Legislation¶
The legislative instruments that govern the Australian VET sector and RTOpacks' compliance requirements. These are the source-of-truth documents that every module spec, compliance dimension, and audit surface in RTOpacks is built against.
Companion: For distilled, RTOpacks-structured reference versions of these instruments — mapped to product modules — see ../standards/. Raw instruments here remain authoritative; standards/ is the working reference layer.
Standards for RTOs 2025¶
The primary legislative instrument establishing the outcome standards for nationally recognised training.
- Standards for RTOs 2025 — National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Outcome Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations) Instrument 2025 (F2025L00354)

Credential Policy¶
The legislative instrument and policy governing trainer and assessor credentials — the framework behind People module's credential sections (1A–1E) and the can_make_assessment_judgements derivation.
