Welcome to Part 3 of the 2024 RTO Roundtable Series, focusing on the journey from Standard 1.3 to 1.4, with a keen eye on all things assessment. Lauren Hollows of Aniwaya Education Services joins forces with Maree Thorne from Compliance Assist, bringing their expertise to the forefront of this pivotal discussion. If you're catching up, we recommend revisiting the previous episodes for a comprehensive understanding, as this session builds upon earlier dialogues.

This episode delves deep into the evolving regulatory landscape and what it spells for RTOs with the introduction of the new standards, set to reshape practices in 2025. Angela Connell-Richards opens the conversation by highlighting the legislated shift towards ASQA's more educational and supportive role, focusing on the "fit and proper person" requirements and the eagerly awaited guidance through ASQA's user guides and training provisions.

Maree brings to light the challenges of resource allocation and ASQA's capabilities, pondering over the fine line between enforcing compliance and fostering development within the sector. The discussion takes a turn towards the broader implications of regulatory changes, emphasizing the significance of early preparation and the integration of new technologies such as AI and ChatGPT in the compliance landscape.

The trio also engages in a thought-provoking discussion on the potential dichotomy between ASQA's educational aspirations and governmental directives, contemplating the future trajectory of RTO regulation and the impact on the sector. The conversation underscores the importance of proactive engagement with professional development resources and strategic planning in anticipation of the incoming standards.
