ASQA's Most Commonly Found Non-Compliance Against the 2025 Outcome Standards – Part 2

In Part 1, our expert panel unpacked the four areas where providers are most frequently falling short:
✅ Training – Outcome Standard 1.1
✅ Assessment Systems & Practices – Outcome Standard 1.4
✅ Trainers & Assessors – Outcome Standard 3.3
✅ Continuous Improvement – Outcome Standard 4.4

Now it's time to focus on more solutions. Drawing on the hundreds of questions submitted by attendees, this session will explore the practical steps RTOs, TAFEs and Schools can take to strengthen compliance, improve self-assurance and build confidence in their systems and practices.
In this webinar, our expert panel will discuss:
✔️ The most common questions raised by providers following Part 1 and from our Summits
✔️ What compliance looks like in practice under the 2025 Standards
✔️ Evidence and documentation approaches that support self-assurance
✔️ Practical examples of how quality providers are addressing ASQA's areas of concern
✔️ Strategies to strengthen governance, quality and compliance systems without creating unnecessary administrative burden
