Identify the key changes introduced in Quality Area 4 of the Outcome Standards for RTOs 2025.

The 2025 Standards raise the bar for RTO governance—demanding more accountability, better-defined roles, and stronger risk management frameworks. This webinar will help you transition to meet these expectations with confidence.

This training will demystify Quality Area 4 – Governance, with a sharp focus on Standard 4.3: Risk Management and its integration across your organisation’s leadership and operational frameworks.

Participants will gain practical insights on:

• Developing and implementing governance structures aligned with the new standards.
• Designing a fit-for-purpose risk management system that identifies, assesses, and responds to key operational, educational, and financial risks.
• Defining and communicating roles and responsibilities to ensure accountability across all levels of the RTO.
• Overseeing third-party arrangements and managing conflicts of interest in line with the Fit and Proper Person Requirements.

Through case examples and current compliance findings, we’ll explore best practices and common pitfalls to avoid. You’ll also receive tools and templates to help you align your internal practices with the outcome standards for RTOs 2025.
