Introduction
You must complete and submit this self-assessment, with all required evidence attached, with your application for registration as a registered training organisation (RTO) with the Training Accreditation Council Western Australia (TAC or Council).
The tool could also be used for ongoing quality assurance and to support your annual declaration on compliance with the Registration Standards 2025 (2025 Standards).
Purpose and scope of the self-assessment
The purpose of completing the self-assessment is to confirm your provider’s readiness for audit and to identify and organise the evidence you propose to present, if and when a site audit is scheduled.
You will be asked to attach evidence to demonstrate compliance with the 2025 Standards to support your application. This is only your first step in the process to demonstrate compliance, as the questions in the self-assessment tool are neither prescriptive nor comprehensive enough to cover all requirements of the 2025 Standards or to cater for differences between providers. However, it is a useful tool for you to monitor your compliance and to confirm that you are sufficiently prepared for audit prior to lodging your application. Evidence to establish your provider’s compliance with the 2025 Standards will be reviewed at audit.
To summarise, the self-assessment tool provides guidance only and does not:
- cover every requirement in the 2025 Standards, including the Outcome Standards, Compliance Standards and Fit and Proper Person Requirements, and Credential Policy, the legislation or the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF);
- refer to industry specific legislation or other legislative or regulatory requirements that may apply to your context;
- prescribe how your provider must deliver training and assessment or manage your RTO; or
- identify all evidence required to demonstrate compliance with the 2025 Standards.
