How do providers deal with the different requirements of ASQA and occupational health and safety regulators for high-risk work licenses?
Answer
ASQA regulates training providers against the vocational education and training (VET) Quality Framework and has no jurisdiction over regulatory requirements of other authorities. Similarly, other authorities such as state occupational health and safety regulators or Work Safe Australia do not have the authority to mandate requirements for delivery of nationally recognised training. However, these authorities may refuse to recognise qualifications or statements of attainment which have been issued by providers that do not meet their standards.
Providers that come under the jurisdiction of multiple industry regulators may need to comply with multiple requirements.
