Change RTO scope | Application process

We take a risk-based approach to assess change of scope applications.

To decide whether to grant your application, we consider:

• the training products you intend to offer
• your scope of registration
• your provider profile and compliance history
• your resourcing capability and readiness to start training.

Fees and charges

If you want to amend or withdraw your application after you submit it

Email us if you need to amend or withdraw your application.

If we have started assessing your application, it may not be possible to change or withdraw it.

Application lodgement fees are not refunded once we have started to triage or assess your application, except under exceptional circumstances.

If we approve your change of scope application

We may approve:

• all products in your application
• some products in your application
• products in your application with specific conditions

• all or some products in your application with a written direction to resolve non-compliance.

   

If we don’t approve changes to your registration

If we don’t approve your application, we’ll let you know the reasons for our decision in writing.

Your application may be rejected if:

• it’s incomplete and you didn’t give us the required documentation on time or in the format we need
• you didn’t pay the lodgement fee in full
• you didn’t demonstrate compliance with the VET Quality Framework
• you haven’t satisfied the financial viability risk assessment requirements

• a regulatory decision such as a sanction or other non-compliance action applies to the training products in your application.

   

If you disagree with our decision

If we don’t approve your registration application, we’ll send you a letter to explain why. You can also ask us to review our decision.
