ASQA’s Regulation Report is a quarterly publication which outlines our latest activities, actions and responses to key risks and emerging issues in Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) sector.
As the national regulator, we are committed to addressing quality and integrity issues in the sector. The Regulation Report is a key publication through which we inform stakeholders and the public about the work we have been undertaking, as well as our performance in achieving set targets.
For more information about the central role that risk management plays in how we operate, see our Regulatory Risk Framework.
