Code of Conduct

Djaringo students are required to uphold a certain code of conduct. A list of these expectations can be found on the Student Code of Conduct agreement form. Students are required to sign the form and return it to Djaringo in acknowledgement of their agreement.

Unique Student Identifier

As of 1 January 2015, every student studying in Australia must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Your USI will remain with you for life and will collate information on your VET achievements regardless of where you study. Students can create a USI by logging onto www.usi.gov.au, prior to attending training or they may authorise Djaringo to create a USI on their behalf.

Literacy and Numeracy

Djaringo is committed to assisting students with differing learning abilities to succeed.

Students’ individual needs will be assessed at enrolment via a language, literacy and numeracy assessment. Requirements such as alternative formats, adaptive technology and adjustments for other disabilities will be identified and provided where practicable.

Should you require any special assistance such as literacy or numeracy help, disability access or other physical or learning needs, please inform your trainer, or the RTO administration staff.

Some training courses demand a high level of literacy and numeracy to successfully complete. Please discuss any concerns about the levels required for specific training programs and work projects.

Student Records and Privacy

Djaringo treats all personal records of clients confidentially and in accordance with the Privacy Act. As a Registered Training Organisation we must collect and report certain information to the national VET regulator, Department of Training and Workforce Development and other government agencies. This includes your name, address, telephone number, email address, drivers licence details, including the additional information:

  • Unique Student Identifier Number

We keep enrolment forms, training schedules and records of your assessment on file stored confidentially. State and Federal government agencies and Djaringo will use the information gathered for statistical and reporting purposes.

Record Keeping Timeframes: We are required to retain certain information for a period of 30 years to allow us to reissue Certificates and Statements of Attainment. Depending on what type of training you attended and whether you enrolled in a government funded course will affect how long we keep copies of your assessment documentation, this timeframe can range from 6 months to 5 years. If you are unsure what you were enrolled in please contact the office and we will be able to confirm with you.
