Resources & research guides

Practical starting points for researching education requirements, with direct links to primary publishers.

Research with a clear question.

Start with the requirement

Identify the relevant legislation or standard, then use guidance to understand the regulator’s published approach.

Prepare an application research trail

Read the relevant application guide and supporting policies. Keep a list of the source versions and evidence you need to investigate.

Read decisions in context

Check the date, facts, decision-maker and outcome. A decision about another provider may not determine your circumstances.

Verify what applies today

Compare the stored source with the publisher’s current version, including amendments and commencement dates.

Go to the primary source.

These links open the publishers’ public websites. Their own access conditions apply.

Your next question deserves a better starting point.

Explore the collections, follow the original sources, or speak with CAQA about access.
