Adapting to the 2025 Standards
The 2025 Standards for RTO’s use an outcome-based approach, focussed on quality outcomes for learners and employers, rather than the previous process-focussed approach. This shift towards quality outcomes, allows for providing flexibility that accommodates the diversity of the VET sector.
Key differences between the new and previous Standards for RTOs include:
Expanded focus on student wellbeing
New requirements for promoting wellbeing, diversity, inclusive learning environments, and creating culturally safe environments for First Nations learners.
Industry engagement
Stronger emphasis on seeking industry feedback to continuously improve training programs.
Continuous improvement processes
Greater emphasis on systems for monitoring and evaluating, and how this information contributes towards continuous improvement.
Risk management
Including financial risk management, conflict of interest and support for students under 18 years.
Pre-enrolment information
More comprehensive requirements regarding information provided to students prior to enrolment.
New provisions for experts working under supervision.
This ensures clear guidelines and support for professionals gaining experience while maintaining quality standards.
