Revised Standards for RTOs – Effective 1 July 2025: What You Need to Know

May 9, 2025 by Brooke Lombard

We’ve seen a lot of change over the past two years and no doubt we will continue to see more change as change is the one thing that’s constant in our sector…

After a lengthy process, the Revised Standards for RTOs have been legislated and come into effect on 1 July 2025. These updates are intended to streamline the regulatory framework, support quality outcomes and offer greater flexibility to Registered Training Organisations.

At RTO Works, we’re proud to let you know that our RTO Management System has now been updated in line with these revised Standards and is available for immediate purchase and download on our website. Our RTO Management System contains policies, procedures, template checklists and forms to support your RTO in managing operations, compliantly.

What’s Changing with the Revised Standards?

The revised Standards place a strong focus on quality, clarity, and flexibility, built around three key pillars:

  • Quality Training

    The Standards are outcome-focused, promoting high-quality, learner-centric training and assessment practices.

  • Compliance Clarity

    Clear and concise compliance requirements make it easier to understand and meet your obligations.

  • Flexible Delivery

    A less prescriptive approach gives RTOs greater autonomy in how they deliver training, provided outcomes are achieved.

A Closer Look at the Revised Standards

The new framework of the Revised Standards comprises of:

  • National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Outcome Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations) Instrument 2025 (“The Outcome Standards”)

    The outcome-focused requirements that go to the heart of quality training and assessment. This includes four sections – training and assessment, student support, VET Workforce and governance.

  • National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Compliance Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations and Fit and Proper Person Requirements) Instrument 2025 (“The Compliance Requirements”)

    Administrative requirements (including the Fit and Proper Person Requirements and NRT Logo Conditions of Use Policy) that support integrity in the sector and must be met by RTOs to maintain registration.

  • The Credential Policy

    An enforceable policy that operates alongside the Standards and outlines the credentials required for delivering training and assessment and undertaking validation of assessment.
