Frequently asked
What format is the tool?
A Microsoft Excel workbook (.xlsx). It opens in Excel, Google Sheets and other spreadsheet apps. Everything is editable so you can adapt it to your RTO.
Is the $77 price including GST?
Yes. $77 AUD is the total price including GST. A tax invoice is issued automatically by Stripe after purchase.
How is this different from the free version?
The free light version gives you 2 of the 7 domains and 9 sample risks so you can see exactly how the tool works. The full version unlocks all 7 domains and all 40 risks.
Is this compliance advice?
No. It's a practical general risk-management template to help you identify and manage common RTO risks. It doesn't replace tailored advice for your specific circumstances — if you'd like hands-on support, RTO Consulting can help.
Can I reuse it?
Yes — it's yours to keep and reuse internally across audits, management reviews and self-assurance activities for your own RTO.
