Who is the DataHub for?

DataHub is currently available for authorised users from:

  • Registered training organisations (RTOs),
  • Government departments that deal with matters related to VET
  • Other VET-related bodies

What's available for RTOs?

RTOs can access data tools designed to help them better understand, evaluate, and improve their training delivery and student outcomes.

Currently, there are two products available on DataHub tailored for RTOs.

RTO VET Explorer

  • Download tailored data extracts for your own reporting

RTO Outcomes Explorer (New in 2025!)

  • Student satisfaction with aspects of training and providers
  • Employment outcomes
  • Further study outcomes

Data in RTO VET Explorer and RTO Outcomes Explorer will be updated annually.

Registering your RTO

NCVER sources information on all RTOs from training.gov.au (TGA), namely RTO ID, and the CEO email address in order to verify initial access. If an RTO has changed its name since the data were collected, the change may not be reflected in the products.

Only the CEO can register the organisation for access, they can then add organisation administrators and members.

For assistance with registration, logging in, and further support options, please visit the DataHub Help page.

Government departments and VET related bodies

Commonwealth, state and territory departments that deal with matters related to VET and other VET related bodies can access a range of tailored data products through DataHub.

Access is managed within each organisation by a primary contact person, who can then add organisation administrators and members.

If you're unsure who your nominated contact is or need help with access, contact our client support team support@ncver.edu.au for further information and assistance.
