The regulators in the training sector force down the quality of training by subjecting good training organisations to endless work on compliance while simultaneously ignoring the results achieved by those training organisations. The word ‘results’ does not appear anywhere in the NVR Act or ASQA’s website. ASQA ignores the considered feedback of the aged care facility managers employing aged care workers, so it has no idea whether its approach to monitoring and enforcing compliance bears any relationship to the needs of the industry.
In addition, ASQA, as is the case with most bureaucracies, hates innovation. The reason is simple; innovative strategies and operations are too hard for them to comprehend in their tick-box culture. ASQA damages RTO’s if they are innovative irrespective of results.
