Transition extensions

Training products are updated to reflect current workplace and industry needs, and we encourage you to deliver the current release of training products whenever possible.

In certain circumstances, ASQA is empowered to approve transition periods longer than those detailed in Section 14 of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Compliance Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations and Fit and Proper Person Requirements) Instrument 2025.

We will only consider applications for a longer transition period where we consider that extraordinary circumstances exist and/or where it has been demonstrated that the current transition period genuinely disadvantages students.

Individual providers or other interested parties (such as an industry association) can submit an application via the online form: apply for a transition extension.

In order to ensure there is adequate time to consider your request, applications should be submitted at least 180 days before the current transition period ends.

Administrative errors or delays in updating training and assessment materials are not valid reasons for a transition extension.
