Information related to contractual requirements, and related documents, for Western Australian registered training organisations contracted by the Department of Training and Workforce Development for the delivery of vocational education and training through Jobs & Skills WA.
Last updated:

Under Jobs & Skills WA, contracting arrangement processes have been streamlined and strengthened to support greater quality training provision. The focus is on efficient and effective selection and management of contracted private registered training organisations (RTOs).

RTOs contracted by the Department to deliver training services in WA are required to comply with a range of contractual obligations. These include key contractual requirements common to all programs, and additional program-specific requirements which will vary depending on the program under which you have been contracted to deliver.

Listed below are the contractual requirements and supporting information.
 

  • The list of key contractual requirements are common to all programs and apply to all contracts.
     
  • The items listed under program-specific requirements are additional to the key contractual documents. They apply only to the program/s you have been contracted to deliver.

If you require clarification or assistance in relation to your contract, please contact your case manager directly.

All RTOs are to ensure that they comply with the Department of Training and Workforce Development's VET fees and charges policy.
