RTO Compliance Software Built for the Standards for RTOs 2025.
ComplyHub is the compliance and governance system for Australian RTOs — 29 integrated registers, native governance meetings, trainer currency, TAS quality control and audit-ready evidence. It works with the student management system you already run, so you fix compliance without replacing your delivery platform.
Most RTOs Do Not Have a Compliance System. They Have a Filing Habit.
Registers live in spreadsheets. Governance minutes live in someone's inbox. Trainer credentials live in a folder that was last reconciled two years ago. Validation happens, but the findings are never closed out. None of it is connected, so nobody can answer the only question that matters: what is our compliance position right now?
Under the Standards for RTOs 2025, governing persons need information to make informed decisions, with clear roles and lines of accountability. ASQA's Leadership and Accountability Practice Guide (Standards 4.1 and 4.2) explains these expectations. Connected meeting records, decisions and follow-up actions can support this evidence trail; software does not replace the RTO's judgement or responsibilities.
One System for Every Piece of Compliance Evidence
29 Integrated Compliance Registers
Governance and risk, students and support, training and assessment, VET workforce and document management. Every register is connected, searchable and mapped to the clause it evidences — not a folder of spreadsheets that nobody opens between audits.
Governance Meeting Manager
Agendas, minutes, decisions and actions captured in the system, linked to the registers and requirements they address. Standard 4.1 addresses informed decisions by governing persons; Standard 4.2 addresses clear roles and accountability. Meeting records help document that oversight.
Trainer & Assessor Matrix
Credentials, industry currency, professional development and supervision arrangements tracked per trainer against the units they deliver, with expiry alerts before a currency gap becomes an audit finding.
TAS Quality Engine
Build Training and Assessment Strategies mapped to units of competency, delivery modes, volume of learning and industry consultation evidence — with quality checks applied as the TAS is written.
Validation, Risk and Continuous Improvement
Schedule assessment validation, record findings, assign treatments and close the loop through the Continuous Improvement register — so improvement is a documented cycle rather than an annual scramble.
Audit-Ready Evidence Packs
Export a clause-referenced evidence pack, or give your auditor a read-only portal. The evidence trail is built as work happens, so responding to a regulator is a download rather than a project.
ComplyBot AI Assistant
Ask a question about the Outcome Standards, the Compliance Requirements or the Credential Policy and receive a referenced answer grounded in the actual regulatory text — plus live clause-level signals on your own compliance position.
Five Role-Based Portals
CEOs see risk and self-assurance. Compliance managers see registers and validations. Trainers see their own currency. Auditors get read-only mapped evidence. Administrators manage the workspace. One system, five views.
A Compliance System Is Not an SMS, and It Is Not an LMS
Vendors that started as learning or student platforms describe themselves as complete compliance solutions. They are excellent at what they were built for. Compliance evidence is a different discipline. The table shows typical primary purposes, not a feature audit of every vendor; individual SMS and LMS products may include additional compliance tools.
| Capability | Compliance System | SMS | LMS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enrolments, AVETMISS reporting and certificates | No | Yes | No |
| Course delivery, content and e-assessment | No | No | Yes |
| Governance meetings as audit evidence | Yes | No | No |
| Clause-mapped compliance registers | Yes | No | No |
| Trainer credential and currency matrix | Yes | No | No |
| TAS development and quality control | Yes | No | No |
| Assessment validation scheduling and findings | Yes | No | No |
| Continuous improvement cycle evidence | Yes | No | No |
| Board-level self-assurance reporting | Yes | No | No |
| One-click audit evidence pack | Yes | No | No |

Quality Area 3 — VET Workforce
Trainer and assessor credentials, currency, supervision and professional development tracked against the units each person delivers.
Quality Area 4 — Governance
Governance meetings, risk register, self-assurance reporting and continuous improvement — the evidence Governing Persons are personally accountable for.
