Announcements were made last week regarding the Government’s investment in ASQA and its role in strengthening integrity in the VET sector. Part of this is the establishment of a new integrity unit within ASQA and a VET tip-off line to prevent and disrupt illegal behaviour and the exploitation of vulnerable students.
The tip-off line, which is now live, provides a safe and confidential avenue for current and former students, staff and other potential whistleblowers (such as homestay hosts and employers of international students) to report, anonymously if they wish, alleged illegal and serious non-compliance activity.
The tip-off line will contribute to the wider targeted compliance operation, which is focused on assessing high-risk VET providers.
Anyone can make an anonymous report to the referral line (1300 644 844) and VET tip-off form on our website.
