Hello, superheroes, and welcome to the RTO Superhero Podcast! I’m your host, Angela Connell-Richards, and this year we’re diving headfirst into the exciting and ever-changing world of compliance with the Revised Standards for RTOs, effective 1 July 2025.
This season is dedicated to helping RTOs prepare, adapt, and thrive under these new standards. We’ll explore everything from Outcome Standards and the Credential Policy to Compliance Requirements and how they impact your organisation. Whether you're an RTO owner, manager, trainer, or compliance officer, our mission is to empower you to turn these challenges into opportunities for success.
Drawing on my experience operating two RTOs, working with regulators, and managing compliance transformations, I’ll share insights, strategies, and practical tips to help you:

• Develop and refine your policies and procedures to align with the revised standards.
• Build stronger training and assessment systems that support industry-ready outcomes.
• Ensure your team is equipped to deliver quality training and meet compliance benchmarks.

This season, we’ll also feature special guests, including experienced consultants like Lauren Hollows, who will share their expertise on implementing the new standards and preparing for audits. You’ll gain access to real-world examples, actionable advice, and innovative tools, including how AI is shaping compliance processes.
Our superhero theme celebrates you—the leaders, trainers, and managers shaping the future of vocational education. Each episode is designed to inspire, inform, and equip you to take charge of your compliance journey.

Remember, compliance doesn’t have to be daunting—it can be your superpower! Tune in every month as we demystify the Revised Standards for RTOs and guide your organisation to sustainable success.
