Description
Wednesday 23rd July 2025 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM AEST
(10:30am WA | 12:00am NT/SA)
This webinar will unpack how effective governance practices and a commitment to continuous improvement form the foundation of quality and integrity in vocational education and training (VET) delivery.
Participants will explore the key changes introduced in the Outcome Standards, including strengthened expectations for leadership accountability, role clarity, risk management, and continuous organisational evaluation. We’ll translate these requirements into practical, sustainable governance strategies that not only ensure compliance but also drive excellence and resilience in your RTO’s operations.
This session will teach you how to establish governance systems that support transparency, enable informed decision-making, and enhance trust with students, staff, and regulators.
Whether you’re an executive officer, governing person, or compliance leader, this is your opportunity to understand what’s required under the new standards and how to position your organisation for long-term success.
