Why RTOs choose ComplyHub
Governance is a first-class citizen
ComplyHub includes a native Governance Meetings module — every board decision, action and review becomes defensible audit evidence, not a document in someone's inbox.
One system, five role portals
Trainers see their currency and evidence. Student Support Officers see their caseload. Students track their own compliance touchpoints. Employers see placement and engagement records. Regulatory Officers get read-only, mapped evidence. No exports, no chaos.
AI-assisted, not AI-hyped
ComplyBot answers Standards for RTOs 2025 questions, drafts policy language and surfaces the exact evidence that maps to each clause — reducing hours of compliance admin per week.
Frequently asked questions
Is ComplyHub a direct alternative to RTOSafe?+
Yes. Both are Australian compliance platforms for RTOs aligned to the 2025 Standards. ComplyHub is broader in scope, adding native governance, a TAS Quality Engine, role-based portals and an AI assistant alongside the evidence and register capabilities that RTOSafe focuses on. Compare both against your own workflow before deciding.
How does ComplyHub pricing compare?+
ComplyHub Starter is $295/month (AUD, ex GST). RTOSafe's entry-level Starter tier is $395/month, per RTOSafe's public pricing page at the time of writing. ComplyHub Growth, Scale and Enterprise plans scale with users, documents and storage, and all ComplyHub prices are published on the pricing page.
Do I need to leave RTOSafe to try ComplyHub?+
No. You can request a ComplyHub 14-Day Trial and run it alongside your existing tools, then decide based on your own workflow. Once your trial request is saved, setup and activation follow as a separate step. Nothing in your current RTOSafe account needs to change while you evaluate.
Does ComplyHub replace my Student Management System?+
No. ComplyHub is the compliance layer that sits alongside your SMS, such as aXcelerate, VETtrak or PowerPro, connected via API or CSV. Your enrolments, AVETMISS reporting and certificates stay in your SMS, so there is no student data migration and no disruption to training delivery.
How does ComplyHub support governance under the 2025 Standards?+
ComplyHub's Governance Meeting Manager supports Quality Area 4 – Governance (Standards 4.1–4.4). It builds agendas from live register data, records decisions and actions, and tracks follow-through, so Governing Persons have an evidence trail showing how they oversee compliance, manage risk and respond to improvement findings between audits.
