Group Training Organisation Registration Support
Support for labour hire and workforce providers to register as a Group Training Organisation, meeting state-based regulatory requirements with confidence.
What a GTO Is
What Is a Group Training Organisation
A Group Training Organisation employs apprentices and trainees and places them with host employers, managing employment, training coordination, and compliance obligations.
Why GTO Registration Is Required
State governments require registration to ensure apprentices and trainees are properly employed, supported, and trained under regulated conditions.
State-Based Regulation
Unlike RTO registration, GTOs are regulated by individual state authorities, each with specific eligibility and compliance requirements.

Common Risks and Failures
Where GTO registration applications fail and how to prevent it.
Organisations lack the employment structures and documentation required for apprentice employment.
What we see
- •No documented employment policies for apprentices and trainees
- •Award and industrial relations obligations not addressed
- •Employment contracts not aligned to apprenticeship requirements
- •Payroll and entitlement systems not configured for apprentices
Why it matters
GTOs are employers. State regulators require evidence of employment capability before registration. Missing frameworks result in application rejection.
What to do instead
- ✓Develop apprentice-specific employment policies and contracts
- ✓Ensure payroll systems handle apprentice entitlements correctly
- ✓Document your understanding of award and industrial obligations
- ✓Prepare evidence of employment compliance history
