Risk Management Analysis of VET system risks: ● Data from audit outcomes about compliance trends ● Feedback from industry bodies (ISCs and industry regulators) and professional associations ● Complaints data and trends ● State/Territory/Australian Government intelligence (e.g. apprenticeship regulation, purchasing, DIAC) ● Analysis of non-compliance data, quality indicators including student and employer outcomes, & visa data 8

Industry Engagement Aim: Confidence that vocational outcomes meet industry standards Engagement strategies Guidance on learning and assessment resources Additional requirements for Licensing outcomes Participation in audit activities, either pre-regulator engagement, technical advisers or strategic industry audit Development activities for auditors
