Parties to training contract(1) The parties to a training contract are—
(a) the employer; and
(b) the apprentice; and
(c) if the apprentice is under 18 years, the parent or guardian of the apprentice.
(2) If an apprentice has no parent or guardian or no parent or guardian resident in Victoria and capable of acting, the Commission may approve a person to act instead of the parent or guardian.
(3) If an apprentice is under the age of 18 years and the Commission is satisfied that it is in the interests of the employer and the apprentice, the Commission may consent to the training contract being executed by the employer and the apprentice only.
