With a little over 8 weeks to go until the biggest VET event of the year, it’s time to start introducing the players. This year, there will be nine different streams across two days of PD-packed sessions.
This week we showcase RTO Management & Compliance - Hall B: This stream provides a wide range of topics related to both management and compliance from a management perspective. This includes leadership, managing people, managing resources, compliance with standards related to the overall RTO, privacy and national funding arrangements.

With over 20 years’ experience in VET and business management including FITAB CEO, Tamara’s mantra to RTOs is “if you don’t like compliance and don’t like change, then don’t work for an RTO or be one”.
