1. Objectives – Policy Statement

1.1

TAFE NSW supports learners who are members of the Defence Reservists and adopts special provisions to ensure they are not disadvantaged academically or financially as a consequence of participation in Defence Reserve activities.

1.2

TAFE NSW learners who are members of the Defence Reserves.

2.2

3.1

A learner who is a volunteer member of the Defence Reserve and as such is required to attend one or more compulsory camps of continuous training in a year and occasionally a non-compulsory camp or course, may be granted special consideration with regard to attendance and assessment requirements.

In these circumstances the learner shall provide the Regional General Manager with a statement signed by an authorised officer of the Defence Force Reserve detailing the times when attendance at the camp or training course is to take place.

3.3
