We tailor the QMS to the client's organisation, sector and delivery mode. Typical build-to-submission timeframe is 12–16 weeks depending on scope. ASQA fees are additional to consulting. ### Compliance Support — /services/compliance-support Ongoing or temporary compliance partnership — outsourced compliance manager, TVA/quality-indicator reporting, targeted audits, TAS reviews, industry engagement, marketing and website compliance, temp CEO/operations cover, coaching for internal staff, and support with buying or selling an RTO. Suits RTOs that need senior compliance capability without hiring internally. ### Internal Audits — /services/internal-audits Independent, ASQA-style internal audits and RTO health checks. Scope options: desktop audit (about 1 week), full RTO audit (about 2 weeks from start to final report), pre-purchase due diligence, Skills First (VIC) / Smart & Skilled (NSW) / QLD subsidised, ESOS/National Code (CRICOS), HESA, ISO 9001, WorkSafe Vic HRW conditions, mining and corporate training systems. Every audit ends in a detailed report and a rectification plan. ### Extension to Scope — /services/extension-to-scope Add new qualifications to your scope of registration. We prepare or review Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS), source training and assessment materials, run industry consultation, build the trainer/staff matrix, review pre-enrolment info and marketing, and manage the ASQAnet or VRQA submission for CEO sign-off. ### CRICOS / ELICOS — /services/cricos-elicos Registration and compliance support for RTOs delivering to international students. Covers National Code 2018, financial viability, physical and management resources, and human-resource declarations. We support first-time CRICOS registration, ELICOS addition, and existing providers extending international scope. ### Validation — /services/validation Independent validation of assessment systems, tools, marking guides and mapping documents, aligned with the Standards for RTOs 2025 requirement to review that assessment tools match the training product and that judgements are consistent. Independent validation available for TAE40122. ### Audit Rectifications — /services/audit-rectifications Structured response service when ASQA issues a Notice of Findings. We map every non-compliance to the Standard clause, build the rectification plan, produce evidence, and prepare the response document — all within the 20 business-day window. We have closed multi-finding rectifications with all findings accepted and no conditions imposed. ### RTO Recruitment — /services/rto-recruitment Fixed-fee (not commission) recruitment of VET trainers, assessors, compliance managers and RTO leadership. We know what "vocational competency and industry currency" actually mean at audit time, so we shortlist people who can pass an ASQA trainer file review. ### Corporate Consultancy — /services/corporate-consultancy Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and corporate learning strategy for large organisations. Aligns internal training with business objectives, blends accredited and non-accredited, and audits existing corporate training systems. ### Course Accreditation — /services/course-accreditation Develop and accredit a new course on the national register when no existing training package unit meets the need. We evidence the need, run consultation, write the accreditation document in the required format, and manage the ASQA application and reaccreditation. ### Business Services — /services/business-services Strategic and business plans, feasibility reviews, buy/sell due diligence, and intelligence reporting for RTOs deciding whether to restructure, keep and grow, or package and sell. ### WorkSafe Victoria Audits — /services/worksafe-vic-audits Independent annual compliance audit required of every RTO approved by WorkSafe Victoria to assess high-risk work (HRW) licence classes (forklift, EWP, scaffolding, dogging, rigging, cranes, etc.). Must be submitted to WorkSafe Victoria before 31 October each year. Audit covers both RTO and approved assessors, against WorkSafe Vic Guidelines and Requirements, the Standards for RTOs and ISO 31000:2018 risk management.
