ComplyHub

Over 80 apprentices in central Queensland have been left without a training provider — and our CEO Angela Connell-Richards spoke with ABC News about why she expects more closures to follow.

The provider that trained Rockhampton's electricians for more than a decade shut in April. The apprentices who were nearly qualified are now travelling to Brisbane at their own expense. The ones who were about to start can't.

Angela's point to the ABC was that this isn't a quality problem. Good providers are closing because the numbers no longer work — squeezed on revenue by fee-free TAFE, while the cost of holding registration keeps climbing.

That's the problem we set out to solve. Compliance shouldn't be the cost that decides whether a good RTO stays open.

We make Compliance Simple!

Electrician school closure leaves more than 80 apprentices in limbo Small businesses in central Queensland say they are fed up as their apprentices are left with almost nowhere to train.

Good governance doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from making informed decisions, managing risk, and having the right systems to support your organisation every day, not just when an audit is approaching.

That’s exactly why The Governance Shift was written.

The book explores what the Standards for RTOs 2025 mean for RTO leaders and provides practical guidance to help organisations move beyond compliance and build a culture of effective governance.

At ComplyHub, this same philosophy is built into the platform.

From governance meeting management and risk registers to action tracking, evidence collection, and AI-powered compliance guidance, ComplyHub helps RTOs put the principles of good governance into practice.

The book explains the “why.”

ComplyHub helps you deliver the “how.”

If you’re looking to strengthen governance, improve oversight, and stay audit ready throughout the year, The Governance Shift and ComplyHub are designed to work together.
