Revised Standards for RTOs

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has oversight of the (revised) 2025 Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) which came into effect from 1 July 2025.

The Standards represent all Governments’ shared ambition to lift quality across the VET sector, by enabling a more flexible, robust and quality-driven approach to regulation. The Standards provide a clear and direct link between the requirements RTOs are expected to meet and the outcomes they are expected to deliver.

There are three components of the Standards:

1. Outcome Standards (legislation): Outcome focused requirements that support the delivery of nationally consistent and high-quality training that leads to quality outcomes for students, industry, employers and the Australian community.
2. Compliance requirements (legislation): Administrative requirements (including the Fit and Proper Person Requirements and NRT Logo Conditions of Use Policy) that support integrity in the VET sector.
3. Credential Policy (TGA): An enforceable policy that operates alongside the Standards and outlines the credentials required for delivering training and assessments and undertaking validation of assessment.
