Enrolment: frequently asked questions
When can I enrol?
Domestic students can enrol at any time. There are no set intakes, so you can start as soon as your enrolment is complete.
What do I need before I fill out my enrolment application form?
Have your Unique Student Identifier (USI) and your Working with Children Check (WWCC) ready, as you'll need both for your enrolment application form.
How do I get a USI?
You can create a Unique Student Identifier for free at usi.gov.au. It stays with you for life and records all your nationally recognised training.
Do I need to complete an LLND check?
If applicable, you'll complete a language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills (LLND) check and/or a pre-enrolment skills evaluation. It helps us make sure the course suits you and that we can support you from the start.
