It\u2019s always instructive to take a trip around key VET-related websites every so often. This time, for us, it\u2019s ASQA\u2019s turn.<\/p>\n

They have recently announced the appointment of a new National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Advisory Council. The establishment of the advisory council was a key recommendation of the 2020 Rapid Review of ASQA\u2019s governance, culture and regulatory practice.<\/p>\n

The members<\/h2>\n

The council is chaired by Peter Costantini OAM. Its other members are Professor Valerie Braithwaite, Renee Hindmarsh, Grant Klinkum, Adrienne Nieuwenhuis, Neil Quarmby and Dr Don Zoellner. A few well-known names here!<\/p>\n

ASQA CEO Saxon Rice points out that the members have been appointed for their expertise in governance, regulation, industry engagement, and education and training, and that:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment of the Advisory Council will facilitate continuous improvement of ASQA\u2019s governance practices and improve ASQA\u2019s access to high-level ongoing expert advice, including in relation to ASQA\u2019s strategic objectives and approach to regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more!<\/h2>\n

ASQA\u2019s April update<\/a> notes that ASQA has been nominated to act as the national training package assurance body<\/a>. In addition, there is some information on its website as ASQA moves towards a greater focus on self-assurance<\/a>. This link<\/a> provides some details about the latest state of play.<\/p>\n

There is useful information for RTOs here<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

Finally, ASQA periodically undertakes strategic reviews on key topics. The latest one, as regular VDC News readers will know, has focused on online delivery. You can take a look at the current state of play with this one here<\/a>. We\u2019ll be keeping an eye on the outcomes of this review when they are published.<\/p>\n
