We are proud to announce the formalisation of our long-standing relationship with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
NEAS and ASQA have enjoyed a productive and collaborative partnership since ASQA’s inception: working side by side, supporting providers, listening to the sector, and promoting the values of quality and integrity. Over time, both organisations have found strong alignment in values, building a relationship grounded in trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to serving the sector.
“This MOU establishes a strong framework for collaboration between NEAS and ASQA. It allows us to share information more effectively, build a clearer appreciation of risk through data, and strengthen a positive sector culture. Together, we are committed to supporting high-quality providers who are dedicated to innovation, best practice, and continuous improvement.” – Adam Kilburn, CEO, NEAS
As part of this formalised partnership, NEAS and ASQA meet regularly and have developed a program of shared interests and activities.

Together, NEAS and ASQA remain committed to advancing quality and continuous improvement across the ELT and wider education sector.
