St Ursula’s College Registered Training Organisation

(RTO Provider no: 30032)

St Ursula’s College, as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), has a complaints and appeals policy specific to its RTO operations.
A complaint can be made to the St Ursula’s College RTO regarding the conduct of:

  • St Ursula’s College RTO, its trainers, assessors or other St Ursula’s College RTO staff
  • students of the RTO
  • any third parties providing services on behalf of the St Ursula’s College RTO (if relevant).

Complaints may be made to any member of staff.
An appeal can be made to the St Ursula’s College RTO to request a review of a decision, including assessment decisions.
Appeals should be made to the trainer/assessor in the first instance, but can also be made to Heads of Department or the RTO Manager.
St Ursula’s College RTO will ensure that the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness are adopted at every stage of the complaints and appeals process.

  • Any staff member can receive a complaint or appeal.  Where possible, complaints are resolved immediately.
  • All complaints and appeals are heard and resolved within 60 calendar days of receipt.
  • If the St Ursula’s College RTO considers that more than 60 calendar days are required to process and finalise the complaint or appeal, the complainant or appellant will be informed of the reasons for the extended time-frame in writing and will be regularly updated on the progress of the matter.
  • St Ursula’s College RTO will maintain a secure Complaints and Appeals Register, documenting all complaints and appeals received, as well as actions taken and decisions made.
  • St Ursula’s College RTO will undertake a continuous improvement process that includes reviewing both the details in the Complaints and Appeals Register, and the complaints and appeals policy and procedures, and taking appropriate corrective action to eliminate or mitigate the likelihood of the same problems occurring again.
