ASQA’s revised Regulatory Assessment and Monitoring Approach explains how we undertake risk-based regulation to support quality outcomes for students and ensure the integrity of vocational education and training (VET).

ASQA’s revised approach includes:  

  • a wider range of regulatory activities
  • a 4-category approach to performance assessments
  • tiered pathways for compliance resolution  
  • other targeted activities such as site visits, specialised financial viability assessments and independent student assessment validation activities.

This approach complements upcoming changes to ASQA’s cost recovery model, effective from 1 July 2026. Read more about ASQA’s Regulatory Assessment and Monitoring Approach
