The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) sets a registration expiry date to all school registered training organisations (RTOs) operating under the delegation.
You must apply to renew your registration before your registration expires.
When to apply
In November, usually the year before your registration is due to expire, you will receive advice through the VET app in the QCAA Portal inviting you to renew your registration.
If you want to continue your RTO registration, follow the instructions set out in the VET app advice.
Check your expiry date
You can find your registration expiry date in:
- the VET app
- the national register.
How to apply
To renew your school RTO registration:
- Review and reply to the advice sent via the VET app.
- Complete and submit the renewal application in the VET app.
Before you apply
Before submitting your application, make sure your RTO has effective governance and administrative arrangements in place.
The QCAA governance and administration checklist template can help you assess compliance before applying. You can find this template under Resources in the VET app.
What happens if you don’t apply
If you do not submit a complete application through the VET app in the QCAA Portal as requested, your RTO registration may lapse.
