The Western Australian Department of Education then released its Guide to the Registration Standards and Other Requirements for Non-Government Schools (re-named as the 2020 Guide). We wrote about the 2020 Guide in [this recent article](https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/western-australian-registration-2020-guide-released). CompliSpace has produced a Briefing Paper “WA Registration Requirements Update”. It covers the following: - Structure of the Standards and the Guide - Summary of Changes to the Standards - Changes to Definitions in the Standards and the Guide - Key Changes to the Guide - Key Changes to the Standards - What Should Schools Be Doing? - How CompliSpace Can Help.
