Most managed LMS vendors run a US privacy posture and quote in USD. Australian RTOs, schools, and independent teachers absorb the FX and have to bridge the Australian Privacy Principles themselves. Classentra ships Privacy Act 1988 + APP-aligned data handling, an OAIC-ready data-processing agreement, AUD-native checkout, and regional hosting available via organization agreement. Set up in 5 minutes on public pricing.
Most managed LMS platforms were built for the US and bolted on for Australia. The privacy policy talks about CCPA and HIPAA but not the Privacy Act 1988 + Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). The OAIC's Notifiable Data Breaches scheme is nowhere on the page. For Australian RTOs, schools, and corporate training providers, that's an immediate procurement friction point, and one that takes a DPO and a lawyer to resolve.
Pricing is the second pain. The page is in USD, your invoice is in USD, and you absorb the FX spread plus cross-border card fees on every renewal. Learner-facing checkouts in USD also depress conversion for AUD-priced courses. Australian learners abandon when the checkout currency doesn't match the marketing currency.
Classentra ships Privacy Act 1988 + APP-aligned data handling on every plan, an OAIC-ready DPA on the public legal page, AUD-native Stripe checkout with GST handled, and Australian/regional data hosting available via organization agreement. Talk to sales. Public pricing, no multi-year contract, no procurement marathon.
Most features below ship today. Australian data residency and bespoke DPAs come via organization agreement. Talk to sales for the procurement-reviewed deployment.
Default data-handling posture aligns with the Privacy Act 1988 and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles. Collection, use/disclosure, data quality, security, access/correction, all documented in the privacy policy on every plan.
Data-processing agreement published on the legal page, drafted to OAIC guidance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme baked in. Most Australian customers sign as-is or with light redlines. Organization plans support bespoke DPAs.
AUD-native checkout via Stripe. Subscriptions invoiced in AUD; GST handled by Stripe Tax. No USD invoices, no FX spread on renewals, no cross-border card fees on the learner-facing checkout. Public pricing page lists AUD rates.
Default hosting is in the US with standard contractual clauses today. Organizations that need learner data pinned to Asia-Pacific hosting can arrange residency via an organization agreement. Talk to sales. Useful for RTOs, K-12 schools, and public-sector procurement.
Gradebook, rubrics, certificates of completion, parent reports, blended in-person + live-online sessions. Same product Australian RTOs, schools, and independent teachers use to run VET courses, tutoring cohorts, and corporate L&D.
Monthly and annual billing on public pricing. No 3-year framework, no procurement marathon, no implementation consultancy retainer. Cancel at any time; export your data in CSV. Same product whether you're 1 teacher or 500 seats.
