Carol Hunter
RTO Services and Consulting

2. The NVR is coming...
For QLD ...Later this year and possibly as late as November
NSW, ACT and NT have already passed legislation with 1 July as the proposed start date
National Legislation is on the table and possibly will pass in late March

3. National VET Regulator Bill
Part of the cooperative policy framework that marks the integration of the new tertiary sector
C’wealth will acquire new responsibilities that were formerly the domain of the states
Created through a statutory agency (Standards Council) with more direct control over VET providers
VIC and WA will enact mirror legislation

4. How will it be different?
Both civil and administrative offences are available
Reduced amount of ‘process’ auditing replaced by ‘quality’ auditing using more enhanced risk identification procedures to identify need to audit
Referral and delegation powers e.g. to states, licensing or industry bodies or RTOs or state authorities
The national standards will become a legislative instrument

5. How will it be different?
There will be a mechanism for requesting re- assessment
Strong investigation powers – to produce documents, to enter and search
Strong enforcement penalties (civil and criminal)
Enforceable undertakings, infringement notices and injunctions

6. How will this impact us? Too early to tell
A lot of the bill is designed to provide for the wider market where significant damage has been done to the VET brand
There will be changes in style and operation
Delegation to QSA? Currently with TERC
