The Department of Education, Skills and Employment has announced revisions to the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), which will come into full regulatory effect from July 1, 2025. These updated Standards are the result of four years of extensive sector consultation, collaboration with states and territories, VET regulators, and sector peak bodies. The aim is to strengthen the focus on quality outcomes for learners and employers, provide greater clarity, and allow for more flexibility and innovation in training delivery.
Changes to the Standards are designed to better reflect the diversity of the VET sector and ensure the Standards are fit-for-purpose across different RTO settings. This will help to embed quality aspirations and ensure the Standards clearly articulate characteristics required of RTOs to foster a shared understanding of what constitutes high-quality delivery for all users of the VET system.
The revised Standards aim to embed quality aspirations and provide a more direct link between the requirements RTOs must meet and the outcomes they are expected to deliver. This ensures that all users of the VET system can expect high-quality training that meets their needs and supports their goals.
