New RTO CEO First 4 Weeks Checklist

John Liddicoat28 April 20262 min read

Why this checklist exists

New RTO CEOs inherit systems they did not design, evidence they did not collect, and compliance exposure they may not yet understand. The first four weeks should not be spent reading every document in isolation. They should establish where the RTO is controlled, where it is fragile, and which decisions require immediate attention.

Week 1: Confirm the licence position

  • Confirm the current scope of registration and delivery locations
  • Check recent ASQA correspondence, audit outcomes and rectification history
  • Identify funding contracts, third-party arrangements and high-risk delivery areas
  • Confirm who owns compliance reporting and who can produce evidence on request
  • Review current board or governance reporting for compliance and quality
