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 Registered Training Organisations 2015—standards to ensure nationally consistent, high-quality training and assessment across Australia's VET system
• Fit and Proper Person Requirements—which, as of 2015, are part of the Standards and specify the suitability requirements of individuals involved in the operation of a registered training organisation.
• 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.
