In your application you’ll need to set out the courses you propose to offer, and the estimated VSL loan amounts required for your proposed courses in a calendar year. The courses must be listed on the VET Student Loans (Courses and Loan Caps Determination) 2016. They must also be current on your organisation's scope on the national register at training.gov.au. These will become part of your conditions of approval [part 10]. If you want to add courses or vary your annual fee limit, you can apply to change your conditions of approval [part 12]. You can do this any time before your period of approval finishes.
If any third party is to deliver the course, or part of the proposed course, you may under certain circumstances need to request approval [part 8.4].
5.1 - Assessment and approval
It will normally take 8 weeks to assess your application. If we need to get further information from you, it may take longer.
We will give you written notice of the outcome of your application.
The maximum period for which a provider may be approved is 7 years.
If we decide to approve you for a period of less than 7 years, the notice will include the reasons for the period being less than 7 years.
5.2 - Remaining an approved provider
Once you are an approved provider, you’ll need to meet ongoing requirements [part 57] and continue to meet your conditions of approval to maintain this status. You’ll also need to pay an annual charge [part 15]. Some providers need to pay an annual levy to the Tuition Protection Service as well.
5.3 - More information
We may amend the VSL Provider Manual, Application Form, or application process at any time. If these changes occur, we will notify applicants by email and direct them to information on the VET Student Loans webpage. We may give applicants who have submitted an application the opportunity to update their application.
For any questions regarding the application process, please email VSLProgramIntegrity@dewr.gov.au.
