Fit and proper person requirements

  • Does each member of a board of directors need to sign ‘fit and proper person requirements’? (Clause 7.1)

    The National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 defines anyone who manages the RTO, or owns more than 15 per cent of it, as an ‘executive officer’.

    All executive officers, high managerial agents and any persons who exercise a degree of control or influence over the management or direction of the RTO must satisfy the Fit and Proper Person Requirements (which, as of 2015, are part of the Standards).

    These people must make a ‘fit and proper person’ declaration, in accordance with ASQA’s requirements, whenever their RTO:

    • applies for initial registration or to renew registration as an RTO, or
    • employs a new manager.
