courses to ensure nationally approved quality standards are met. ASQA regulates in accordance

the Standards for Accredited Courses.
ASQA is professional and forward looking, and committed to a culture of quality management
assuring both the quality of VET through national regulation and to the improvement in the
quality of VET outcomes.

sharing of knowledge. ASQA celebrates diversity and values work life balance.
