14.3.25
The revisions to the Standards for RTOs were released on the Federal Register of Legislation 14.3.25. This means the legislative instruments are now enacted.
For ASQA-regulated RTOs, the new requirements come into full regulatory effect 1.7.25
Given the final versions of all parts to comprise the new requirements for ongoing RTO registration have now been released (2 x legislative instruments; 1 x policy document), we'll work to update our compliance tools and guides.
Training Tools relevant to the revised Standards can be viewed in each of the categories on this page.
Until 1.7.25 all other tools listed below remain relevant as the Standards for RTOs 2015 are still in force.
