23.01.2022 RTO Doctor spends considerable time and effort to assist all providers to maintain quality training and assessment and survive in one of the world's most hostile regulatory environments. Australia's VET & international education sector is absolutely fighting for survival for a whole range of reasons and anyone who is currently operating, working or studying in this system is at risk. RTO Doctor aims to bring current information, advice and expert recommendations to guide ever...yone in this sector whilst also ensuring that the National VET Regulator (ASQA) is accountable and transparent at all times. ASQA's functions are clearly identified in the National Vocational Education and Training Act 2011 (Cth) at s 157. They also must abide by the Australian Public Service Act 1999, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (Cth) and the Legal Service Directions 2017. The reality is that we do not, as a country have a very transparent or accountable National VET Regulator in the performance of its duties across this legislation. This is not news, it's why there have been inquiries undertaken (Braithewaite review, Joyce Review for example) and 2 petitions have been lodged with parliament. RTO Doctor will not tolerate abuse or threats to undermine any member of the RTO Doctor community, nor will it tolerate abuse or threats to undermine anyone who provides information to the #enoughisenough campaign. You are not welcome on this page and I dare say, you would not be a welcome participant in ANY VET forum or discussion. There is no room in any conversation that I personally, or RTO Doctor as a company will tolerate where such behaviour is demonstrated. RTO Doctor does not welcome anyone who delights in trying to destroy other people's businesses and livelihoods. It is unacceptable. For the reasons outlined, RTO Doctor will not hesitate to ban people whose sole intention is to act in this manner effective immediately.
23.01.2022 Are you interested in continuing to receive RTO Doctor Updates? I'm updating my contact list! I usually send updates in relation to major compliance issues, advocacy, VET Reform, regulatory reform, international education issues, AAT cases and judgements of interest, positions available in the sector and resources for my followers. Stuff you don't want to miss really. I am in the process of changing software for sending out bulk emails. For those of you who previously re...ceived my newsletters, you know I don't send out frequent or regular newsletters (too many people do that these days). If I send something out, it's because it's important and you need to know about it. I didn't want to just export my old list and import all the contacts. I wanted to give people the opportunity to opt-in again. I don't send spam, I never share your contacts without your consent! I certainly don't have the time to send out emails every day or every week. If you'd like to continue receiving updates from me, please sign up using the link below! If you know someone who might be interested, feel free to share the link! I look forward to sharing important and exciting updates with you all again very soon! https://rtodoctor.activehosted.com/f/1
23.01.2022 It seems the following information has been deleted, here is the screenshot I took having a gut feeling this might happen. I'm posting this because access to resources should not be denied to anyone during this global pandemic!

22.01.2022 URGENT ASQA PROVIDERS TAKE NOTE It has come to my attention today that: Australian Government Solicitors (a department of Attorney-General Christian Porter) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA, an agency of the Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business Michaelia Cash) are using the COVID19 crisis to question the financial viability of Australian training businesses collectively employing over 400,000 of Australia educators, trainers and support ...staff, with a view of potentially forcing them to cease operations. This is clearly despite the advice by ASQA that it is committed to a flexible approach to regulating the sector in the current environment. #asqa #vocationaleducation #rto #vocationaltraining #vet #inquiry #rtos #aat #enoughisenough #regulatorychange #regulatorreform #rogueregulator #regulatoryreform #vetreform #educationreform #covid19 #covid19australia
19.01.2022 So all those FREE webinars to support providers during their time of crisis are now the basis of 'limited time only 50% off' products and services! And this is called unity and support in the VET sector? A time will come when it will be remembered who supported providers and who exploited them, I have to believe that there is good in people and that exploitation is not as rampant in our sector as it looks.... #vet #vocationaleducation #rto #vocationaltraining #covid19australia #isitreallyfree #exploitation

Tras consultas recientes con el sector educativo internacional, el Departamento de Empleos, Turismo, Ciencia e Innovación (JTSI) se ha dado cuenta de que varios estudiantes internacionales pueden estar en una situación de crisis con su alojamiento actual.

13.01.2022 I just found a new feature on the Facebook Page that some RTO Doctor followers might be interested in. Feel free to join, share with your networks.
12.01.2022 The new COVID Infection Control Unit... Has anyone actually looked at the content of these units? The newspaper article that I posted earlier and again below says it is expected to be delivered online - how does the government expect this to really be conducted online? And...while having 3 different skillsets (food handling, retail and transport & logistics), it is the exact same single unit in each of them. https://www.watoday.com.au//infection-control-training-lau ... How much industry consultation occurred when developing this unit? Who quality-assured it? Apparently, despite being for food handling, retail and transport & logistics (according to the skillsets, the unit application states "...applies to individuals working in health and direct client care contexts" Does the teenager at the local McDonalds, KFC or cafe really need to complete all of this? And the truck driver delivering produce to Coles & Woolies? Employers are expecting that their staff will have completed nationally recognised training but as per the newspaper article, you can complete it online and not be issued with certification, so what's the point? How will employers legitimately know? As if they can tell the difference between a Statement of Attainment and a Certificate of Attendance! And do they really care? All they really want to do is open their businesses again! This is the biggest waste of $80 million dollars I think I've seen in a while. https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/HLTINFCOV001 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying something might be needed but this is outrageous. What do you think? If you don't feel comfortable posting publicly, PM me and I'll post your response anonymously.
12.01.2022 After reading about another few too many suicides in my newsfeed today, I was prompted to write this article. People do not need to die this way. It's time we all took a close look in the mirror and asked ourselves if we are being as compassionate to others as we could be. ... #compassionateleadership #empathymatters #humanitymatters #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld #covid19leadership #gratitudeattitude #bekindalways

10.01.2022 At a time when ASQA is promoting its new audit model under its attempts at 'reform', I thought it would be important to remind everyone that there is nothing more in need of reform at ASQA in my opinion than this! There are so many cases that are unnecessarily dragged through Tribunals because of a lack of competency of ASQA auditors. What's even worse is they are required under Schedule 1 to use industry advisors and technical experts when required. This is quite possibly on...e of the most important areas of reform ASQA, when will it happen? https://www.linkedin.com//competency-requirements-asqa-a/ #vocationaleducation #vocationaltraining #asqa #vet #cricos #vetreform #enoughisenough #compliance #ethics #governance

08.01.2022 Have you seen the new, NOT EQUIVALENT first aid unit? In addition to the significant changes, not equivalent outcome, the unit title doesn't meet the training package standards which it purports to. The rule for developing units of competency has always been that the unit title is in sentence case so why is this unit suddenly different? @SkillsIQ who was responsible for the quality assurance on this one?... This is going to cause mayhem. With so many RTOs having been identified as not compliant for this very issue, it will be interesting to see what happens with this! All that money that will be raked in for the amendments to scope... All those qualifications that will be required to deliver a superseded training product because of another training package change. What's your view? https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/HLTAID011 #vocationaleducation #vocationaltraining #vet #shortcourses #asqa #vetreform #enoughisenough #standards #whattrainingpackagestandards

07.01.2022 I don't often bring matters of religion out publicly because I know everyone has their own beliefs and I respect everyone's rights to believe and practice what they choose. However, when my one-minute motivation arrived from Elevation Church in the United States today, I couldn't help but think that there was nothing more relevant to the voice I have in Australia's VET sector and the voice of the national regulator ASQA. The point is ASQA has the potential to make the regulat...ion of Australia's VET sector great, or the potential to poison it and prevent its future growth. ASQA has the potential to support Australia's 4000 odd providers to ensure that they have the tools and resources to flourish and prosper, or it has the potential to continue to undermine and destroy. Like ASQA, I have the potential to sit back and accept the manner in which they regulate, the injustices I see daily, explain all the hidden 'extras' that ASQA will never tell you about until you're neck is on the chopping block. Or, I can use my voice to try and empower the sector to take control of their livelihoods, their homes, their families and understand that not everything is as it seems. Which potential ASQA would you rather see? #asqa #vetreform #potential #empowerment https://youtu.be/CDfODBfKVBw
06.01.2022 PLEASE NOTE: The RTO Doctor phone number is currently experiencing Telstra issues and not working, they can't tell me what it is and don't know when they will be able to. It was first reported on 7 October 2020 when I was told it was fixed and I have again reported it today.... Please send an email, inbox or contact me via the website or SMS (which apparently is working) if you wish to contact me. I apologise for the inconvenience caused but I know most of you will understand when I say 'Bloody Telstra'! https://rtodoctor.com.au/contact/ #bloodytelstra #telstracomplaints #lookingforadecenttelecommunicationsprovider
06.01.2022 On 25 March 2020, I contacted ASQA on behalf of a number of providers to ask that the FAQs around COVID19 be updated to reflect some of their questions. I have been monitoring the ASQA website and I haven't seen these updates on the website. ASQA have just come back to me and I have updated the RTO Doctor Academy with the responses - Some of them might surprise you!...

06.01.2022 Blaming me for causing this man’s decision to suicide is ridiculous When Australia's VET sector gets to the point where the mental health (and physical, psychological, spiritual health) of its workforce is being critically compromised as a result of regulation, it's time that the highest levels of government start to pay attention.
