High risk work RTOs

Approval to conduct training in NSW

To gain approval, the RTO must apply to us and sign an agreement that requires the RTO to comply with our administrative and delivery requirements, including our code of conduct.

The application fee is shown in our list of fees and charges.

To apply the RTO must:

• add the required unit of competency for the class of work to the RTO scope of registration with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA)
• read the conditions for conducting high risk work licence assessments and ensure that they (and any partners or contractors) can comply before signing
• send a completed application to conduct a high risk work licence assessment (that includes the accredited assessors who will deliver the assessment services) to us for approval.

All RTOs must comply with our conditions to the agreement (PDF, 203.04 KB).
