At a glance
eSkilled markets itself as the only complete RTO system — an SMS and LMS combined, with validation, risk, quality and trainer matrix modules layered on top. That is a genuine strength if you want to replace your delivery and student data platform in one move. ComplyHub takes the opposite position: your SMS and LMS are delivery systems, and compliance evidence is a governance discipline that deserves its own system. ComplyHub delivers 57 platform features, 29 integrated registers, a native Governance Meeting Manager, a TAS Builder and five role-based portals — and it sits alongside whatever you already use to enrol and teach.

Why RTOs choose ComplyHub
An LMS proves delivery. It does not prove governance.
Learning platforms are built to move students through content. The Standards for RTOs 2025 ask a different question: can your Governing Persons demonstrate they had oversight, made decisions on evidence, and acted on risk? That evidence lives in meetings, registers and decisions — not in course completion data. ComplyHub is built around that evidence.
You do not have to replace your systems to fix compliance.
Moving your enrolments, AVETMISS reporting and course delivery to a new vendor is a twelve-month project with real operational risk. ComplyHub connects to aXcelerate, VETtrak and PowerPro and is running inside weeks, so your compliance position improves without disrupting delivery.
Governance is native, not a module.
ComplyHub includes a built-in Governance Meeting Manager. Every agenda item, decision and action is linked to the clause it addresses and the register it draws from — so the meeting itself becomes defensible evidence under Quality Area 4 – Governance (Standards 4.1–4.4).
Built for domestic RTOs and the 2025 Standards only.
ComplyHub is not a general-purpose platform adapted for Australia. Every register, workflow and ComplyBot answer is calibrated to the Outcome Standards, the Compliance Requirements and the Credential Policy that ASQA actually regulates against.
Frequently asked questions
Is ComplyHub an alternative to eSkilled?+
It depends on what you are solving. If you need to replace your student management system and learning platform together, eSkilled is a genuine all-in-one option. If your problem is compliance evidence, governance oversight and audit readiness, ComplyHub is purpose-built for that and works with the systems you already run.
Does ComplyHub include an LMS?+
No. ComplyHub is not a learning management system and does not deliver courses, host content or run virtual classrooms. Keep your existing LMS — ComplyHub is the compliance and governance layer above it, linking training activity, trainer currency and validation findings to the Standards for RTOs 2025.
Does ComplyHub replace my Student Management System?+
Not today. ComplyHub integrates with aXcelerate, VETtrak and PowerPro via API or CSV, so enrolments, AVETMISS reporting and certificates stay where they are. A ComplyHub SMS is in development for release in October 2026, and it will be an option — not a requirement. Our integrations remain fully supported either way.
Why would an RTO run two systems instead of one?+
Because delivery data and compliance evidence answer different questions. An all-in-one platform optimises for enrolment and delivery workflow; a compliance system optimises for defensible evidence, governance oversight and audit response. Most RTOs that fail an audit do not fail on delivery data — they fail on evidence and governance.
How quickly can ComplyHub be implemented?+
Because there is no student data migration, most RTOs are operating in ComplyHub within weeks. You can request a 14-Day Trial and run it alongside your current systems before making any decision. Registers, documents and trainer records can be imported by CSV, so existing evidence comes with you.
