The risk assessment cycle occurring in 2025
The risk assessment cycle occurring in 2025 uses the indicators set out in the TEQSA Risk Assessment Framework.
For this cycle we will:
- include risk assessment for 2023 student, staff data and audited financial data
- continue to share provisional risk assessment reports with providers. Providers will have an opportunity to comment on the provisional report before a final risk assessment report is completed.
As TEQSA requires multi-year data for several risk assessment metrics, providers registered after 1 January 2022, will not receive a risk assessment report.
Frequently asked questions for the risk assessment cycle occurring in 2025 are also published to assist providers.
What stays the same?
- Provider risk assessments will continue to be treated confidentially by TEQSA.
- The outcome of the risk assessments will continue to inform TEQSA’s approach to regulation, which is guided by principles of risk, necessity, and proportionality.
- Regulatory history continues to be used to inform risk ratings. TEQSA weighs regulatory decisions made from 1 January 2022, and any active conditions on the provider’s registration when determining the overall ratings.
