VET Quality Framework

The aim of the vocational education and training (VET) Quality Framework is to achieve greater national consistency in:

• registering and monitoring RTOs
• the enforcement of standards in the VET sector.

The VET Quality Framework comprises the:

• Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations
  • Outcome Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations—standards to ensure nationally consistent, quality outcomes for learners and employers.
  • Compliance Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations and Fit and Proper Person Requirements–Requirements which all RTOs must comply with, comprised of administrative, binary or process-oriented requirements.
• Financial Viability Risk Assessment Requirements 2021—which relate to training organisations' ability to meet financial viability requirements
• Data Provision Requirements 2020—which sets out the requirement for providers to supply ASQA with data upon request, and to submit quality indicator data annually
• Australian Qualifications Framework—which is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training.

ASQA is also subject to the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Regulations 2011.
