Third party organisations
RTOs often engage with other organisations, known as third parties, to deliver training and/or assessment of VET courses. The VET Information Standard now requires third party arrangements to be reported.
This page explains how third-party arrangements are to be captured to satisfy the requirements of the VET Information Standard, including the type of arrangement and how third parties are identified.
What it captures
Third party organisations must be identified under the VET Information Standard along with the type of relationship between the RTO and the third-party organisation.
An appropriate identifier is required based on the type of third-party organisation:
Organisation type |
Identifier |
|---|---|

Training organisation identifier |
Non-RTO (Australia) |
Australia Business Number (ABN) |
Non-Australian organisation |
Training organisation name |
Type of arrangement
All third-party arrangements must be recorded through the participant involvement type information element, which identifies the type of relationship an organisation has to a student enrolment. It is used when third-party arrangements for training and assessment are executed.
The types of arrangements covered by the participant involvement type classifications are:
-
