Location Details

Potential
Significant growth potential through expansion into high-demand sectors including aged care and early childhood education, building on the existing community services and disability support scope. Scope to grow enrolments through apprenticeship pathways and employer-funded training partnerships. Strategically positioned for future CRICOS registration, the business already satisfies the new 2-year domestic delivery requirement introduced in December 2025, giving an incoming owner a built-in head start that no new entrant can replicate.
Skills
Familiarity with ASQA compliance and the Standards for RTOs 2025 is an advantage. Business management experience is beneficial for overseeing daily operations, staff, and student enrolments. A background in or passion for the personal services or creative industries will help, though the existing team provides strong operational continuity for a new owner.

Lease
Purpose-built, Class 9B approved facility with operational salon generating active income. Details available post-NDA

Reason for Sale
The vendor is pursuing other interests and has made the decision to transition out of the business after many years of dedicated operation. The business is in good standing and is being offered as a going concern with all systems, staff, and accreditations in place.
About the Business
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully accredited, long-standing Registered Training Organisation located in Regional NSW.
Operating for over 30 years, the college delivers 19 nationally recognised qualifications across hairdressing, barbering, beauty therapy, make-up artistry, business and leadership, community services, disability support, and screen and media. Training is delivered face-to-face from a purpose-built, Class 9B approved facility that includes an operational salon generating active revenue, giving students hands-on practical experience from day one.
The college holds an active RTO registration with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and is an approved provider under the NSW Smart and Skilled program. Smart and Skilled approval gives eligible domestic students access to government-subsidised training, providing the business with a consistent enrolment pipeline that is not solely dependent on full-fee paying students. The college maintains constant enrolments, with a new batch of students currently commencing.
All key systems, processes, accreditations, and staff are in place and operational. The business has built a strong reputation over decades in its local community, with a track record of positive student outcomes and industry-connected training delivery.
For buyers with an eye on the international student market, this business carries a strategic advantage that cannot be purchased separately. Legislation that came into effect in December 2025 now requires new private VET providers to demonstrate two years of domestic student delivery before becoming eligible to apply for CRICOS registration. On 19 May 2026, the Australian Government also activated a 12-month freeze on all new CRICOS registrations for private VET providers, running until 19 May 2027. This business already satisfies the two-year domestic delivery requirement today, positioning an incoming owner to apply for CRICOS registration the moment the freeze lifts, ahead of any new market entrant regardless of budget or resources.
Full financial information, lease details, staff structure, and due diligence materials are available to registered enquirers who have completed a confidentiality agreement. Contact Adept Business Brokers to register your interest.
