In Defense of Expertise: The Value of Consultants in Writing TEQSA Applications
Contents
In recent times, the role of consultants in assisting institutions with TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency) applications has come under scrutiny from certain quarters. Critics—often driven by jealousy or a misunderstanding of the process—have cast doubts on the legitimacy of seeking external expertise. Among these detractors are those who, rather than recognising the achievements of organizations like Darlo Higher Education, resort to negative rhetoric fuelled by envy of our proven success.
Darlo Higher Education has successfully helped Australia’s largest HEPs – it does bring jealous narcs along with it though.
It’s time to set the record straight. Engaging consultants is not only ethical but also a smart and strategic choice for higher education providers navigating the complex TEQSA application process. Here’s why.
Expertise Makes the Difference
1. Consultants Bring Unparalleled Expertise
Consultants like those at Darlo Higher Education are professionals who specialize in understanding and interpreting the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF). These experts have years of experience working with institutions of varying sizes and complexities, helping them meet TEQSA’s rigorous requirements.
Navigating the TEQSA application process requires not only a grasp of regulatory language but also the ability to translate it into actionable steps tailored to an institution’s unique needs. This is precisely where consultants excel. Critics who claim otherwise either underestimate the complexity of the process or overestimate their own abilities.

2. Consultants Ensure Compliance
The stakes in higher education compliance are high. A single oversight can derail an application, resulting in delays, additional costs, or outright rejection. Consultants minimize these risks by conducting thorough reviews, identifying gaps, and ensuring that every aspect of the application aligns with TEQSA’s requirements.
Jealous critics who dismiss this value fail to recognize that institutions hiring consultants are prioritizing quality and compliance, not cutting corners. Far from undermining the process, consultants enhance its integrity.
Addressing the Critics
1. Success Breeds Jealousy
It’s no surprise that Darlo Higher Education’s consistent track record of success has attracted criticism from detractors. When you excel in your field, those who lack the expertise or drive to compete often resort to baseless accusations. This isn’t a reflection of Darlo’s methods or values—it’s a testament to our leadership in the higher education consultancy space.
The critics might find it easier to point fingers than to match our achievements, but their negativity does nothing to diminish the positive impact we’ve had on institutions across Australia.

2. Misconceptions About Outsourcing
Some critics argue that outsourcing parts of the TEQSA application process undermines an institution’s authenticity. However, this argument falls flat when you consider that consultants work collaboratively with institutions to ensure their unique mission and values shine through.
Darlo Higher Education doesn’t just “do the work” for clients; we empower them to present their best selves, highlighting their strengths while addressing areas for improvement. This collaboration results in applications that are not only compliant but also authentic and reflective of the institution’s identity.
