ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. For information on Fee-Free TAFE please see Fee-Free TAFE - Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Australian Government.

2. Participation rates are derived by calculating the number of VET students with a usual residential address in an Australian state or territory, other Australian territories, or dependencies and where the state/territory is ‘Not known’ (excludes offshore population), as a percentage of the estimated Australian residential population in the corresponding age groups. Usual residential address refers to where the student usually resides rather than a temporary address a student relocates to go for training, work, or other purposes.
