What you need to enrol
You may need to provide evidence as part of your enrolment. Having your documents ready can help make the process quicker and easier.
The documents required may vary depending on your course, citizenship or residency status, age, concession eligibility and personal circumstances.
A Unique Student Identifier, also known as a USI, is required for students undertaking nationally recognised training in Australia.
Your USI is created once and stays with you throughout your education and training journey. It helps keep a secure record of your nationally recognised training and qualifications.
If you do not already have a USI, we recommend creating or locating it before completing your enrolment.
You may need to provide evidence of Australian citizenship, permanent residency or your current visa subclass status.
This may include documents such as a passport, birth certificate, citizenship certificate, Medicare card or visa documentation, depending on your circumstances.
You may need to provide proof that you live in Western Australia.
This may include evidence such as a Western Australian driver’s licence, concession card, utility bill or other approved documentation showing your name and residential address.
You may need to provide proof of age as part of your enrolment.
If you are under 18 and do not have a driver’s licence, you may need to provide another form of identification such as a student card, birth certificate or passport. Proof of residency from a parent or guardian may also be required.
If you are eligible for a concession rate, you may need to provide current concession evidence before your fees can be adjusted.
Concession evidence must be current and provided before the required enrolment or payment deadline.
If the name on your documents is different from the name you are enrolling under, you may need to provide evidence of your name change.
This helps ensure your student record is accurate and matches your official documentation.
Documents provided during enrolment are treated as confidential and stored securely against your student record.
If you are unsure which documents you need to provide, please contact us before submitting your enrolment information.
Making an informed choice
Before enrolling, it is important to make sure the course is the right fit for your goals, skills and circumstances.
Many course pages include informed choices information to help you understand the expectations, skills and requirements of the course. Reviewing this information can help you decide whether the course is right for you and whether you may need support to participate successfully.
If you think you may experience challenges related to disability, health, mental health, learning needs or personal circumstances, support is available. We encourage you to discuss your options with your lecturer or the appropriate support team before you begin your studies. If you determine that a course is not the right fit for your circumstances, skills or career goals, there may be other training pathways available. Our Contact Centre can help you explore alternative options that align with your interests and aspirations.
