Register as a
Quality GTO
Registration as a Quality Group Training Organisation (GTO) is
available to businesses and organisations that wish to operate and provide the
services of a GTO and meet the National Standards for group training organisations (2006).
To register as a Quality GTO, contact your State or Territory training
authority (STA). They are responsible for evaluating GTOs and
providing an independent audit program to ensure organisation compliance with the
National Standards for Group Training Organisations.
For GTOs to be eligible for specific public funding, an audit of its quality management system by an approved auditor is required to be undertaken.
Maintaining GTO status
For a GTO to maintain quality group training status, it must
conduct annual internal reviews against the National
Standards for Group Training Organisations to identify and implement continuous
improvement. STAs will also conduct compliance evaluations at least once every
three years from the initial evaluation. STAs may also conduct strategic audits
for specific purposes, for example where a GTO extends its operations to
another State or Territory.
It is
important to note that compliance audits conducted in a State or Territory
will be recognised by another but this will not automatically constitute
approval to operate in other States and Territories. If you wish to
operate in another State or Territory, you will need to seek approval by
application and address the operating requirements of that State or Territory training authority.
