Capability, deployment & oversight of personnel

Workforce management is not evidenced by position descriptions or qualification matrices alone. Regulators assess whether providers actively ensure the right people are in the right roles, remain competent, and are supported and monitored over time.

This session audits whether workforce arrangements are deliberate, risk-aware and integrated with delivery, assessment and quality systems.

Participants undertake a structured internal audit of workforce management practices, focusing on how personnel are recruited, deployed, supported and reviewed in line with operational and regulatory requirements.

About the Internal Audit Series

Systematic monitoring & evaluation anchored by internal audit.

Under the 2025 SRTO, regulators expect providers to demonstrate active, systematic monitoring & evaluation. Internal audit forms the backbone of assurance. This is now the #1 area of non-compliance identified by ASQA.

The Internal Audit Series is a 12-month, structured internal audit program delivering practical, facilitated audits across all core VET operating functions.
