Course Application - Fee Free TAFE -

Tranche 2 First Nations

The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a national government initiative for all students undertaking nationally recognised training from 1 January 2015.

If you are a new or continuing student undertaking nationally recognised training, you need a USI in order to receive your qualification or statement of attainment. If you do not have a USI, or do not provide your USI to us, you will not be able to receive your qualification or statement of attainment.

How do I apply for a USI?

Creating a USI will only take a few minutes and it is free. You can apply for your USI via the USI website at https://www.usi.gov.au/. You only need to create a USI once and it will stay with you for life.

In order to create your USI, you will need at least one form of ID such as an Australian Passport, Birth Certificate, Driver's Licence or Medicare Card. 

Find your USI

If you have undertaken nationally recognised training since 1 January 2015, you may already have a USI. You only ever need one USI. Just like a Tax File Number, it is unique to you and it is yours for life.

If you think you have a USI but can't remember it, please go to https://www.usi.gov.au/students/find-your-usi

I have honestly and accurately provided information contained on this enrolment form.  

I understand that any offer of enrolment into a training course will be withdrawn on the basis of false or misleading information contained within this enrolment form.    

I agree to attend all required training dates and if I am unable to, I will contact HITsa prior to the commencement of training to advise of my absence. 

I understand if I do not attend training and do not contact HITsa prior to the commencement of training all fees paid will be forfeited and it is at the discretion of HITsa to reschedule any missed training dates.

I understand the information provided on this enrolment form is collected for the purposes of registration, preparing statistics, reporting, contract and program monitoring.  It may be disclosed to and used for these purposes by Commonwealth and State Government departments and agencies including ASQA, employers, Apprenticeship Centres, Registered Training Organisations, Job Active agencies and non-government education authorities.  

It may otherwise be disclosed without consent where authorised or required by law.

I authorise HITsa Training and Employment to release and/or obtain information pertaining to my academic history as well as my attendance whilst attending training at HITsa.  This will include third parties such as Government, Job Service Agencies, other Registered Training Organisations and Centrelink.  I understand that I may withdraw this authorisation at any time by submitting a request to HITsa in writing.

If required, HITsa arranges work placement with our industry partners on behalf of the student. As it is a requirement of work placement to hold current National Police clearance and DHS Screening Checks (Aged care, Vulnerable person, NDIS, and Working with Children), students must obtain these checks prior to commencing any work placement. HITsa can provide advice and guidance on this process, but ultimately this will be the responsibility of the student to ensure these requirements are met. 

Whilst we at HITsa do our best to achieve this, please be mindful that any disclosable court outcomes could impact your ability to secure work placement and work within the industry in the future. If this is something that concerns you, please speak to our team.

I consent for HITsa Training and Employment (HITsa) to record my picture and voice on photographs, films and audio and videotapes, to edit these recordings at the discretion of HITsa Training and employment, and to incorporate these recordings into movie and sound films or audio and videotapes, webcast, streaming, broadcasts, (radio and television, including cable and satellite transmissions), programs or otherwise, to use in any manner of media whatsoever, including unrestricted use for purposes of publicity, advertising, and to use my name, likeness, or voice in connection therewith.

I hereby release HITsa from all claims for damages, for libel, slander, invasion of privacy or any other claim based on the use of the above-described materials.

I understand that the recordings are the exclusive property of HITsa and HITsa owns all rights to these recordings regardless of the form in which they are produced or used.

Further, I agree that I am not entitled to nor was I promised any compensation for the making of such recordings or their use.

I hereby authorise HITsa to use pictures and audio taken during my training as part of their marketing material and understand that these pictures may be used in brochures and/or Facebook or other social media.

I understand that I may withdraw this authorisation at any time, and this must be submitted to HITsa in writing.
