The Australian Skills and Quality Authority (ASQA) has cancelled the registration of a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), Luvium Pty Ltd, trading as Australia Education & Career College 52865.
ASQA has also taken action to cancel qualifications and statements of attainment issued to students of Luvium between 1 January 2023 and 19 October 2024. Students who hold an individual or social support qualification from Luvium may be affected, and this may impact some disability workers.
Information about ASQA’s decision is available at the ASQA website at: https://www.asqa.gov.au/information-former-students-luvium-trading-australia-education-career-college-52865
The Victorian Disability Worker Commission encourages all employers and service providers to take action to ensure safe, quality services for people with disability. If you have staff with qualifications issued by Luvium, you may need to take action to maintain compliance. Refer to the information from the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Australian Government at: https://www.dewr.gov.au/asqa-regulatory-action-regarding-luvium-pty-ltd
Former students of Luvium should refer to information from ASQA about the cancellations and what steps to take: https://www.asqa.gov.au/information-former-students-luvium-trading-australia-education-career-college-52865
The Disability Worker Registration Board of Victoria will consider the impact of any cancellation of qualification on registered disability workers. The Board will contact all registered disability workers who have relied on qualifications from Luvium to qualify for disability worker registration.
The Board and Commission regulate disability workers, promoting accountability, safety and quality in the disability workforce. The scheme includes voluntary worker registration, a complaints service for people to raise concerns, and the requirement that all disability workers comply with the Disability Service Safeguards Code of Conduct, including the requirement to provide supports and services in a safe and competent manner, with care and skill.
