Australian education institutions operate under intense regulatory scrutiny across multiple compliance domains.

Yet despite this interconnected web of obligations, most schools manage these critical policy areas using fragmented systems; spreadsheets for some policies, Word documents for others, shared drives for the rest.

This fragmentation isn't just inefficient, it's expensive, risky and increasingly unsustainable. This whitepaper examines the cost of policy fragmentation across Australian schools and demonstrates why consolidating compliance management delivers measurable benefits.

Key takeaways:

• What fragmented compliance systems look like

• The five key hidden costs of policy fragmentation

• How to overcome common concerns around changing compliance management systems
