Home / Services / Compliance benchmarking audit
“We want to know where we stand”
An independent, evidence-based audit that benchmarks your practice against the Standards for RTOs 2025 and your own business systems, so you can confirm what is working, improve what isn’t, and assure yourself your systems do what they should.
A compliance benchmarking audit is sometimes called an internal audit or a compliance health check. We audit your RTO against its own compliance management practices, the VET Quality Framework and the Standards. We sample qualifications, units and student records and review them from enrolment through training, assessment and certification.
We also benchmark end-to-end business processes, such as eligibility, enrolment, training plans, delivery, reporting and record keeping, against your own policies and procedures. Findings cover good practice as well as risk.
Every engagement starts with an agreed scope and a fixed budget. You get findings and advice you can act on, and a debrief with your team.
Most engagements involve two to five days of work across on-site and off-site activity, depending on how many qualifications, units and student records are sampled. We agree the scope and budget with you before we start.

Yes. A follow-up desk review checks your improvement actions and evidence, and we update the report to show your current position.
Many providers have one each year, and whenever they make significant changes such as new qualifications, delivery modes or staff. We’ll suggest a cycle that suits your size and risk.
