What is a Licenced Operator?
Each State and Territory Award Authority licences 'Operators' to conduct The Award Program. They are commonly known as LO's and are responsible for delivering The Award to Participants.
Licenced Operators can be:
- Schools
-
Colleges
- Teritiary institutions
- Community organisations
- Service
- Sporting or Social clubs
- Companies
- A group of interested parents who form their own association
Licenced Operators appoint Award Coordinators who become the main contact and the ones who guide Participants on their Award journey.
If you want to know why organisations and groups become Licensed Operators and the benefits of doing so, you can find out more on our benefits page.
If you'd like to know how to become a Licensed Operator, you need to contact your State/Territory office and one of the great Duke of Ed staff will help you out!
NB: It is the responsibility of the Licenced Operator that relevant child protection requirements are observed for each adult who may work unsupervised with an Award Participant under the age of 18 years.
