Education and Training Reform Act 2006

A student of a school who is of or over the age of 15 years and undertaking a course of study accredited by the Authority may be placed with an employer for training as part of that course of study if—

the following persons have made an arrangement about the student's placement—

the principal of the school or a nominated person of the school;

the employer;

the student;

if the student is under the age of 18 years, the parent of the student; and

the arrangement does not involve the placement of the student at a skills or training centre that is not operated by, or under the direct control of, the employer.

An arrangement for structured workplace learning may be made with an employer in another State or Territory—

if that State or Territory is declared by Order of the Governor in Council to be a reciprocating State or Territory for the purposes of this section; or

if the principal of the school or a nominated person of the school (as the case may be) is satisfied that it is appropriate that the arrangement should be made.
