About Octossure
We're a team of RTO people, compliance specialists and engineers.
Octossure is a cloud platform built for Registered Training Organisations. It pulls your standards, evidence, tasks, and documents into one workspace.
Data flows automatically from trainers and assessors to compliance dashboards, giving managers a live view of what is compliant, overdue, or at risk. When an audit lands, Octossure generates an audit pack on demand—no preparation, no manual collation.

Why choose us
Octossure was built for self-assurance, not last-minute audit recovery.
We're often asked where the name came from. When ASQA released its Self-Assurance approach to regulation in 2022, we were already deep in product ideation. It was clear we were building a self-assurance system for RTOs.
The name combines that assurance focus with an octagon mark: a practical symbol for the many connected parts of RTO compliance that need to move together.
The result is Octossure: one operating workspace for evidence, tasks, standards, risks, reports and continuous improvement.
Year-round compliance knowledge
Ask questions and see evidence status before an audit date forces the issue.
Personal compliance roadmap
Shape the workspace around your courses, campuses, risk profile and governance needs.
Built in Australia for Australian RTOs
Designed, hosted and supported locally for providers working under Australian VET regulation.
Compliance built into operations
Trainers, assessors and managers keep working while Octossure records the audit trail in the background.
