Can I amend my organisation's
registration?
An RTO can amend its registration at any time by applying to
the Council.
RTOs wishing to add replacement qualifications/units of
competence/courses for those that have been superceded, must submit an
application to the TAC Secretariat. RTOs are required to
complete and submit an
RTO2 Amendment to Registration form for TAC approval prior
to the commencement of delivering the proposed
qualifications/units of competence/courses.
RTOs wishing to add qualifications/units of
competence/courses which it is not currently registered to
deliver must apply to the Council. RTOs can not deliver and
assess any of the proposed qualifications/units of
competence/courses until the amendment has been approved by the
Council.
A RTO can amend its registration by:
- adding units of competency, Training Package qualifications, and/or nationally accredited courses to its current scope of registration;
- replacing an accredited course with a Training Package;
- transferring to revised Training Package qualifications; or
- removing qualifications, courses, units from current scope of registration.

How will my application be evaluated?
When the TAC Secretariat receives your application, it will undergo a desktop review to determine if further information is required.
The TAC Secretariat will then conduct a risk assessment to
determine the type of audit to be undertaken. Where qualifications and/or units of competence/courses are added to an RTO's scope of registration and no audit was conducted, those qualifications/units of competence/courses
may be subject to audit at any subsequent AQTF audit of the RTO. The following flowchart details the audit process for the
amendment to registration process.
