Latest News and Updates

A new national regulator, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), has been established to regulate the vocational education and training sector to ensure national standards are met and to quality assure the qualifications and skills issued by registered training organisations nationally. ASQA commenced operations on 1 July 2011 with a timetable for transferring regulatory responsibility from the states and territories to the national regulator. It is anticipated that South Australia will transfer regulatory responsibility to ASQA later in 2011.
