Fee Concession Contribution. Where the RTO has granted a fee concession to an Eligible Individual in accordance with the requirements set out in the Guidelines about Fees, the RTO will receive a contribution from the Department as a result of charging the concession fee to that individual. The RTO must report to the Department all fee concessions granted by the RTO to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the fee concession reporting requirements outlined in the Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines issued by the Department from time to time. The Fee Concession Contribution paid to the RTO by the Department under Clause 12.27 of this Schedule 1 is on the basis of Student Statistical Reports provided by the RTO taking into account scheduled hours; qualifications for enrolments for which concessions were granted; and data indicating the grounds for the concession granted to an individual. The Fee Concession Contribution amount for the purposes of Clause 12.27 of this Schedule 1 will be 100% of revenue foregone, up to a maximum value. This will be calculated based on four (4) times the actual hourly rate paid by the student and reported by the RTO (being 20% of the standard published hourly fee), up to a maximum hourly value, applied to the paid scheduled hours in each enrolment. The maximum hourly value is the relevant ‘Maximum Fee Concession Contribution per hour’ for the course (as identified on the Student Tuition Fee Contribution Report as published on the SVTS). The Department will not pay a Fee Concession Contribution to the RTO in relation to individuals who are granted a fee concession and who are also referred Job Seekers. A referred Job Seeker is an individual who holds a standard Job Seeker Referral Form. In these instances, with prior agreement of the referring agency, providers must invoice the referring agency directly for the portion of the tuition fee not covered by the referred Job Seeker. The RTO must report the correct Fee Concession/Exemption Identifier for this, which may be subject to annual reconciliation with the Commonwealth. Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution Where the RTO has granted a fee waiver/exemption to an Eligible Individual in accordance with the requirements set out in the Guidelines about Fees, the RTO will receive a contribution from the Department as a result of waiving/exempting the fee for that individual. The RTO must report to the Department all fee waivers/exemptions granted to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the fee waiver/exemption reporting requirements outlined in the Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines issued by the Department from time to time. The Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution paid to the RTO by the Department under Clause 12.32 of this Schedule 1 is on the basis of Student Statistical Reports provided by the RTO taking into account scheduled hours; qualifications for enrolments for which concessions were granted; and data indicating the grounds for the concession granted to an individual. The Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution under Clause 12.32 of this Schedule 1 will be calculated and paid by the Department on the basis of the relevant ‘Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution per Hour’ (fixed value) for the course (as identified on the Student Tuition Fee Contribution Report as published on the SVTS), applied to the paid scheduled hours in each enrolment. AUDITS OR REVIEWS RELATING TO EVIDENCE OF PARTICIPATION, EVIDENCE OF ELIGIBILITY AND EVIDENCE OF FEE CONCESSIONS/ WAIVERS/EXEMPTIONS The Department may instigate an Evidence of Participation Audit, Evidence of Eligibility Audit and/or Evidence of Concession Audit at any time should the Department have any concerns relation to Training Services provided under the VET Funding Contract or any other Service Agreement. Evidence of Participation The RTO must be able to support the sampled units of competency/modules with Evidence of Participation as prescribed in Clause 10 of this Schedule 1, in respect of each Eligible Individual for which it has made a claim for payment from the Department. If the Evidence of Participation Audit using a statistically valid sample size as determined by the Department reveals that units of competency/modules audited are not supported, then without limiting the Department's rights under Clauses 17 and 18 of the VET Funding Contract, where the percentage of unsupported units of competency/modules (exceptions) exceeds a threshold specified by the Department, the Department may: apply a monetary amount in accordance with Clause 17 of the VET Funding Contract; require a refund of some or all of the Funds from the RTO; and/or cancel some or all of the Funds claimed by the RTO. For the purpose of Clause 13.3(a), the monetary amount will be 10 per cent of the total Funds claimed and/or paid to the RTO across the total population of units of competency/modules from which the statistically valid sample has been drawn, multiplied by the percentage points of exceptions. For the purpose of Clause 13.3(b), the value of Funds sought by the Department under this clause may be up to the percentage points of exceptions above the threshold, applied to the total Funds claimed and/or paid to the RTO across the total population of units of competency/modules from which the statistically valid sample has been drawn. Evidence of Eligibility The RTO must be able to support assessment of student eligibility for the Victorian Training Guarantee as prescribed in the VET Funding Contract and the related Guidelines about Determining Student Eligibility and Supporting Evidence in respect of each Eligible Individual for which it has made a claim for payment from the Department. If the Evidence of Eligibility Audit reveals insufficient documentation (exceptions), then without limiting the Department's rights under Clauses 17 and 18 of the VET Funding Contract, the Department may: apply a monetary amount in accordance with Clause 17 of the VET Funding Contract; require a refund of some or all of the Funds from the RTO; and/or cancel some or all of the Funds claimed by the RTO For the purpose of Clause 13.7(a), the monetary amount will be 10 per cent of the total Funds claimed and/or paid to the RTO for each enrolment for which an exception has been identified. Evidence of Concession The RTO must be able to support the application of fee concessions and fee waivers/exemptions as prescribed in the VET Funding Contract, and the related Guidelines about Fees in respect of each Eligible Individual for which it has made a claim for payment from the Department. If the Evidence of Concession Audit reveals insufficient documentation (exceptions) then, without limiting the Department's rights under Clauses 17 and 18 of the VET Funding Contract, the Department may: apply a monetary amount in accordance with Clause 17 of the VET Funding Contract; require a refund of some or all of the Funds from the RTO; and/or cancel some or all of the Fee Concession Contribution or Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution claimed by the RTO. For the purpose of Clause 13.10(a), the monetary amount will be 10 per cent of the total Fee Concession Contribution or Fee Waiver/Exemption Contribution claimed and/or paid to the RTO for each enrolment for which an exception has been identified. ENROLMENTS IN COURSES AND QUALIFICATIONS ON THE FOUNDATION SKILLS LIST For government subsidised enrolments in a course on the Foundation Skills List, for a claim to be eligible for payment of Funds a unit of competency/module must be: specified as a core unit in the curriculum for that course, or specified and listed as a unit within a specialisation or as an elective unit in the curriculum for that course, or designated by the Department as Literacy and Numeracy Support units as specified in the Literacy and Numeracy Support Implementation Guide issued by the Department. The Department will not fund, and the RTO must not make a claim for, any unit of competency/module undertaken as part of a government subsidised enrolment in a course on the Foundation Skills List that is not in accordance with Clause 14.1 of this Schedule 1. Any payment of Funds by the Department in respect of a claim for any unit of competency/module not specified in Clause 14.1 of this Schedule 1 will be immediately repayable by the RTO to the Department. This Clause 14 does not apply to the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (Foundation).
