ASQA audits rarely feel convenient. They can arrive with little notice, cover a broad range of obligations, and for CRICOS providers, carry consequences that extend well beyond a typical compliance review. A finding under the National Code or the Standards for RTOs 2025 can quickly put your CRICOS registration, your international student enrolments, and your organisation's reputation on the line. 

The good news is that audit readiness is entirely within your control. This practical 60-minute webinar led by Alex Schroder gives CRICOS providers a clear, actionable framework to assess their current compliance position, close the gaps before an audit arrives, and respond effectively when ASQA makes contact. 

What we'll cover: 

- How ASQA selects CRICOS providers for audit - the risk indicators and triggers you need to be aware of. 

- The different types of ASQA audit activity and what each one means for your organisation. 

- What ASQA auditors look for across the Standards for RTOs 2025 and the National Code - the most common compliance gaps at CRICOS providers. 

- How to conduct an internal audit readiness review before ASQA arrives. 

- Document management and evidence organisation - how to ensure your records are audit-ready at all times. 

- The obligations specific to CRICOS providers most frequently scrutinised: student support and welfare, marketing and recruitment and course progress monitoring. 

- How to brief your staff ahead of an audit - what to say, and what not to say, to ASQA auditors. 

- What happens during and immediately after an on-site audit visit and how to manage the process professionally. 

Who should attend 

This webinar is designed for compliance managers, international student coordinators, quality assurance professionals, and senior leaders at CRICOS-registered providers. It is equally valuable for organisations that have recently been audited and want to strengthen their systems, and those who have never been audited and want to ensure they are prepared when the time comes.
