The Challenge
Higher education providers face an increasingly complex landscape. Key challenges include:
Maintaining compliance with the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards)
Strengthening academic governance structures to meet regulatory and sector expectations
Preparing for professional accreditation across a range of disciplines
Demonstrating a culture of continuous improvement to regulators, students and stakeholders
These obligations require more than policy documents. They demand systems, evidence and practices that can withstand scrutiny while supporting strategic growth.
Who This is For
Our Solutions
We partner with universities and higher education providers to strengthen compliance and governance. Through internal audits, governance reviews and accreditation support, we provide clear, evidence-based insights that prepare institutions for regulatory and professional reviews.
Internal Audits Against Threshold Standards
We conduct comprehensive internal audits mapped directly against the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards). Our audits provide a clear picture of compliance status, identify risks and offer practical recommendations to strengthen systems and evidence ahead of TEQSA reviews.
Academic Governance Reviews
Strong academic governance is the backbone of higher education quality. We review governance structures, policies and practices against sector benchmarks and regulatory expectations. Our reviews identify gaps and provide recommendations to enhance accountability, decision-making and quality assurance.
Project Focus Reviews
Targeted, project-specific reviews allow institutions to assess and strengthen critical initiatives such as new program development, course design, or strategic reforms. We provide an independent perspective that ensures projects are aligned with regulatory requirements and institutional goals.
Professional Accreditation Support
Professional accreditation is essential for many higher education programs. We assist institutions in preparing for accreditation reviews by aligning curriculum, assessment and governance systems with the requirements of professional bodies. Our support includes gap analysis, evidence mapping and pre-accreditation readiness reviews.
Independent Reviews
We provide fully independent reviews for governing bodies, offering objective assessments of institutional performance, compliance and risk. These reviews can support strategic decision-making, satisfy regulatory obligations and demonstrate accountability to key stakeholders.
