Application forms

The Department of Education, Training and Employment (the department) is the regulatory authority in Queensland responsible for assessing and approving new provider approvals, service approvals and supervisor certificates under the National Quality Framework.

A new national IT system is being developed which will streamline the approval process and will be used to record and report monitoring and compliance information and assessment and rating information.

Until the IT system is fully operational, services can download provider approval, service approval or supervisor certificate application forms available on the ACECQA website . Visit the ACECQA website for further information about the IT system.

Queensland services looking to make an application can submit one of the following forms via scanned email or hard copy to the Department:

• Provider approval - for those who own or operate services and want to apply to become an Approved Provider or amend existing provider status
• Service approval - for Approved Providers who want to apply to operate a service or centre. Nominated Supervisor forms, waiver forms and other forms related to the running of a service can also be found here.
• Supervisor certificate approval - these forms should be used by those who want to apply to become a Certified Supervisor or amend their Certified Supervisor status.

For more information about provider approvals, service approvals or supervisor certificates, contact your regional office .
