The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has released a statement setting out the regulatory expectations of registered training organisations (RTOs) in relation to compliance with fit and proper person requirements (FPPRs) and the obligation to notify ASQA of material changes, consistent with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2025 (the 2025 Standards).
It also makes clear that RTOs must engage with ASQA in an open, honest and transparent manner. ASQA expects all RTOs to understand, implement and maintain effective governance and compliance arrangements to ensure these obligations are met. The expectations outlined in the statement underpin regulatory confidence and are intended to promote transparency, integrity and public confidence in the delivery of vocational education and training (VET).
Providers that do not comply with FPPR and notification of material change will be found non-compliant with the 2025 Standards. Further regulatory action may be taken by ASQA.
