Again, Senator Bernardi, this goes directly to what was agreed by the skills ministers at their most recent meeting. It was unanimously agreed that it is so important for ASQA to adopt an educative role and actually work with many of the small RTOs. This is a significant step. It is a significant step which the government believes will benefit every stakeholder in the VET sector, including students, registered training organisations and employers. The government obviously will assist ASQA in improving its regulatory approach. We will support ASQA to ensure that audit decisions are transparent and training providers have the right support to deliver quality training.
