To apply to become a school RTO:
- check your school is eligible
- contact the QCAA VET team on (07) 3864 0381 or vet@qcaa.qld.edu.au to discuss your school’s RTO eligibility and application.
- complete the ‘Initial RTO registration’ application activity in the VET application in the QCAA Portal.
The QCAA is currently working with ASQA and undertaking consultation meetings with the three schooling sectors to pilot the performance assessment process.
This process will test the QCAA’s approach with providers.
The QCAA will communicate with all RTOs and update this webpage once this consultation process has concluded to ensure that all RTOs registered with the QCAA have transparency of the revised regulatory approach.
Note: New RTOs are prevented from expanding their scope of registration within the first 24 months of their registration.
Note: Registration as an RTO is dependent on the outcome of the initial registration process. If the school is required to provide return to compliance evidence this will extend the timelines to the process. The initial registration process can take up to six months to complete. Schools are reminded that they cannot advertise or offer any VET training products without first being registered as an RTO.
Note: Non-school RTOs must apply to ASQA for RTO registration.
