Excerpt
nameHLS - Fact Sheet

The eligibility criteria for the Higher Level Skills program is set by the Department of Youth Justice, Employment, Small Business and Training (DYJESBTDESBT). To be eligible for government assistance, prospective students must meet and provide evidence for the following eligibility criteria:

  • Be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency*

  • Be a Queensland resident

  • Aged 15 years of age or older

  • Not hold a certificate IV level or higher qualification (not including qualifications completed at school and foundations skills training)**; and

  • Not be enrolled in another qualification, not including foundation skills training.

*This may include some humanitarian entrants or temporary residents with the necessary visa and work permit on the pathway to permanent residency. Contact Strategix for visa checks.

**There are cases where a student may still be eligible for funding:

  • A certificate IV qualification completed at secondary school and/or a Certificate level I to Advanced Diploma qualification issued prior to 1995 have no impact on eligibility for funding

  • To be eligible for funding under a Skill Set, students must not have completed the subjects that are included in the Skill Set/s, where they have not completed all subjects, they may only access funding for those subjects.

...

Where an AISS check result displays current enrolment in or completion of a Cert II or above, the administrative assistant must determine if the AISS result could possibly affect the student’s eligibility. Prior to sending it off for confirmation to compliance (who will request confirmation by DYJESBTDESBT).

The administrative assistant must access the department's “Priority Skills List” and check to see if the qualification in question is funded under VETiS (a price be displayed in the VETiS Column), and either:

  1. If the qualification is not funded through VETiS, continue with enrolment as it does not affect the student’s eligibility, or

  2. If the qualification is funded through VETiS funded, submit the student's name, date of birth and qualification in question (along with other students assessed on that day) to compliance. Compliance will correspond with DYJESBT DESBT who will advise if the student’s current enrolment or previously completed qualification was completed through VETiS funding or not. The response from DYJESBT DESBT will advise of the required action to be completed by the administrative assistant. A copy of the response is to be retained as evidence.
