Common use of Government Subsidy Clause in Contracts

Government Subsidy. The Department will only make payment of Funds (as calculated in accordance with this Clause 12 of this Schedule 1) for Training Services delivered to Eligible Individuals for currently endorsed courses and qualifications as identified on the Funded Courses Report as published on the SVTS and which are on the RTO’s Funded Scope. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of Funds will only be made where the Course Commencement Date for the relevant course or qualification: falls within a period where the “Is Approved For Funding” status on the RTO’s Funded Scope Report is “Approved” (where the period is defined by the relevant “Start Date” and “End Date” in the Report); and falls within the “Effective for CCD from” and “Effective for CCD to” dates for the course as identified in the Funded Courses Report. The RTO may request (through the SVTS Enquiry function) the Department to add a VET course or qualification to the Funded Courses Report. Private copyright courses will only be considered for inclusion where relevant course documentation is provided to the Department. The Department will not be liable to make any payment to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual to the extent that the training or assessment they received was carried out by a person who was not at all relevant times a VTG Teacher. Subject to Clauses 12.1, 12.9, 12.13, 12.18 12.19 and 14 of this Schedule 1, the Department will pay the RTO Contact Hour Funds for scheduled hours of training and assessment reported under this Schedule 1 as having been delivered to Eligible Individuals. Subject to Clauses 12.1, 12.9, 12.13, 12.18 and 12.19 of this Schedule 1, the Department will only pay the RTO Contact Hour Funds for scheduled hours of training and assessment reported as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) if the RTO is approved by the Department, or authorised agents of the Department, to be funded for RPL delivery under the RPL Approved Provider List. For Eligible Individuals, the Department will pay the RTO Contact Hour Funds at the hourly rate per scheduled hour as identified in Clause 12.7 of this Schedule 1. The hourly rate per scheduled hour is based on either the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ field of the Funded Courses Report as published on the SVTS as relevant. The hourly rate per scheduled hour takes into account the applicable payment year, course commencement date and enrolment type (non-apprenticeship or apprenticeship), and adjusted (if applicable) as follows: By a student loading being either or both of the following two: For Eligible Individuals who self-identify as being of Aboriginal or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander descent (and are reported as such through the “Indigenous Student Identifier” field of the Student Statistical Report) by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.5; and For Eligible Individuals aged 15-19 years as at 1 January in the year of commencement of training without a senior secondary certificate or an accredited qualification at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) II or above, and eligible for a concession in accordance with Clauses 3.7 and 3.8 of the Guidelines about Fees, by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.3; and/or By a regional loading whereby the relevant ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for units/modules delivered in non-metropolitan locations to Eligible Individuals will be adjusted by the Department by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.1. Training will be considered to be in a non-metropolitan location if the postcode of the training delivery location identified in the NAT000120 file is one of the postcodes identified as “non-metropolitan” on the Regional Postcodes Report as published on SVTS. The Regional Postcodes Report is subject to change at any time. The Regional Loading does not apply to online delivery or to distance education. Delivery will be deemed to have been delivered online or via distance education if: the postcode of the training delivery location identified in the NAT000120 file is “VIC” or "OSPC"; or the Delivery Mode Identifier in the NAT00120 file in the Student Statistical Report is “20” (electronic based) or “40” (Other); and/or By an RPL adjustment whereby the relevant ‘RPL Subsidy’ will be reduced by the Department for Eligible Individuals assessed through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for units in courses, by multiplying the ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by the ‘RPL Adjustment’ (as identified on the Funded Courses Report). Payment of Contact Hour Funds for RPL is subject to the RTO being approved by the Department to be funded for RPL delivery under the RPL Approved Provider List. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments outlined in Clause 12.7 (a), (b) and (c) of this Schedule 1, will be used as multipliers of the relevant ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ in determining the Contact Hour Funds paid for an Eligible Individual. RPL undertaken as part of a government subsidised enrolment in a Foundation Skills List course, the Certificate I in Vocational Preparation, or RPL undertaken by an RTO not on the RPL Approved Provider List, will not be funded by the Department under the VET Funding Contract. If the RTO is on the RPL Approved Provider List, RPL will be paid based on the scheduled hours up to the nominal hours per unit of competency or module in accordance with Clause 12.7 (c) of this Schedule 1. Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) will not be funded by the Department under the VET Funding Contract. Payments of Contact Hour Funds to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual by the Department under this Schedule 1 will be made monthly in arrears by the Department on the basis of Student Statistical Reports submitted by the RTO to the Department in accordance with the VET Funding Contract and on the understanding that the RTO has Evidence of Participation for each Eligible Individual in respect of which it is claiming payment. The act of lodging a Student Statistical Report by the RTO to the Department is considered a claim for payment. Evidence of Participation in respect of each Eligible Individual, for the purpose of payment of Contact Hour Funds by the Department under this Schedule 1, is required and must be in accordance with the types of evidence specified at Clause 10 of this Schedule 1. Contact Hour Funds paid by the Department to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual will be calculated at the unit of competency or module level, such that the scheduled hours reported will be spread over the number of months of scheduled delivery. The Department will pay the Contact Hour Funds to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual up to the Maximum Scheduled Hours per course or qualification as published on the Funded Courses Report. The RTO must ensure Student Statistical Reports to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS) reflect actual Training Services that are supported by Evidence of Participation. At a minimum, each monthly submission of Student Statistical Reports must include full details for all reportable training activity already delivered within the collection year. In particular Enrolment Activity Start Dates and Enrolment Activity End Dates must match the actual period of time within which Training Services occurred. The RTO must not make a claim for payment under this VET Funding Contract for the delivery of Training services that has not occurred at the time the claim is made, including but not limited to: reporting that a unit of competency/module has commenced, as indicated by the Enrolment Activity Start Date, prior to its actual commencement such that the RTO receives a full or partial payment for the unit prior to its commencing; and/or reporting that a unit of competency/module has been completed as indicated by the Enrolment Activity End Date, before it has actually been completed such that the RTO is paid in full for the unit of competency/module before it has been completed. Training Services to Eligible Individuals which are funded by the Department under this Schedule 1 must be reported by the RTO in accordance with the Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines against: Funding Source Identifier P for Eligible Individuals who are not under a referral form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier WTP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO with a Workers in Transition Program Letter and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier ASP for Eligible Individuals (Asylum Seekers and Victims of Human Trafficking) with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NGP for Eligible Individuals in the Guaranteed Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NSP for Eligible Individuals in the Secondary Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier AEP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO through the Automotive Supply Chain Training Initiative (or its successor) and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier SCP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO as retrenched employees and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier L for Eligible Individuals who are not under a referral form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier WTL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO with a Workers in Transition Program Letter, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier ASL for Eligible Individuals (Asylum Seekers and Victims of Human Trafficking) with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NGL for Eligible Individuals in the Guaranteed Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NSL for Eligible Individuals in the Secondary Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier AEL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO through the Automotive Supply Chain Training Initiative (or its successor), and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier SCL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO as retrenched employees and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees). The RTO must identify all units of competency or modules relevant to the course or qualification in which an Eligible Individual is enrolled that have been attained by an individual as a result of previous formal training. The RTO is not eligible for Contact Hour Funds from the Department for the student contact hours associated with these units of competency or modules, and must report such units of competency/modules as Credit Transfer. In the event that an Eligible Individual withdraws from Training Services delivered under this Schedule 1 prior to achieving competency in an individual module or unit of competency, and the RTO has sufficient evidence of the student’s participation, the enrolment must be reported by the RTO as a withdrawal in all future Student Statistical Reports for the calendar year in accordance with the current Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines. In these instances, payment of Contact Hour Funds in respect of the individual by the Department for the individual module or unit of competency from which the individual withdrew will be made in accordance with the reported Hours Attended prior to withdrawal. In the event that an Eligible Individual withdraws from Training Services delivered under this Schedule 1 without participation, or where the RTO has insufficient evidence of the student’s participation, the RTO must either: exclude that student’s unit of competency/module from future Student Statistical Reports for the calendar year; or report the enrolment as a withdrawal with zero Hours Attended in all future Student Statistical Reports for the collection year in accordance with the current Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines, No payment is made from Contact Hour Funds in respect of withdrawals with no attendance. All withdrawals (Outcome Identifier – National Code “40”) must be reported within the year of the scheduled commencement in training and no later than two (2) months from the point of withdrawal, unless extenuating circumstances prevent this from occurring (or by the final data submission date for the collection year as advised by the Department, whichever is earliest). For the avoidance of doubt, the point of withdrawal is either: the date of formal withdrawal; or in the case of no formal withdrawal, the date of the last engagement. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds, and the RTO must not make a claim for any Funds in respect of any training or assessment provided to an Eligible Individual that is inconsistent with the packaging rules or vocational intent of the course, as specified in the endorsed Training Package or accredited course documentation. If in the Department’s view: the RTO has claimed Funds contrary to Clause 12.21; and the RTO has another course on its Funded Scope that would meet the needs of the Eligible Individual(s); and

Government Subsidy. The Department will only make payment of Funds (as calculated in accordance with this Clause 12 13 of this Schedule 1) for Training Services delivered to Eligible Individuals for currently endorsed courses and qualifications as identified on the Funded Courses Report as published on the SVTS and which are on the RTO’s Funded Scope. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of Funds will only be made where the Course Commencement Date for the relevant course or qualification: falls within a period where the “Is Approved For Funding” status on the RTO’s Funded Scope Report is “Approved” (where the period is defined by the relevant “Start Date” and “End Date” in the Report); and falls within the “Effective for CCD from” and “Effective for CCD to” dates for the course as identified in the Funded Courses Report. The RTO may request (through the SVTS Enquiry function) the Department to add a VET course or qualification to the Funded Courses Report. Private copyright courses will only be considered for inclusion where relevant course documentation is provided to the Department. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds, and the RTO must not make a claim for any Funds in respect of any training or assessment provided to an Eligible Individual, where the course or qualification being claimed for is: on the Funded Scope of the RTO; and on the Funded Scope of another registered training organisation with a VET Funding Contract that is party to an RTO Group that the RTO is also party to. The Department will not be liable to make any payment to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual to the extent that the training or assessment they received was carried out by a person who was not at all relevant times a VTG Teacher. The RTO Commencement Limit is determined by the Department and applies from the Commencement Date to 31 December 2016. The RTO Commencement Limit may be amended at the absolute discretion of the Department from time to time. The RTO Commencement Limit is initially 1000. The Department may vary the RTO Commencement Limit at any time in its absolute discretion. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds in respect of any commencements in excess of the RTO Commencement Limit. If the RTO receives any amount of Funds in relation to the enrolment of an individual, a commencement is deemed to have occurred for the purpose of the RTO Commencement Limit, even if the payment of Funds is subsequently reversed, refunded or otherwise repaid to the Department for any reason. Where the RTO submits a claim for payment of Funds for two or more commencements for which Funds have not previously been paid, and payment in respect of those commencements would cause the RTO Commencement Limit to be exceeded, the Department may determine in its sole discretion the part of the claims it will pay Funds for, and the part of the claims it will not pay Funds for, such that the RTO Commencement Limit will not be exceeded.

Evidence of Participation in respect of each Eligible Individual, for the purpose of payment of Contact Hour Funds by the Department under this Schedule 1, is required and must be in accordance with the types of evidence specified at Clause 10 of this Schedule 1. Contact Hour Funds paid by the Department to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual will be calculated at the unit of competency or module level, such that the scheduled hours reported will be spread over the number of months of scheduled delivery. The Department will pay the Contact Hour Funds to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual up to the Maximum Scheduled Hours per course or qualification as published on the Funded Courses Report. The RTO must ensure Student Statistical Reports to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS) reflect actual Training Services that are supported by Evidence of Participation. At a minimum, each monthly submission of Student Statistical Reports must include full details for all reportable training activity already delivered within the collection year. In particular Enrolment Activity Start Dates and Enrolment Activity End Dates must match the actual period of time within which Training Services occurred. The RTO must not make a claim for payment under this VET Funding Contract for the delivery of Training services that has not occurred at the time the claim is made, including but not limited to: reporting that a unit of competency/module has commenced, as indicated by the Enrolment Activity Start Date, prior to its actual commencement such that the RTO receives a full or partial payment for the unit prior to its commencing; and/or reporting that a unit of competency/module has been completed as indicated by the Enrolment Activity End Date, before it has actually been completed such that the RTO is paid in full for the unit of competency/module before it has been completed. Training Services to Eligible Individuals which are funded by the Department under this Schedule 1 must be reported by the RTO in accordance with the Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines against: Funding Source Identifier P for Eligible Individuals who are not under a referral form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier WTP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO with a Workers in Transition Program Letter and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier ASP for Eligible Individuals (Asylum Seekers and Victims of Human Trafficking) with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NGP for Eligible Individuals in the Guaranteed Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NSP for Eligible Individuals in the Secondary Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier AEP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO through the Automotive Supply Chain Training Initiative (or its successor) and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier SCP for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO as retrenched employees and who are not under a contract of training (i.e. not apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier L for Eligible Individuals who are not under a referral form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier WTL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO with a Workers in Transition Program Letter, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier ASL for Eligible Individuals (Asylum Seekers and Victims of Human Trafficking) with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NGL for Eligible Individuals in the Guaranteed Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier NSL for Eligible Individuals in the Secondary Access Cohort under the Single and Teenage Parents Training Initiative with a Referral Form, and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier AEL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO through the Automotive Supply Chain Training Initiative (or its successor), and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees); or Funding Source Identifier SCL for Eligible Individuals who are referred to the RTO as retrenched employees and who are under a contract of training (i.e. apprentices/trainees). The RTO must identify all units of competency or modules relevant to the course or qualification in which an Eligible Individual is enrolled that have been attained by an individual as a result of previous formal training. The RTO is not eligible for Contact Hour Funds from the Department for the student contact hours associated with these units of competency or modules, and must report such units of competency/modules as Credit Transfer. In the event that an Eligible Individual withdraws from Training Services delivered under this Schedule 1 prior to achieving competency in an individual module or unit of competency, and the RTO has sufficient evidence of the student’s participation, the enrolment must be reported by the RTO as a withdrawal in all future Student Statistical Reports for the calendar year in accordance with the current Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines. In these instances, payment of Contact Hour Funds in respect of the individual by the Department for the individual module or unit of competency from which the individual withdrew will be made in accordance with the reported Hours Attended prior to withdrawal. In the event that an Eligible Individual withdraws from Training Services delivered under this Schedule 1 without participation, or where the RTO has insufficient evidence of the student’s participation, the RTO must either: exclude that student’s unit of competency/module from future Student Statistical Reports for the calendar year; or report the enrolment as a withdrawal with zero Hours Attended in all future Student Statistical Reports for the collection year in accordance with the current Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines, No payment is made from Contact Hour Funds in respect of withdrawals with no attendance. All withdrawals (Outcome Identifier – National Code “40”) must be reported within the year of the scheduled commencement in training and no later than two (2) months from the point of withdrawal, unless extenuating circumstances prevent this from occurring (or by the final data submission date for the collection year as advised by the Department, whichever is earliest). For the avoidance of doubt, the point of withdrawal is either: the date of formal withdrawal; or in the case of no formal withdrawal, the date of the last engagement. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds, and the RTO must not make a claim for any Funds in respect of any training or assessment provided to an Eligible Individual that is inconsistent with the packaging rules or vocational intent of the course, as specified in the endorsed Training Package or accredited course documentation. If in the Department’s view: the RTO has claimed Funds contrary to Clause 12.21; and the RTO has another course on its Funded Scope that would meet the needs of the Eligible Individual(s); and1.3.

Government Subsidy. The Department will only make payment of Funds (as calculated in accordance with this Clause 12 13 of this Schedule 1) for Training Services delivered to Eligible Individuals for currently endorsed courses and qualifications as identified on the Funded Courses Report as published on the SVTS and which are on the RTO’s Funded Scope. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of Funds will only be made where the Course Commencement Date for the relevant course or qualification: falls within a period where the “Is Approved For Funding” status on the RTO’s Funded Scope Report is “Approved” (where the period is defined by the relevant “Start Date” and “End Date” in the Report); and falls within the “Effective for CCD from” and “Effective for CCD to” dates for the course as identified in the Funded Courses Report. The RTO may request (through the SVTS Enquiry function) the Department to add a VET course or qualification to the Funded Courses Report. Private copyright courses will only be considered for inclusion where relevant course documentation is provided to the Department. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds, and the RTO must not make a claim for any Funds in respect of any training or assessment provided to an Eligible Individual, where the course or qualification being claimed for is: on the Funded Scope of the RTO; and on the Funded Scope of another registered training organisation with a VET Funding Contract that is party to an RTO Group that the RTO is also party to. The Department will not be liable to make any payment to the RTO in respect of an Eligible Individual to the extent that the training or assessment they received was carried out by a person who was not at all relevant times a VTG Teacher. The RTO Commencement Limit is determined by the Department and applies from the Commencement Date to 31 December 2016. The RTO Commencement Limit may be amended at the absolute discretion of the Department from time to time. The RTO Commencement Limit is 200. The Department may vary the RTO Commencement Limit at any time in its absolute discretion. The Department will not be liable to pay any Funds in respect of any commencements in excess of the RTO Commencement Limit. If the RTO receives any amount of Funds in relation to the enrolment of an individual, a commencement is deemed to have occurred for the purpose of the RTO Commencement Limit, even if the payment of Funds is subsequently reversed, refunded or otherwise repaid to the Department for any reason. Where the RTO submits a claim for payment of Funds for two or more commencements for which Funds have not previously been paid, and payment in respect of those commencements would cause the RTO Commencement Limit to be exceeded, the Department may determine in its sole discretion the part of the claims it will pay Funds for, and the part of the claims it will not pay Funds for, such that the RTO Commencement Limit will not be exceeded. The Department will not be liable to make payment to the RTO in respect of claims for funding for any Training Services relating to courses or qualifications on the High Risk Qualifications List. Subject to Clauses 12.113.1, 12.913.16, 12.1313.21, 12.18 12.19 13.25, 13.26 and 14 15 of this Schedule 1, the Department will pay the RTO Contact Hour Funds for scheduled hours of training and assessment reported under this Schedule 1 as having been delivered to Eligible Individuals.

For Eligible Individuals, the Department will pay the RTO Contact Hour Funds at the hourly rate per scheduled hour as identified in Clause 12.7 13.14 of this Schedule 1. The hourly rate per scheduled hour is based on either the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ field of the Funded Courses Report as published on the SVTS as relevant. The hourly rate per scheduled hour takes into account the applicable payment year, course commencement date and enrolment type (non-apprenticeship or apprenticeship), and adjusted (if applicable) as follows: By a student loading being either or both of the following two: For Eligible Individuals who self-identify as being of Aboriginal or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander descent (and are reported as such through the “Indigenous Student Identifier” field of the Student Statistical Report) by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.5; and For Eligible Individuals aged 15-19 years as at 1 January in the year of commencement of training without a senior secondary certificate or an accredited qualification at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) II or above, and eligible for a concession in accordance with Clauses 3.7 and 3.8 of the Guidelines about Fees, by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.3; and/or By a regional loading whereby the relevant ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for units/modules delivered in non-metropolitan locations to Eligible Individuals will be adjusted by the Department by multiplying the ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by 1.1. Training will be considered to be in a non-metropolitan location if the postcode of the training delivery location identified in the NAT000120 file is one of the postcodes identified as “non-metropolitan” on the Regional Postcodes Report as published on SVTS. The Regional Postcodes Report is subject to change at any time. The Regional Loading does not apply to online delivery or to distance education. Delivery will be deemed to have been delivered online or via distance education if: the postcode of the training delivery location identified in the NAT000120 file is “VIC” or "OSPC"; or the Delivery Mode Identifier in the NAT00120 file in the Student Statistical Report is “20” (electronic based) or “40” (Other); and/or By an RPL adjustment whereby the relevant ‘RPL Subsidy’ will be reduced by the Department for Eligible Individuals assessed through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for units in courses, by multiplying the ‘RPL Subsidy’ for the course by the ‘RPL Adjustment’ (as identified on the Funded Courses Report). Payment of Contact Hour Funds for RPL is subject to the RTO being approved by the Department to be funded for RPL delivery under the RPL Approved Provider List. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments outlined in Clause 12.7 13.14 (a), (b) and (c) of this Schedule 1), will be used as multipliers of the relevant ‘Subsidy’ or ‘RPL Subsidy’ in determining the Contact Hour Funds paid for an Eligible Individual. RPL undertaken as part of a government subsidised enrolment in a Foundation Skills List course, the Certificate I in Vocational Preparation, or RPL undertaken by an RTO not on the RPL Approved Provider List, will not be funded by the Department under the VET Funding Contract. If the RTO is on the RPL Approved Provider List, RPL will be paid based on the scheduled hours up to the nominal hours per unit of competency or module in accordance with Clause 12.7 13.14 (c) of this Schedule 1. Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) will not be funded by the Department under the VET Funding Contract.
