A working definition of self-assurance - ASQA

Self-assurance refers to how providers manage their operations to ensure a focus on quality, continuous improvement and ongoing compliance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 (the Standards).
Under a self-assurance model, quality and continuous improvement are shared responsibilities through the different roles of individual providers, sector leaders and the national regulator.
It involves providers having systems in place to critically examine their performance against the Standards and training outcomes, on an ongoing basis, to meet obligations and to identify ways to continuously improve outcomes.
This coincides with the revised quality standards ready for release on 1 January 2025
