Debt collection for Registered Training Organisations

RTOs face deferred fees, withdrawals, shifting contact details and student debts that often emerge long after enrolment ends. eCollect has more than twenty years recovering outstanding course fees for private RTOs, VET providers and training organisations across Australia and New Zealand, using compliant, effective and industry-specific recovery strategies.

Why RTOs need specialist debt recovery

Student debt is unique: deferments, census-date withdrawals, failed payment plans and transient living arrangements make recovery complex. Students frequently change addresses, jobs and contact information, leaving internal teams unable to locate them. Traditional collection methods rarely work. Specialist recovery ensures ethical contact, protects your compliance obligations and stabilises cash flow while supporting the professional reputation of your RTO.

Our RTO Collections Process

A targeted workflow designed for transient students, delayed recovery cycles and the documentation requirements unique to RTO billing.

How we recover RTO debts

  • Recovery for arrears caused by late deferment or withdrawal

  • Action on failed or dishonoured payment plans

  • Skilled location of students with outdated contact details

  • Management of VET fee arrears and census-date misunderstandings

  • Escalation for non-responsive or evasive debtors

We locate students quickly and recover debts many RTOs assume are lost.
