Receiving an adverse audit outcome is every provider’s nightmare. For many providers, they’ve invested everything they had into their business. They often feel responsible for everyone else who is affected by an adverse audit outcome. Every single day they make a difference in the lives of others and in the blink of an eye, it can all come crashing down with an audit that resembled a police interrogation. The moment they make contact with RTO Doctor, they feel more confident knowing that they are in safe, understanding hands.
Meet RTO Doctor’s Founding Director, Raelene Bartlett.
Have you got questions about your industry area that needs answering?
The regulatory environment in the VET and international education sector has never been more hostile, challenging and risky. The earlier you get in touch with an expert and get their advice, the more likely your ability to achieve a successful outcome. When providers are in this position, it’s usually because they’ve trusted others who claimed to know what they were doing but in reality, had no idea.
As an expert in her field, Raelene is often sought after as an Expert Witness for RTO legal matters. Raelene often undertakes a range of different types of audits, including due diligence audits, and provides a range of other specialist support services. From conducting audits to rectification, strategic planning workshops, and everything in between. When only the best will do, RTO Doctor has got you covered.
As a published author of ‘CRICOS CPR: Top 5 Tips to Rescue Your RTO’ and the international best seller ‘National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 (Cth): An Investigation into Merits Review’, Raelene frequently writes important, thought-provoking articles on VET Reform, keeping the regulator accountable to the sector.
Raelene frequently does live videos on topics relevant to VET Reform, tips to manage compliance and interpretation of ASQA’s ‘updates’, whether they be legislative or policy, and what they mean for providers.
Just as I’ve written previously, I continue to shine a light on regulation in Australia’s VET sector by referencing similarities to nursery rhymes.
The Regulator is unambiguous in its approach to the liability of the officers, agents and particularly of CEOs of RTOs irrespective of the proof or otherwise of liability by other actors within the business.
In this video, Raelene explores the potential for conflicts of interest in the public service, specifically in relation to the management of an employee's future employment where there is also a significant private interest at stake.
The video discusses how there are certain Commonwealth legislative requirements in place to properly manage a public servant's termination of employment to ensure that no conflict of interest exists or can be perceived to exist and how, in recent times, it is questionable whether the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has met their legislative duty in relation to this area.
