This study has described contemporary policy relating to VET in Australia and has asked the question: to what extent do the current laws relating to VET support the development of a national system of vocational education and training? It concludes that while VET legislation is in a process of transition, it is broadly consistent in content and purpose across the range of jurisdictions. It can therefore be argued that the regulation of the provision of VET has been reasonably effective in supporting policy implementation in the sector.
