I refer to the Auditor-General’s report “Regulation of Training Organisations”, and the 323 checks conducted in 2013-14, and I ask: (a) noting that 35% were found to be significant or critically non-compliant, can the Minister please detail each instance of non-compliance, including: (i) the name of RTO; (ii) the nature of the non-compliance; (iii) whether the problem has been fixed; (iv) the time taken to correct the problem; and (v) If it had previously been found to be non-compliant in an earlier check?

Response time
27 days
(a)
(i)- (v) [See tabled paper no.]
Note (iv): Under the existing national regulatory scheme, all RTOs are provided with 20 days following the initial audit to provide additional evidence to demonstrate compliance. If the RTO does not demonstrate compliance following the 20 day evidence provision period, the Council may consider providing additional time to the RTO if significant progress has been demonstrated or commence the process of applying sanctions.
Note (v): the majority of RTOs operate across multiple industry areas and a sampling approach is applied to audit. Data has been provided on whether at least one of the areas of non-compliance has previously been identified against an RTO in the same industry area, noting that previous non-compliances may not relate to the same qualification.
