They can be linked, but they're not the same thing

All RTOs are required to have a ‘complaints and appeals’ process in place as part of their commitment to transparent dealings with learners and clients.

However this doesn’t necessarily mean the process is always handled in the most efficient and proactive way. Plus, a complaint isn’t the same as an appeal.  

Join this session with Ian Whitehouse to learn more about:

  • The difference between a complaint and an appeal

  • What an RTO is obliged to do

  • Reasons for why a non-compliance might be found against Standard 6

  • What to do to maximise best practice
