Diploma of Payroll Services

The Diploma of Payroll Services is a nationally recognised qualification under the government’s Financial Services Training Package. The Diploma finally recognises payroll services as a professional career.

The Diploma is a great opportunity for current payroll providers to formalise current skills and knowledge and gain the recognition they deserve. The Diploma is also beneficial for business owners, managers and admin personnel aiming to master the complexities of payroll, such as the essential accounting, procedural and legislative requirements necessary to perform and manage payroll effectively.

Payroll is an important function requiring specialised skills and knowledge that can be gained through our NEW nationally recognised qualification.
