New RTOs in November 2019
November was a fairly steady month, with 8 new RTOs added.
NSW
45558 National Parks and Wildlife Service (Safety)
45559 Flick Anticimex Pty Ltd (Pest Control)
45563 Australian Institute of Mining (Metalliferous Mining)
QLD
45557 Lead Institute (Community Services)
45561 Edinburgh International College Pty Ltd (Business)
45560 the Healey International College (Business)
45562 We Train QLD (First Aid)
VIC
45564 Outcome Academy Pty Ltd (Business)
Restrictions
There were 12 restrictions added in November (and 4 ended).
Two relate to full deregistration actions, but in both cases, enforcement has been stayed pending appeal in the AAT. This is a notable difference between past practices of enforcing broad restrictions which destroy the business while the decision is being appealed. Even if the RTO won their appeal (which they normally did) they are forced out of the industry anyway.
The formal requirement to notify ASQA when commencing delivery or national courses appears to now be a regular part of the process.

Training component changes
There were 2350 changes to training components November, including a major overhaul of foundation skills qualifications and units. Substantial changes were also made to Business qualifications and Performing Arts, Religion and Indigenous recognised courses.
A lot of changes can happen in a month, with many RTOs automatically adding new equivalent components to their scope. With VET BI, you set your watch list to notify you when a competitor in your regions of interest adds an item to scope in an category you are interested in. This gives you a more tightly focused view of your competitors changes to scope.
Funding changes
The main activity in November was that 6 RTOs were allowed to delivery funded training in SA.
VET BI can provide you with email alerts about who’s getting funding and who’s not that is targeted to your subjects and regions of interest.
