c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 23: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 24: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Page 25: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

m) A Fees Refund is calculated as the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students in excess of the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

n) A Fees Credit will apply if the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students is less than the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET FOR GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in government schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol. VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in government schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context.

Profile funding for VET in government schools is subject to the following conditions:

a) the students must be enrolled at a government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider; d) the total reported VET in government schools delivery is within the ceiling

stated in Table 2; e) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular

vocational program and an understanding of the requirements; f) the training effort is consistent with:

• the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities;

g) VET in government schools is not to include delivery in courses or

qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted:

• Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and

• Certificate I in Leadership Development;

h) VET in government schools is not to include delivery at certificate I or II in the following industry groups;

16A Accounting and Other Business Services; 16C Office and Clerical; and 17A Computing.

Note that delivery within the following categories is over and above the ceiling on VET in government schools:

• School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBA and SBT); • School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) delivery; and • delivery to a student enrolled under a Notice of Arrangement.

Page 28: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central TAFE

Page 27

Profile funded VET in government schools delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS and student enrolments must be flagged as VET in Schools enrolments as follows:

Type of Student Training Type VIS Flag* Included in VIS Ceiling

Vet for Schools O Y Yes

*Please note the VIS Flag is a derived field and is set to Y where enrolment type = VS or the Enrolled School id is present.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships training: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both public and private schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery

targets established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-

based Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based Apprenticeship and Traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS and student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Type of Student Training Type VIS Flag* Included in VIS Ceiling

School-based Apprenticeship A Y No

School-based Traineeship T Y No

* Please note the VIS Flag is a derived field and is set to Y where enrolment type = VS or the Enrolled School id is present.

SCHEDULE 6 SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP LINK

The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL Family of Trades is a one year program delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and provides the opportunity for year 11 and 12 students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them make an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

SAL Family of Trades placements funded at each college are determined by the Department of Education and Training. The Department allocates funded places for both Government and non-Government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL Family of Trades delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS and student enrolments must be codes as follows:

Type of Student Course Training Type VIS Flag* Included in

VIS Ceiling

School Apprenticeship Link – Family of

Trades

Appropriate SAL qualification P Y No

*Please note the VIS Flag is a derived field and is set to Y where enrolment type = VS or the Enrolled School id is present.

It is important that student enrolments in the SAL Family of Trades program are correctly coded so that this delivery is not counted as VET for Government Schools delivery. Consistent with the Fees Policy, no fees or charges, including resource and course fees are to be applied to students enrolled in profile funded SAL programs.

SCHEDULE 7 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

This policy applies to all publicly funded RPL assessments.

Policy: 1. The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL

assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery. The permissible level of Unsuccessful RPL delivery is set out in Table 2.

2. Under the Fees and Charges Policy Guidelines, students are required to make a financial contribution towards their first 365 SCH of RPL assessments each semester.

3. This amount of RPL will generally be sufficient to enable clients to commence the skills enhancement program of their choice.

4. To accommodate exceptional circumstances, the Minister will provide funding for a maximum of 800 SCH of RPL assessments per client each year.

5. Fee for Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a RPL process is to:

SECTION III TRAINING DELIVERY

7. Student Service Standards

a) For the Training Services described in Schedule 1, the Provider:

i will ensure that students are given appropriate guidance in relation to the selection of units of competency and that meets the students expected outcomes from the program of study;

ii will ensure that training delivery is consistent with Training Package guidelines, including meeting the criteria for the awarding of qualifications;

iii will ensure that the level of resources, including the actual hours of instruction or other supervised learning modes, that is provided to students reflects the content of the program of study and allows for a successful outcome; and

iv will ensure students enrolling in a course of study outside of the normal full-time admissions process comply with the minimum entrance requirements policy.

8. Training Packages

a) Unless otherwise agreed, where:

i a Training Package has been approved for public funding in Western Australia, and

ii the Purchasing Guide (formerly known as Implementation Guide) for the Training Package indicates that the Package covers one or more of the Training Services in Schedule 1,

the Provider must use only qualifications from this Training Package when providing those Training Services to new students.

b) Existing students studying superseded courses should be encouraged to transfer into the equivalent training package qualification as soon as possible. Existing students must be given the option to complete the course or qualification in which they are currently enrolled if transition to the new or equivalent qualification will cause disadvantage in increased nominal hours or cost. New students must be enrolled in the new or equivalent training package qualification within 12 months of final endorsement, provided that a Purchasing Guide is available for implementing the training package. If this requirement cannot be met, approval must be obtained to continue delivering the superseded course or qualification.

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 72: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central West TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 73: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Central West TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 124: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Challenger TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 125: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Challenger TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Page 126: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Challenger TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

m) A Fees Refund is calculated as the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students in excess of the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

n) A Fees Credit will apply if the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students is less than the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 9

DEFENCE INDUSTRIES SKILLS UNIT The Skilling WA’s Defence Industry Taskforce was formed to identify strategies to provide a sustainable skilled workforce for the defence industry. A key recommendation of the Taskforce was to create a Defence Industry Skills Unit (DISU) within Challenger TAFE’s structure to continue and extend the initiatives commenced by the Taskforce. This Unit will be accommodated within the Australian Marine Complex at Henderson and be a visible centre of contact for the defence industry on education and training matters. The Unit will work closely with industry to support the take-up of apprentices to address the potential shortfall in tradespeople, identified by the Taskforce. In addition it will serve to build cooperative links between industry and schools/universities.

Funding will be provided for the actual establishment and operating costs of the DISU in 2007 and 2008 up to a total value of $935 823 (inclusive of GST). Based on the initial budget for the DISU it is estimated that $565 878 of funding will be required in 2007 and $369 945 in 2008. These funds will be released quarterly in; September 2007, December 2007, March 2008, June 2008, September 2008 and December 2008 on submission of a College invoice together with a signed acquittal statement of actual expenditure. The final payment in December 2008 is subject to the submission of a report describing the establishment of the Unit and the activities that have been undertaken to support the skill development of the defence industry workforce. The report is to include statistics on industry contacts and achievements in facilitating increased training for the defence industry. The continuation of funding in 2009 and for future years will depend on an annual assessment of the performance of the Unit and its operating requirements.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 174: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Curtin University

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 175: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Curtin University

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET FOR GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in government schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol. VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in government schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context.

Profile funding for VET in government schools is subject to the following conditions:

a) the students must be enrolled at a government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider; d) the total reported VET in government schools delivery is within the ceiling

stated in Table 2; e) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular

vocational program and an understanding of the requirements; f) the training effort is consistent with:

• the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities;

g) VET in government schools is not to include delivery in courses or

qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted:

• Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and

• Certificate I in Leadership Development;

h) VET in government schools is not to include delivery at certificate I or II in the following industry groups;

16A Accounting and Other Business Services; 16C Office and Clerical; and 17A Computing.

Note that delivery within the following categories is over and above the ceiling on VET in government schools:

• School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBA and SBT); • School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) delivery; and • delivery to a student enrolled under a Notice of Arrangement.

Page 179: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Curtin University

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 224: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and CY O'Connor College of TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 225: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and CY O'Connor College of TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Achievement against these Performance Indicators will be derived from reported delivery data.

ADMINISTRATION AND REPORTING The Provider will report all training delivery through the project under fund source code 12 (CMIS fund source code Q) with a contract id of “SHEAR08” at the times and in the format defined in Schedule 3. Training to students of Agricultural Colleges is not to be reported under this project. FUNDING The Department will provide a total of $165 000 for the delivery of 16 500 SCH (Target SCH) in 2008. Where the Provider does not achieve the Target SCH, a refund shall be payable at the rate of $10 per SCH for the difference between reported and target SCH. No additional funding shall be provided for delivery in excess of the Target SCH. All training delivery through the project will be excluded from Reported SCH for the purposes of calculating the refund in Schedule 2.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 274: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Great Southern TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 275: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Great Southern TAFE

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Profile funded VET in government schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context.

Profile funding for VET in government schools is subject to the following conditions:

a) the students must be enrolled at a government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider; d) the total reported VET in government schools delivery is within the ceiling

stated in Table 2; e) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular

vocational program and an understanding of the requirements; f) the training effort is consistent with:

• the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities;

g) VET in government schools is not to include delivery in courses or

qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted:

• Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and

• Certificate I in Leadership Development;

h) VET in government schools is not to include delivery at certificate I or II in the following industry groups;

16A Accounting and Other Business Services; 16C Office and Clerical; and 17A Computing.

Note that delivery within the following categories is over and above the ceiling on VET in government schools:

• School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBA and SBT); • School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) delivery; and • delivery to a student enrolled under a Notice of Arrangement.

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

Page 326: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Kimberley TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 327: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Kimberley TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Kimberley TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

It is important that student enrolments in the SAL Family of Trades program are correctly coded so that this delivery is not counted as VET for Government Schools delivery. Consistent with the Fees Policy, no fees or charges, including resource and course fees are to be applied to students enrolled in profile funded SAL programs.

SCHEDULE 7 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

This policy applies to all publicly funded RPL assessments.

Policy: 1. The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL

assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery. The permissible level of Unsuccessful RPL delivery is set out in Table 2.

2. Under the Fees and Charges Policy Guidelines, students are required to make a financial contribution towards their first 365 SCH of RPL assessments each semester.

3. This amount of RPL will generally be sufficient to enable clients to commence the skills enhancement program of their choice.

4. To accommodate exceptional circumstances, the Minister will provide funding for a maximum of 800 SCH of RPL assessments per client each year.

5. Fee for Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a RPL process is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

SCHEDULE 8 INNOVATION STRATEGY

FUNDING Innovation Strategy funding will be allocated in accordance with existing arrangements for disbursement through the DPA. Where relevant, any capital and curriculum funding will be disbursed through a separate process. VARIATIONS The Provider agrees to undertake a project or projects as outlined in its TAFEWA Innovation Proposal(s). Any changes to the project outlined in the proposal (including project reporting and completion dates, budget line-items and amounts), must be agreed by the Minister in writing. INFORMATION SHARING Providers are encouraged to share information on their TAFEWA Innovation Project(s) and may be required to make a presentation regarding progress or outcomes. Additionally, the Minister may provide general information on specific projects to the TAFEWA network to encourage further innovation in the vocational education and training sector. MONITORING AND REPORTING ARRANGEMENTS Mid-Term Progress Report A Mid-Term Progress Report should be submitted in the form of an email in the middle of each project, or at a time agreed by the Minister in writing. The Mid-Term Progress Report must identify the project’s progress against the project outcomes and associated key performance indicators. Project Site Visits The Provider’s project coordinator(s) may be required to meet with the Minister’s representative during the course of the project. Final Report, Project Acquittal and Evaluation A Final Report must be submitted to the Minister within 2 weeks of completion of each project. The Final Report must be submitted as a hard-copy and address the project outcomes and key performance indicators outlined in the project proposal. Each Final Report must include an acquittal of project funds, using the budget line-items and amounts contained in the proposal budget. The Final Report must be accompanied by a statement signed by the Managing Director of the College indicating that the funding has been expended as outlined in the Project Acquittal. The Provider may be required to return excess funds as part of the refund process defined in Schedule 2.

Additionally, all projects must be evaluated on completion, and the evaluation document must be submitted as an attachment to the Final Report. The evaluation must include:

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Kimberley TAFE

Page 32

1. Feedback from clients (e.g. staff or students or collaborating organisations). Such feedback may be formal and structured (e.g. solicited using a questionnaire) or unstructured and informal (e.g. collected during discussions with relevant parties).

2. Conclusions regarding the outcomes of the project (including what worked and what did not).

3. Recommendations regarding any changes to the innovative initiative that will result in the following:

• better client service; • sustained benefits for the Provider; • relevance and/or applicability to other areas of the Provider’s operation; and • improved applicability to other organisations, communities, training providers

and/or the VET sector.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 374: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Pilbara TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET FOR GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in government schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol. VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in government schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context.

Profile funding for VET in government schools is subject to the following conditions:

a) the students must be enrolled at a government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider; d) the total reported VET in government schools delivery is within the ceiling

stated in Table 2; e) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular

vocational program and an understanding of the requirements; f) the training effort is consistent with:

• the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities;

g) VET in government schools is not to include delivery in courses or

qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted:

• Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and

• Certificate I in Leadership Development;

h) VET in government schools is not to include delivery at certificate I or II in the following industry groups;

16A Accounting and Other Business Services; 16C Office and Clerical; and 17A Computing.

Note that delivery within the following categories is over and above the ceiling on VET in government schools:

• School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBA and SBT); • School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) delivery; and • delivery to a student enrolled under a Notice of Arrangement.

Page 379: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Pilbara TAFE

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships training: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both public and private schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery

targets established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-

based Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based Apprenticeship and Traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS and student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Type of Student Training Type VIS Flag* Included in VIS Ceiling

School-based Apprenticeship A Y No

School-based Traineeship T Y No

* Please note the VIS Flag is a derived field and is set to Y where enrolment type = VS or the Enrolled School id is present.

SCHEDULE 6 SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP LINK

The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL Family of Trades is a one year program delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and provides the opportunity for year 11 and 12 students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them make an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

SAL Family of Trades placements funded at each college are determined by the Department of Education and Training. The Department allocates funded places for both Government and non-Government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL Family of Trades delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS and student enrolments must be codes as follows:

Type of Student Course Training Type VIS Flag* Included in

VIS Ceiling

School Apprenticeship Link – Family of

Trades

Appropriate SAL qualification P Y No

*Please note the VIS Flag is a derived field and is set to Y where enrolment type = VS or the Enrolled School id is present.

It is important that student enrolments in the SAL Family of Trades program are correctly coded so that this delivery is not counted as VET for Government Schools delivery. Consistent with the Fees Policy, no fees or charges, including resource and course fees are to be applied to students enrolled in profile funded SAL programs.

SCHEDULE 7 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

This policy applies to all publicly funded RPL assessments.

Policy: 1. The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL

assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery. The permissible level of Unsuccessful RPL delivery is set out in Table 2.

2. Under the Fees and Charges Policy Guidelines, students are required to make a financial contribution towards their first 365 SCH of RPL assessments each semester.

3. This amount of RPL will generally be sufficient to enable clients to commence the skills enhancement program of their choice.

4. To accommodate exceptional circumstances, the Minister will provide funding for a maximum of 800 SCH of RPL assessments per client each year.

5. Fee for Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a RPL process is to:

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 423: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 424: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Page 425: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

m) A Fees Refund is calculated as the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students in excess of the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 472: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Swan TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 473: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Swan TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and Swan TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

m) A Fees Refund is calculated as the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students in excess of the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET FOR GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in government schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol. VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in government schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context.

Profile funding for VET in government schools is subject to the following conditions:

a) the students must be enrolled at a government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider; d) the total reported VET in government schools delivery is within the ceiling

stated in Table 2; e) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular

vocational program and an understanding of the requirements; f) the training effort is consistent with:

• the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities;

g) VET in government schools is not to include delivery in courses or

qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted:

• Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and

• Certificate I in Leadership Development;

h) VET in government schools is not to include delivery at certificate I or II in the following industry groups;

16A Accounting and Other Business Services; 16C Office and Clerical; and 17A Computing.

Note that delivery within the following categories is over and above the ceiling on VET in government schools:

• School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBA and SBT); • School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) delivery; and • delivery to a student enrolled under a Notice of Arrangement.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advance Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2009.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister calculated as:

Total Refund

= Shortfall Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

• Employment Based Training (EBT);

Page 521: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and West Coast TAFE

Page 22

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional(GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for each category of delivery is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for Employment Based Training delivery and Institutional Based Training delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for Employment Based Training is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Employment Based Training against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Employment Based Training. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Employment Based Training delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Employment Based Training delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

Page 522: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and West Coast TAFE

Page 23

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no General Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6; and

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 20,000 SCH.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Any RPL assessment per client each year above 800 SCH;

ii VET for government schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

iii VET for government school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

iv IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

v Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider; and

vi Funding provided for Innovation Projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An adjustment is made to the Additional Items Refund to ensure that this refund is not calculated on SCH that has been excluded from Funded SCH under sub clause 3 h).

Page 523: 2008 DPA Template - Parliament of Western Australia

2008 Delivery and Performance Agreement Between the Minister for Education and Training and West Coast TAFE

Page 24

k) The Additional Items Refund may include funds provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures;

l) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

m) A Fees Refund is calculated as the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students in excess of the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement.
