Your RTO faces almost the same compliance workload as a 2,000-student provider

For small independent RTOs who've found that Standards for RTOs compliance costs don't scale down with their size — tens of thousands to register, thousands per audit, and a compliance consultant retainer most can't justify.

What people are putting up with today

  • Compliance costs do not scale proportionally with revenue; a 200-student RTO faces many of the same requirements as a 2,000-student RTO.

  • Estimated costs are $11,000 to $18,000 to register as a local RTO, or $20,000 to $28,000 for a CRICOS RTO — before a single audit.

  • Internal audit costs can vary from $2,500 to $6,500 depending on the auditor's experience and your scope of registration — every time.

How Readyclause works

Readyclause is a fixed-fee audit-readiness sprint built for RTOs too small to justify an ongoing compliance retainer. Send your policies, training and assessment strategies and a sample of student files, and within five business days you get a clause-by-clause gap report against the current Standards for RTOs and a prioritised fix list — the same expert review an ongoing retainer gives you, without signing up for the retainer.

  1. 01

    Send your current policies, training and assessment strategies and a sample of student files through a short intake form.

  2. 02

    A compliance specialist checks every clause of the current Standards for RTOs against your evidence and flags exactly what's missing.

  3. 03

    Within five business days you get a written gap report and a prioritised fix list — one fixed fee, no ongoing retainer.
