Cleveland Education and Training Centre is committed to providing a safe, respectful and disciplined learning environment for students and staff, where students have opportunities to engage in quality learning experiences and acquire valuable support for their lifelong wellbeing.
To promote this ideology and achieve our goal, we have some policies that we enforce.
Complaints and appeals policy
As a registered training organisation (RTO), Cleveland Education and Training Centre has a vocational education and training (VET) complaints and appeals policy specific to its operations.
A complaint can be made to the school RTO regarding the conduct of:
- the school RTO
- trainers
- assessors
- other school RTO staff
- students of the RTO
- any third parties providing services on behalf of the school RTO (if relevant).
An appeal can be made to the school RTO to request a review of a decision, including the assessment of decisions. The school RTO will ensure that the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness are adopted at every stage of the complaints and appeals process. All formal complaints and appeals will be heard and decided on within 60 calendar days of receiving the written complaint or appeal.
If the school RTO considers more than 60 calendar days are required to process and finalise the complaint or appeal, the complainant or appellant will be informed of the reasons in writing and will be regularly updated on the progress of the matter.
If the processes fail to resolve the complaint or appeal, a review by an independent party will be provided if requested.
Complaints or appeals should be directed to the Principal as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the school RTO—principal@clevelandetc.eq.edu.au.
