This document outlines when an Activity Agreement for YA students is required.

Activity agreements

The purpose of the Activity Agreement for a student is to detail the steps they must undertake in order to comply with their obligations by undertaking full-time study. YA students may be required to enter into an Activity Agreement if they:

  • have withdrawn from a course before completion, without any exceptional circumstances applying, and they wish to undertake another course at the same level that is greater than 12 months in duration, or
  • are a YA secondary school student who has had more than 5 days of unapproved absences in a school term

If a secondary school student has entered into an Activity Agreement as a result of having excessive unapproved absences, and they subsequently fail to satisfy the terms of the Activity Agreement, (that is, has more than five unapproved absences in a subsequent school term), a participation failure may apply.

Note: customers in receipt of YA as an Australian Apprentice are not required to negotiate an Activity Agreement.

For further information on Activity Agreements see:

Generating an activity agreement for a full-time student

In some circumstances YA tertiary students will be presented with a YA Activity Agreement within their new online claim; see Negotiating an Activity Agreement for YA students returning to study for more information on automated YA Activity Agreements. These YA Activity Agreements can be found within the online claim in Process Direct.

Manual YA Activity Agreements can be found within the Manage Activity Agreements for Students screen in the Student Activity Agreement workflow in Customer First.
