Veteran RPL Guide

Veteran RPL Guide

This Veteran RPL Online Guide has been funded by the ‘Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ (DVA) and developed by Australian Catholic University under the ‘Veteran Recognition of Prior Learning – Tertiary Support’ project grant for 2024.

We’re here to help higher education providers establish a Recognition of Prior Learning program for military veterans in Australia.

Throughout this site, ADF modules of learning, or Learning Management Packages, will be referred to as ‘LMPs’, and units of study within HE providers will be referred to as ‘HE units’.

In 2020, ACU received a DVA grant to create a first-in-sector tertiary credit mapping framework to enable veterans to have their ADF Record of Service assessed for RPL when entering and undertaking university-level studies. The grant enabled ACU to conduct a comprehensive academic assessment of ADF LMPs to provide RPL within many of their courses.
