ASQA published the following media release on October 4 2019: 

ASQA is aware that unfortunately, there are unqualified organisations issuing fake certificates in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

Whether you are a student signing up for a course in VET or a business seeking a training provider for your employees, make sure to verify the provider’s current registration status on training.gov.au.

Training.gov.au is the National Register of VET in Australia. It is the authoritative source of Nationally Recognised Training and maintains a current list of registered training organisations (RTOs) who have the approved scope to deliver Nationally Recognized Training, as required by national and jurisdictional legislation within Australia.
