With the new Standards for RTOs 2025 coming into effect on 1 July 2025, many providers are unsure if their current systems and evidence will meet the updated requirements. Audit Express created the Mind the Gap service to give RTOs a clear, independent assessment of their readiness for the new Standards and to provide a practical roadmap for compliance.
The Challenge
Transitioning to the new Standards requires more than updating a few policies. RTOs need to ensure that every aspect of their operation, from governance to student evidence, aligns with the updated regulatory framework.
Common challenges include:
Uncertainty about where compliance gaps actually exist
Lack of structured self-assessment against the new Standards
Assuming existing systems are sufficient without testing them against updated requirements
Failing to address these gaps early can result in last-minute rectifications, non-compliance findings or costly registration risks.
Who This is For
Our Solutions
Our GAP Assessment helps RTOs navigate the transition to the Standards for RTOs 2025 with clarity and confidence. By reviewing your systems, processes and evidence against every clause, we identify risks early and provide a clear action plan to strengthen compliance and support a smooth transition.
GAP Analysis
Our GAP Analysis is a comprehensive review of your RTO’s systems, processes and evidence against the Standards for RTOs 2025. The process includes:
- Document and Systems Review
We assess policies, procedures, student records and compliance controls against each clause of the new Standards. - Risk Identification
Our team highlights specific areas of non-compliance or potential exposure before they are flagged in an external audit. - Action Plan Development
You receive a clear, prioritised action plan with recommendations to close identified gaps and strengthen compliance systems.
The result is a practical, evidence-based roadmap that allows your organisation to transition to the new Standards with confidence.
