In March 2020, Mpconsulting released a report that was prepared for the Federal Department of Education, Skills and Employment on a review of ASQA’s regulatory practices and processes. This report is part of overall reforms in Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. A key platform of these reforms is moving from input and compliance controls to a stronger focus on excellence in training outcomes. The report makes 24 recommendations. Some of the themes include new long term vision for ASQA, clarifying and modernising ASQA’s role and regulatory culture, aligning governance arrangements with ASQA’s renewed focus, strengthening engagement and education, using intelligence to effectively monitor strategic risk and provider performance, aligning audit practice to focus on self-assurance, appropriate and proportionate regulatory action where non-compliance is identified, meaningful reporting on provider performance and supporting ASQA staff to deliver the outcomes.
