Top 8 Compliance Training Providers
Compliance training is critical for Australian businesses to educate employees on laws, regulations, and company policies that apply to their day-to-day job responsibilities.
Choosing the right Australian compliance training solution and platform for your organisation can be difficult. Do you want to find a reliable compliance training partner that will ensure your training content is engaging, relevant, up-to-date, meets the regulators’ needs, and is supported by an Australian team?
We set about assessing the leading providers across several different criteria, including learner engagement, reliability, variety, flexibility, customisation, legal accuracy and being backed by excellent customer support.

3. Elmo – 7.3 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐ Good
✓ Comprehensive HRIS
✓ Training is generic
✓ Provides a “tick-the-box” solution
✓ Single version of courses
✓ Limited compliance training support
If you want a broader HRIS this may be a part of your procurement review, but in our opinion, ELMO would be down your list to consider for your specific compliance training needs.
4. Go1 – 6.5 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐ Decent
✓ Excellent solution for individual learners and training in soft skills
✓ Vast range of courses from numerous providers all over the world
✓ Courses are currated and not managed, meaning updates are not the responsibility of Go1
✓ Customisation options are available through dealing with individual content providers
✓ Select reporting and scheduling options
Go1 may be a recommended option for soft skill education, however for businesses seeking a robust compliance training program, they may not be the best option from a legal perspective.
5. Kineo – 6.5 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐ Decent
✓ Text-focused courses so not to distract with interactivity or gamification.
✓ A single version of courses
✓ PC and tablet focused
✓ Provides a “tick-the-box” solution
In general, Kineo is cost-effective option suitable for one-off course purchasing if the training experience is not a priority (given the text-focused course design).
6. GRC Solutions – 6.2 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐ Decent
✓ Broad range of legal compliance, risk management and ethics training courses
✓ Offices in New York, Singapore and Australia to support an expanding number of jurisdictions around the world
✓ Proprietary platforms allow users to build content and export via SCORM to an LMS or use on their platform
✓ Courses can be taken off-the-shelf or have limited customisation options available (specific legal content cannot be modified)
✓ Custom courses can be built to suit clients’ internal policies & procedures
While robust legally, we found the modularised structure of the courses made them difficult to navigate and, in our opinion, impacted the user experience.
7. Allens – 5.6 / 10 ⭐⭐ Average
- SCORM only solution (no platform)
- Interactive course design
- Customisation available
- Core compliance topics
Legally robust and customisable, but lacks the flexibility of delivery options.
8. Sentrient – 5.5 / 10 ⭐⭐ Average
- Good range of core compliance topics
- Offers limited interactions
- Legal updates via external firm
- All courses use same format
During our market survey, we found the courses provided a good basic training experience. Customisation options are limited, and offshore staff don’t meet the requirements for an Australian solution.
Our conclusion
We conclude that Safetrac is the #1 rated online compliance training platform and provider for Australian businesses.
This is based on a comprehensive assessment of the market against a range of objective criteria including volume of course content, course quality and feature set of their online platforms.

Are you and your employees aware of how to protect personal information?
Are you confident of what information can be collected, retained and passed on to others?
Bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment can cause major harm to the wellbeing of individuals. It can have an impact on an individual’s health and happiness, affecting their ability to do their job. Breaches can incur heavy costs for organisations, including fines, loss of reputation and high levels of employee turnover.
By providing a whistleblowing policy, employees of an organisation can feel confident in reporting unethical conduct, dishonest or illegal activity. There are state and federal laws that protect whistleblowers.
Workplace sexual harassment is prevalent and pervasive: it occurs in every industry, in every location and at every level, in Australian workplaces.
The Respect@Work training module is designed to provide you with an understanding of what conduct constitutes sexual and gender-based harassment in the workplace.
Everyone has a role to play in preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. Safetrac’s Respect@Work training course will prepare learners with strategies to intervene when they see something that is not right, and address barriers that may be stopping action.
