ASQA regulatory action following targeted compliance investigations.
On this page:
The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), the national regulator for the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Australia, is undertaking serious regulatory action in respect to a number of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), following a series of compliance investigations.
To ensure the integrity of the VET sector and to protect the public, ASQA is progressing regulatory actions to cancel the registration of some providers. Where these providers are found to have issued qualifications without the appropriate training or assessment ASQA is pursuing regulatory action to cancel the qualification or statements of attainment.
The department, ASQA, and other government agencies are collaborating to manage the potential impact on students, employers and workplaces.
