Regulatory & Administrative Law (ASQA)

RTO Legal is a boutique Australian law firm dedicated exclusively to the legal needs of Registered Training Organisations and similar providers. Founded on a commitment to the vocational education and training sector, we have built our practice by combining top-tier legal experience with practical, real-world insight into RTO operations. We understand that the VET sector’s regulatory landscape is unique, and our firm was created to provide the focused expertise that generalist firms can’t offer.

Our work includes:

  
    Regulatory advice and representation regarding the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act (NVR Act), the VET Quality Framework, and related ESOS/CRICOS obligations for VET providers. We interpret the rules and guide you on staying compliant. 
Regulatory defence preparing effective responses to ASQA audits, Notices of Intention to impose sanctions, and other compliance actions. We help you gather evidence, address non-compliances thoroughly, and present a strong case to ASQA. 
Registration and scope matterssupport with initial RTO registration applications, registration renewals, adding training products to scope, and notifying material changes. We ensure your submissions to ASQA are evidence-ready and meet all requirements. 
Funding and contracts advice on Commonwealth and State training funding agreements and related obligations. We help RTOs comply with funding program requirements and manage contracts or government tenders in the education space.
