The Australian National Audit Office is the national auditor for the Parliament of Australia and the Government of Australia. It reports directly to the Australian Parliament via the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate. 

ANAO has scheduled a potential “performance audit” of Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) for its 2019-2020 regulatory activities. For more information, please refer to https://www.anao.gov.au/work/performance-audit/australian-skills-quality-authority 

This audit would examine the effectiveness of the Australian Skills Quality Authority’s (ASQA’s) operations. ASQA is the national regulator for Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) sector. It provides regulatory oversight for the VET sector in all states and territories except Western Australia and Victoria, where its remit is limited to courses taught nationally from registered training organisations in these jurisdictions. In 2018–19, ASQA’s budget was $54 million.

All training organisations are encouraged to contact ANAO through their “contact us” page if you would like to submit any information regarding Australian Skills Quality Authority or its officers.
