Risk assessment cycle

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?

  1. Provider risk assessments will continue to be treated confidentially by TEQSA.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
