Why RTOs need CAQA for Risk Management?

• Risk management is the routine task of an RTO
  manager regardless of its size. And, having
  worked closely with many RTO, we know how
  important it is for an RTO to concentrate on
  other tasks. Hence, it is crucial to identify and
  manage risk upfront before anything happens.
• While assessing the registration applications and
  monitoring the RTO compliance, ASQA uses a risk
  assessment approach based on the Risk Assessment
  Framework set in section 190 of 'National
  Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act
  2011.
