TRAINING & SKILLS DEVELOPMENT ACT 2008

Key changes to the SA traineeship and apprenticeship system have arisen from the proclamation of the Training and Skills Development Act 2008, on 1 September 2008. Traineeship and Apprenticeship Services administers Part 4 of the Act (Apprenticeships/traineeships) under delegation from the Training and Skills Commission.

•  Faster training contract approvals, and a new employer registration process.
• Greater education and assistance for employers, trainees and apprentices, through consultants visiting workplaces to assess employers’ ability to train trainees and apprentices, and to monitor training arrangements.
• A simpler, faster dispute resolution process through the South Australian Industrial Relations Commission.
• More protection for trainees and apprentices.

• New employers must become a registered employer before they can enter into training contracts; the period of registration may be up to 5 years (currently approved employers will automatically receive 5 years registration and will be notified of this in the near future);

• TAS may place conditions on an employer’s registration, or may vary, suspend or cancel it, and an employer may appeal against such a decision to the District Court within 28 days of the decision;

• An employer may apply to vary their registration  (eg add trades and vocations to their scope) or cancel their registration;

• The SA Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) will deal with all grievances and disputes relating to training contracts; applications should be lodged within the term of the training contract or within 6 months after completion, expiry, termination or cancellation of the training contract;

• An employer must notify the IRC of a suspension of a trainee/apprentice for wilful and serious misconduct immediately by phoning the Industrial Registry, or by fax, email or personally attending the Registry, at the Riverside Centre, North Terrace, Adelaide, and must confirm the suspension in writing within 3 days;

• TAS will provide information and advice to employers, trainees and apprentices so they understand their legislative obligations, and have ample opportunity to comply with Part 4 of the TSD Act. However, where parties fail to comply with Part 4 of the TSD Act, they commit an offence. Matters will be investigated and may be dealt with in the following ways, depending on the circumstances in each case:
  • issuing a Letter of Warning, or an Expiation Caution, to identify the area of non-compliance and the need to comply with legislative requirements;
  • issuing a Compliance Notice, requiring compliance within a specified timeframe;
  • issuing an Expiation Notice requiring payment of an expiation fee of $315  to financially penalise those who remain non-compliant;
  • prosecution through the court system; in cases where the responsible party fails to comply with the legislation, after being given reasonable opportunity to do so, the matter will be taken to the Magistrates Court. A fine of up to $5000 may be imposed after prosecution.
  • cancelling, varying or suspending an employer's registration, or  placing conditions on an employer’s registration.
