At its meeting on 2 August 2010, the NSW Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board (VETAB) endorsed the new Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial Registration and the new AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing Registration (the new AQTF).

The new AQTF will be implemented in NSW as from 1 September 2010. All applications for Initial Registration as an RTO in NSW which are received by VETAB on or after 1 September 2010 will be audited against the new AQTF  Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial Registration.
