In this episode Claire speaks with two more VET experts on the simple changes ASQA could make to improve its regulatory approach. The conversation was recorded just before ASQA released its consultation paper on its new fee structure in a full-cost recovery environment.

Judith Bowler heads up RTO Advance (http://rtoadvance.com.au) and Kerri Buttery leads VETNexus (https://vetnexus.com.au)

If you haven't seen the ASQA consultation paper it's available on their website https://www.asqa.gov.au/about/fees-and-charges/provide-feedback-proposed-asqa-fees-and-charges-2020-21 and you have until 9 December to provide your feedback.

A few of the suggestions made by Kerri and Judith echo the regulatory approaches and tools previously in use at the National Audit and Registration Agency. If you're interested in finding out more see: https://www.clairefield.com.au/the-nara-model/

Finally a thank you to the sponsors of the show CareerFAQs (https://www.careerfaqs.com.au)
