Legislation and Rulings

You should know relevant legislation that affects any programs within your range of activities (e.g. rights and obligations of an RTO). Many of these requirements are built into ACAS policies. For more detail, see the legislation itself:
WA: www.slp.wa.gov.au or www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/wa/consol_act/
Commonwealth: http://www.comlaw.gov.au or www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act

This page will probably evolve in several ways:
• Much compliance is increasingly at a national level (e.g. ASQA, OHS).
• We might need to monitor state-based legislation more separately.
• We might need to monitor obligations in other countries (e.g. China, Indonesia).
