Applicant - means the participant or participant’s employer/ business (where the participant’s employer or business has paid for the course on behalf of the participant).

Note that pre-approval to attend a course must be granted to each individual participant prior to attending a course - pre-approval does not apply to a business, but each eligible individual.

Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) - is a unified system of national qualifications covering qualifications issued by secondary schools, vocational education and training providers (TAFEs and private providers) and the higher education institutions (mainly universities). The framework is a quality assured national system of educational recognition.

Australian Qualifications Training Framework (AQTF) - is the set of nationally agreed quality assurance arrangements for training and assessment services delivered by training organisations. It comprises standards for Registered Training Organisations and for State and Territory Registering/Course Accrediting Bodies.

Eligible cost - means the total cost of training to participants eligible for reimbursement and is not more than the listed Course Cost agreed by the Program Administrator. 

These costs include the Training Provider's direct operational costs eg. professional fees, training resource materials, venue and equipment hire, administration/promotion and catering. Eligible cost excludes items such as computer software, aerial photographs, audits, text books and professional advice.

Indigenous Land Managers - are those involved in the management decisions for Indigenous lands that are:

• zoned for rural purposes or outside existing control plan areas
• if the land is owned, managed, controlled or operated by an Indigenous community, corporation or trust, or an Aborigine or Torres Strait Islander

Management level training - means training that is targeted at improving decision making, planning and risk management skills, including the identification and evaluation of relevant information and management options. These types of generic competencies are typically described under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as being at Certificate Level IV and above. See the relevant section of the AQF Handbook for details.

Participant – means a person who meets the eligibility criteria as described in these guidelines and receives the reimbursement grant for undertaking an approved training course.

Primary production enterprise - means a business recognised by the Australian Taxation Office as a primary producer (see Who is a primary producer?):

• a rural enterprise carried on within the agricultural, horticultural, pastoral, aquacultural, or apicultural industries
• a wild catch fishing enterprise
• private commercial forestry enterprise
• a wild game harvesting enterprise.

Program Administrator – ANU Enterprise is contracted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the FarmReady Reimbursement Grants program.

Registered Training Organisation (RTO) – is a Training Provider delivering accredited training under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Your organisation does not have to be an RTO to register as a Training Provider with FarmReady - refer to the Program Guidelines for details.

Training Event – a single course delivered a single time.

Training Occasion – each pre-approved FarmReady participant at a single training event. For example: 10 FarmReady participants at 1 training event equals 10 training occasions and 10 FarmReady participants at each of 2 training events equals 20 training occasions.

Training Provider - means the organisation responsible for the provision of training courses and for ensuring that the conditions of approval for courses under the program are met, and continue to be met, for the duration of the time that the course is registered with the program.
