Equip participants with the skills & knowledge needed to establish & implement an effective compliance self-assessment system

The Annual Declaration on Compliance (ADC) is a crucial mechanism embedded in the Standards for RTOs to promote self-assurance. It requires RTOs to collaboratively review their compliance performance and provide evidence demonstrating their capacity to:

• Maintain compliance.
• Identify and rectify non-compliances.

The responsibility for completing the ADC rests with the RTO CEO. 

ASQA’s approach to the ADC has evolved significantly. Previously, the data collected offered limited value. However, ASQA now leverages this data to shape its regulatory priorities. As a result, RTO managers and CEOs must place greater emphasis on the quality of the self-assessments that underpin their operations, outcomes, and continuous improvement efforts before submitting the declaration.

This online workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to establish and implement an effective compliance self-assessment system. Participants will learn to identify and address non-compliances through proven techniques for monitoring and documenting compliance. Our experienced facilitator, Javier Amaro, will guide you through best practices tailored for RTOs.
