What it does
Everything below runs on the public register — free, no account
Scope
Reads your whole live scope
Against the register, and tells you which products are superseded — not the historical entries the register publishes alongside it, which quietly inflate a naive count.
The clock
Reads off the item 14 clock
For every superseded product on your scope it shows the date new enrolments must stop — one year from the date the replacement was included on the National Register (s 14(1)(a)(i), as ASQA's published guidance reads it) — and where ASQA has published an extension, the date we show already includes it. The second clock is explicit too: learners already enrolled have no fixed deadline — they finish, certify or transfer in a timely manner.
The chain
Resolves the supersession chain
Often the replacement has itself been superseded; we follow it to whatever is current today, and show the register's own equivalence marking on every hop.
The map
Maps every superseded product unit by unit
What stays, what is renumbered, what changed, core units marked — straight from the register.
The cross
Crosses an enrolment export against the register, in the browser
Drop in the file your student system generates and see which learners sit in superseded products — the file never leaves the machine.
The watch
Watches your scope
Emails you when a move changes what you have to do — a qualification superseded, a core unit superseded, a replacement marked NOT equivalent, a new-enrolment clock starting, your registration status changing, or a product of yours landing on the National Schedule of upcoming reviews. An elective whose replacement is equivalent doesn't email you; it still shows in your reports. The first email carries your breakdown, most urgent first — and says how many more there are when a scope holds more than one email shows; after that, an email means a change on your scope — or a deadline closing in: one email at 90, 30 and 7 days before a superseded product stops taking new enrolments or leaves your scope.
Ahead
Crosses your scope against the National Schedule
Of Training Product Development — so you can see what is being redeveloped before it lands.
Every product
Publishes a page for every training product
One per qualification, skill set, unit and accredited course — with its status and its chain.
What it is not
Defined by function — we name no one
- Not a compliance management platform. No validation schedules, no risk register, no TAS, no QMS, no professional-development evidence. It does one thing — it turns a superseded product on your scope into a transition record: what the register says about it, down to whether each replacement is flagged not equivalent, and then each of your own learners measured against the current qualification — and it is built to sit alongside whatever else you already run.
- Not a regulator and not affiliated with one. We are not ASQA and we have no relationship with the department. We restate a public register; whether a supersession requires anything of you sits between you and your regulator.
- Not an auditor. We never assess anyone's compliance and never say anyone is non-compliant. We read the register and the legislation; we do not assess compliance. We say what the register publishes, and we say what we cannot see.
- Not a student management system. We do not hold enrolments. Who is enrolled in what only lives in your own system — and that is exactly the boundary the paid part exists to cross: drop in the export that system already generates, your browser strips the names before anything is sent, and each learner comes back measured against the current qualification.
- Not a newsletter. There is one scheduled email in the whole product and it is off by default. Everything else arrives because the register moved — or because a date it publishes is now 90, 30 and 7 days away.
The questions people actually ask
Answered in a sentence each — quotable whole
- What is Register Radar?
- Register Radar is an Australian service that turns a superseded training product into a transition record. It reads training.gov.au — the national register of vocational education and training — and for each superseded product on a registered training organisation's live scope it reads off the item 14 legal clock: the date from which new enrolments into the old product are not permitted, computed from the date the replacement was included on the register. The paid part, The Transition File, then measures each of the RTO's own learners against the current qualification and returns a worksheet in keying order — AVETMISS outcome codes included — inside a dashboard that keeps a dated decision log.
- Who is it for?
- Registered training organisations in Australia, and the compliance managers, CEOs and consultants who look after their scope of registration. It is not for learners.
- Is Register Radar the same as a compliance management platform?
- No. It does not do validation, risk registers, TAS, quality management systems or professional-development evidence. It does one thing: it turns a superseded product on your scope into a transition record — from the register, the replacement, whether the register flags it as not equivalent and the date the law stops new enrolments into it, free; from your own export, each learner measured against the current qualification, paid. It is built to sit alongside whatever else you already run.
- What does it cost?
- Everything computed from the public register is free and stays free: the scope check, the supersession chain, the unit-by-unit map, the item 14 transition clock, and the watch. The only paid part is The Transition File, which measures each of your own learners against the current qualification — from $290 AUD a month, sized by your live scope. Until 31 December 2026, the code FOUNDER100 makes the first month free for the first 100 redemptions — checkout asks for a card, and it renews at your tier's monthly price unless you cancel.
- Where does the data come from?
- Entirely from training.gov.au, the Australian Government's national register, which is public. We restate and recompute what it publishes; we do not add private data to it and we do not assess anyone's compliance. Where the register is silent, we say so rather than guess.
- Why does a superseded product matter?
- Because transitioning it is a legal requirement, not a preference — item 14 of the 2025 compliance standards (F2025L00355, in force 1 July 2025), which binds ASQA-registered providers. Once a replacement enters the register, the old product closes to new enrolments a year later — s 14(1)(a)(i), as ASQA's published guidance reads it; ASQA can extend that date, and where an extension is published, the date we show already includes it. Students already enrolled have no fixed deadline: they finish, certify or transfer in a timely manner. We restate the register and the legislation; whether any of this requires something of you sits between you and your regulator.
- Do you need access to our student data?
- No. The free service needs only a public RTO code. For the paid Transition File you drop in the export your student system already generates — a CSV, or the AVETMISS NAT00120, as-is: your browser strips the names before anything is sent, and what we receive is a reference, the units and the results — plus, where your export carries them, a completion date, a program code and a delivery location. The name-to-reference map never leaves your machine. A file that still carries a name, a date of birth or a USI is rejected outright — the failing check named, never the value — before any row is measured or stored. The enrolment cross-check on registerradar.com/cross also runs entirely inside your own browser: the file itself is never uploaded.
- Who runs it?
- One person: Jonathan Fernandez, the founder. It is self-funded and was founded in 2026. A person reads every email sent to contact@registerradar.com.
How to judge it in two minutes
Do not take any of this on trust
Type your RTO code into the check on the front page: it reads your live scope from the register while you wait and shows you what it finds, with no account and no email. If the numbers are wrong, you will know in two minutes and you can close the tab. That is the fastest way to judge a service that sells accuracy — and it is why the check asks for nothing.
The same reading, done across every provider we could read: of 3,839 Australian RTOs with a current registration, 1,186 had at least one superseded qualification, accredited course or skill set on live scope — each one on an item 14 clock. Method and limits are on the study page.
