Audit & Regulatory Expertise

Experience and Background

My experience includes supporting and overseeing compliance across more than 50 RTO, CRICOS and GTO providers annually within a consulting environment. This involved managing diverse regulatory requirements across a wide range of provider types, delivery models and risk profiles.
 

This work extended across audit preparation, rectification strategies, policy and system development, and complex regulatory matters, including coordinating compliance across both onshore and offshore operations.
 

I have also worked within an RTO, from admissions through to operations, providing firsthand insight into the realities of balancing compliance obligations with staffing, systems and day-to-day delivery.

What I support Providers With

Compliance & Transition

  • Standards implementation

  • Gap analysis and transition planning

Audit & Regulatory

  • Audit, preparation and response

  • Rectification strategies

Systems and Evidence 

  • Policies and procedures

  • Assessment systems and validation

Registration and Scope

  • Initial registration and re-registration

  • Scope additions and accredited course applications

Approach

 

My focus is on practical, audit-ready implementation — not just interpretation.

​

I work with providers to build compliance systems that are:

  • Usable in real delivery

  • Defensible under audit

  • Sustainable within the organisation
