  • Keep our systems and records sharp, audit-ready, and future-focused.
  • Support and guide our VET and leadership teams to embed best practice.
  • Support our 2026 ASQA re-registration success by taking ownership of the compliance remediation register and developing the audit evidence bank.

About You

  • You live and breathe attention to detail — no file, form, or framework escapes you.
  • You know your way around the VET Quality Framework and ASQA requirements.
  • You've had experience in RTO compliance (bonus points if it's in a school VET setting).
  • You're a collaborator and communicator, with strong emotional intelligence.
  • You're organised, proactive, and thrive on seeing systems run like clockwork.
  • You hold a minimum Certificate IV in Training & Assessment qualification.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Make a difference in the lives of young people by maintaining VET pathways.
  • Be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team that values innovation and quality.
  • Take ownership of a pivotal compliance milestone — our 2026 ASQA audit remediation.
