The USI initiative has been developed jointly by the Australian and State and Territory governments in consultation with stakeholders. It is supported through Commonwealth legislation, including the Student Identifiers Bill 2014, the Student Identifiers Act 2014, and through a national information Communication Technology (ICT) system. Students have the option to directly apply for a USI ww.usi.gov.au or the RTO upon receiving approval from the student can apply on their behalf. Only students who have provided or been issued with a USI from 1st January 2015 can be issued a qualification or statement of attainment. If students do not have a USI no qualification or statement can be issued. NOTE: USI applies to VET awards only. A USI is not required for the issue of certificates. 2015 SHORT COURSE PROGRAMME 03
