A Statement of Regulatory Expectations (SRE) is a regulatory tool TEQSA uses to address systemic ongoing or acute emerging risks to compliance with the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021.
A SRE is not a legislative instrument. A SRE clearly sets out TEQSA’s expectations of the types of actions, improvements and monitoring that providers should be putting in place to understand and manage a key issue or risk. It provides a level of detail to clearly and transparently communicate TEQSA's expectations. It should be used by providers to assess their systems, processes and monitoring and to take corrective or improvement actions where needed. A SRE may also set out TEQSA's expectations about the type of information that the senior executive and governing body should receive to inform their active oversight and accountability for the issue.
By publishing a SRE, TEQSA is giving the sector greater transparency around how TEQSA interprets the standards and what we will look for through our compliance activities to assure providers continue to meet the Threshold Standards.
