Risk Framework Risk relates to an individual RTO. It is often the result of decisions and actions an RTO Provider Risk takes that if left unmanaged, could impact negatively on training outcomes for students, industry or the community. Risk relates to a group of RTOs, specific industry areas or Standards, or the VET sector as a whole. The impact of this type of risk is often significant and far-reaching, and Systemic Risk could potentially be detrimental to training and employment outcomes for graduates and on the reputation of VET.

Risk Framework RTO compliance history Complaints Engagement with industry Training product risk Regulatory and assurance activities Total VET Activity – (NCVER) national VET data collection. Media reports – outcomes of investigations, print and social media reports.
