Extended transition period: HLT Qualifications - HLT30113 and HLT40213

In some cases, ASQA is empowered to approve transition periods longer than those detailed in Clauses 1.26 (a), (b) and (c) of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015.

In accordance with the Guidance for Providers – Learner Transition, ASQA will consider applications for a longer transition period where it can be demonstrated that there would be genuine disadvantage to a cohort of learners if such an extension was not approved.

ASQA has recently approved an extended transition period for the following training products:

• HLT30113 - Certificate III in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care
• HLT40213 - Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice

The transition period for training, assessment and certification issuance for these training products is extended from 31 December 2024 to 31 July 2025.

This decision only applies for the following student cohort/s:

• students who have commenced formal training and/or assessment in their course on or before 13 December 2023

All students must either complete and receive certification or be transferred to replacement training products by the new transition end date.

ASQA has consulted with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority and the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia regarding this extended transition period.

The training products referenced above will remain on RTOs’ scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.
