An approved provider is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that has applied to the department to be an approved VSL course provider and has met all the provider suitability requirements.

Approved providers are identified on Your Career by filtering and selecting VET Student Loans.

If you’re an RTO and you want to offer courses that are supported by VET Student Loans, you’ll need to apply to become an approved provider [part 4]. Once you’ve been approved, you’ll have to continue to meet your conditions of approval [part 10].

Approved course providers must:

  • offer approved courses [part 16]
  • check that students are eligible to enrol in their approved courses [part 31]
  • manage the VET Student Loans application process on behalf of students [part 27]
  • comply with all key Commonwealth and state and territory legislation [Appendix A]
  • meet ongoing requirements to maintain approved provider status [part 57]
  • pay an annual approved course provider charge [part 15].
