Compliance, audit readiness, and capability that holds up under scrutiny.
We guide Registered Training Organisations through every stage of regulatory compliance: from registration and audit preparation to ongoing standards management and workforce capability.
End-to-end RTO advisory built on real-world experience
Silver Lining Advisory Solutions provides specialised advisory and compliance support to Registered Training Organisations across Australia. Led by Asha Duraiswamy, a former RTO General Manager and current Executive Academic Board Member at Howland Academy, we bring practical, first-hand experience in navigating ASQA standards, audit preparation, and sustainable compliance management.
We understand the complexities of the VET sector because we've worked within it. Our approach combines regulatory expertise with operational insight to help RTOs build governance frameworks, prepare for audits, and maintain ongoing compliance with confidence.
We support RTOs across four core capability areas.
How we can help
Practical RTO advisory services that turn regulatory complexity into sustainable compliance.
Registration & Establishment Support
Set up governance frameworks, policies, and evidence systems to meet ASQA registration requirements and build a strong compliance foundation.
Audit Readiness & Preparation
Prepare for ASQA audits through pre-audit reviews, evidence alignment, gap analysis, and practical remediation planning.
Ongoing Standards Management
Maintain continuous compliance through internal audits, documentation management, and regulatory update guidance.
Professional Development & Capability
Build workforce capability through TAE/CPD support, trainer currency programs, and compliance-aligned leadership development.
Why This Matters (2025 Standards)
Under the 2025 Standards, RTOs must demonstrate that staff maintain current skills, knowledge, and professional practice through ongoing PD and CPD activities. Done well, professional development strengthens training quality, improves learner outcomes, reduces risk, and supports audit confidence.
