Important changes to the AQTF

On 3 December 2009 the National Quality Council (NQC) endorsed key changes to the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Standards for Registration. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) met on 7 December and endorsed the NQC’s amendments.

These important changes strengthen the AQTF and ensure regulators have the tools they need to protect the interests of all students undertaking Vocational Education and Training in Australia.

Implementation of the new Standards, including strengthening the AQTF national guidelines for risk management and managing non-compliance, will be completed by March 2010.
