We shall need a work roster or other documented evidence. Don’t worry. We work through this with you.
People who hold a Health Care Card or a Pensioner Concession Card, and people with a disability are entitled to a concession.

We shall look after you! It is not uncommon for us to do one-on-one coaching related to using the software.
Both Workplace Activities and Assessment Booklets must be returned to your trainer assessor. If you are unable to use a scanner, then you can post these documents.
