How are multi-sector providers regulated?

ASQA works with the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and with the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment, to regulate multi-sector providers.

Through the arrangements outlined in a memorandum of understanding agreed between ASQA and TEQSA in 2011, the agencies seek to implement the following principles in the regulation of multi-sector providers:

• clear and consistent regulatory expectations
• streamlined data requests from TEQSA and ASQA to minimise duplication
• common evidence requirements to demonstrate compliance with common standards applicable  to higher education and vocational education and training regulation
• joint regulatory and quality assurance assessments, where feasible.
