Organisational Chart TEMPLATE

The CWTS Organisational Chart Template is a fully editable, rebrand-ready template aligned to the Standards for RTOs 2025. Designed for RTO owners, executive managers, and compliance officers responsible for documenting and communicating the management structure of their organisation, it provides a structured framework for depicting the reporting lines, authority relationships, and key roles within your RTO in a clear, visual format that supports both internal governance and external compliance requirements.
 
A documented organisational chart is a governance requirement that serves multiple compliance purposes simultaneously. The Standards for RTOs 2025 require your RTO to clearly identify its accountable executive and demonstrate that authority and responsibility within the organisation are clearly defined and understood. An organisational chart that accurately reflects your RTO's management structure gives ASQA immediate visibility of who holds authority over compliance decisions, how reporting lines are structured, and whether the governance arrangements your RTO has documented in policy are reflected in its actual operational structure. For staff, a clear organisational chart removes ambiguity about reporting relationships, escalation pathways, and decision-making authority, which supports the kind of structured, accountable operation the Standards expect.
 
This template provides a consistent, auditable framework for documenting and maintaining your RTO's management structure. It aligns to clauses 4.1 and 4.2 of the Standards for RTOs 2025 and was developed in conjunction with the Management and Governance Policy Procedure. It includes the following:
 
Editable organisational chart structure depicting key roles and reporting lines
Accountable executive and high managerial agent identification fields
Training and assessment, compliance, and administration function groupings
Authority and delegation relationship documentation section
Version control and review date fields for governance and audit trail purposes
Guidance notes for maintaining currency as staffing arrangements change
