Held across the country from 7-14 July 2024, NAIDOC Week will celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
|
This year’s theme chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.
|
|
The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
|
First Nations communities, registered businesses, schools and local governments are all encouraged to apply for funding to run an activity or event that directly relates to the 2024 NAIDOC theme including:
|
- arts based activities, including painting, dancing, crafts and storytelling;
- family fun days and community activities;
- cultural and Elders activities;
- NAIDOC themed sporting activities or competitions, or activities that actively promote Reconciliation.
|
NAIDOC Week, which first began in 1975, provides an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

VET Transcripts Information for Students
|
USI account holders can access their VET outcomes online in the form of an authenticated USI VET transcript.
|
As a current or former VET student, you can use your USI account to:
|
- access your VET record online in the form of an authenticated VET transcript
- give permission for your training organisation to view your VET transcript from within the USI Registry System
- create and download a full copy or extract of your transcript to share with a third party.
|
Your VET transcript may be a useful backup if the original documentation is lost and cannot be replaced (for example, if the training provider is no longer operating).
|
Your VET transcript does NOT:
|
- replace the statement of attainment or certificate you received from your Registered Training Organisation (RTO)
- show training undertaken before 2015
- include any higher education qualifications.
If your USI was created for you, you will need to activate your USI by clicking on the link sent from noreply@usi.gov.au to your email address or mobile number. Otherwise, you can activate your account from the Student Portal.
|
Sharing a VET transcript is a convenient and secure way to prove your qualifications and demonstrate pre-requisites for further training.
|
|
You can share a full copy of your VET transcript or select exactly which training to display by using the extract functionality.
|
The VET transcript includes a clickable link and a QR code for accessing the online record from either an electronic or hard copy.
|
|
When using the QR code, the name and document number will populate automatically to ensure accessing the record is quick and easy for third parties.
|
How to create and download a VET transcript
|
Follow these steps to create and download a VET transcript that can be shared with a third party such as an employer or licensing body.
|
- login into your USI account via the USI Student Portal

Guiding the Path Beyond Formal Education
There is a profound truth behind our tendency to hold onto old problems instead of accepting and embracing new solutions.
|
However, breaking free from this pattern is the key to unlocking progress in both our personal and professional life.
|
This session is designed to explore how you can assist others to step outside their comfort zone sustainably to tap into their true potential and unlock new horizons. Take a deep dive into strategies that lead to empowering actions, so you can mentor and guide others to new heights that extend beyond formal education.

Date: Tuesday 23rd July 2024
Time: 10:00am - 1:30pm
