Citizenship packet (VET) 2022
Version Details
- Version:
- 1.00
The citizenship packet is used to report changes through time to the citizen resident code (E358) for a student. The first citizen resident code (E358) for a student is reported as part of the student packet. A provider may create as many additional citizenship packets as necessary to report changes to a student’s citizenship or residency status through time. When the first citizen resident code (E358) is reported for a student in a student packet, a citizenship effective from date (E609) is automatically generated based on the date the student packet was first reported. Providers may amend this date.
Scope
Providers are required to report a citizenship packet only when the student's citizen resident code (E358) was not reported through the original student packet or when a student notifies the provider that there has been a change to their citizenship or residency status.
Structure and reporting requirement
| Element | Name | Reporting requirement | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| *E358 | Citizen resident code | Required if reporting a new citizen resident code for the student | Within 14 days of the first census date for the student or 7 days of the student advising of a change in citizenship |
| *E609 | Citizenship effective from date | Required if reporting a new citizen resident code for the student | Within 14 days of the first census date for the student or 7 days of the student advising of a change in citizenship |
*These elements must be reported together when a new citizenship packet is created
Uniqueness
Each citizenship packet must have a value for citizenship effective from date (E609) that is unique for the student.
Revising data
Providers can correct the data submitted in a citizenship packet and the system-generated citizenship effective from date (E609) for the first reported citizen resident code (E358), with the following limitations:
- only the citizenship packets at the end of the time series can be deleted
- a citizenship effective from date (E609) cannot be amended in a way that would create a gap or overlap in the time series of citizenship data for a student.
The value for the citizen resident code (E358) is to be correct as at the citizenship effective from date (E609).
