Corporate Plan

ASQA’s Corporate Plan 2024-25 was published on 27 August 2024 and a revised version of the Plan was published on 14 February 2025.

The Corporate Plan outlines our strategic direction for 2024-25. It highlights our renewed approach in strengthening our relationships with Australia’s VET sector and reflects our purpose of ensuring quality vocational education and training so that students, industry, governments and the community have confidence in the integrity of national qualifications issued by training providers.

Our focus on changes impacting the system and providers over the past few years, most recently with the reopening of Australia's international markets and shift in financial and technological settings, is reflected in our program of work and regulatory risk priorities. 

The Corporate Plan includes information about:

  • our purpose and role
  • our current and emerging priorities
  • how we regulate
  • our key activities and deliverables for 2024-25
  • performance measures for tracking success against our strategic objectives.

In February 2025, ASQA’s Corporate Plan was varied to include direct reference to ASQA’s activities to protect individuals, employers and the public from the risks posed by inadequate training and assessment of employees by focusing on the integrity of individual qualifications and statements of attainment.
