Fit and proper person requirements

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 and the ‘high managerial agent’ of a RTO must satisfy the Fit and Proper Person Requirements 2011.

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.
