Compliance Consultant – VET & CRICOS
Join a consultancy that’s fresh, fun, and genuinely different.

📍 Southport, QLD | 🐾 Pet-Friendly Office | 🧠 Industry Leaders | 💻 Hybrid Work Model

Looking for a role where compliance is done with clarity, creativity, and a touch of fun? You’ve just found it.

Hawkeye Consultancy is on the lookout for a sharp, solutions-focused Compliance Consultant to join our friendly Southport team. You’ll work with a diverse mix of RTOs, CRICOS, ELICOS and dual sector providers - supporting them to stay on top of their obligations while enjoying a culture that’s professional, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

At Hawkeye, we take pride in making compliance make sense - for our clients, and for our team.

About the role

This is a full-time opportunity where you’ll work directly with a range of education and training providers across Australia. From delivering audits and assessments to designing compliance frameworks and running workshops, no two days are the same.

You’ll also:

Conduct comprehensive audits, internal reviews and risk assessments for RTOs and dual-sector providers

Develop and implement tailored policies, systems and compliance strategies

Provide tailored compliance advice across CRICOS, ELICOS, VET, and state funding programs (e.g. Skills First, DESBT SAS, Smart and Skilled)

Facilitate workshops, training sessions and client onboarding with confidence and clarity

Keep your finger on the pulse with current legislation, regulatory updates and sector reforms

Work closely with our internal team to share knowledge and grow our collective capability

What we’re looking for

5+ years’ experience in a compliance, audit or regulatory advisory role - VET sector experience essential

Strong working knowledge of the Standards for RTOs, ESOS Act, National Code and related frameworks

A confident communicator with great presentation and interpersonal skills

Sharp attention to detail and a natural problem-solver

Comfortable managing multiple client projects and juggling deadlines

Tertiary qualifications in education, business, law or a related field (desirable)

Bonus points if you’ve worked in an RTO or held an ASQA-facing role before

Why Hawkeye?

We’re not your typical compliance consultancy. At Hawkeye, we believe in making compliance make sense. That means we bring clarity, integrity and a bit of heart to everything we do.

When you join our team, you’ll enjoy:

✅ A supportive, down-to-earth workplace culture (yes, we really like each other)
✅ A modern, pet-friendly Southport office and good coffee
✅ A hybrid work model that gives you flexibility without sacrificing connection
