Government funding of VET 2019

Introduction

In November 2017, the reporting framework for the new National VET Funding Collection was endorsed by Australian vocational education and training (VET) Ministers. This new approach to reporting provides information on the flow of VET government funds and insight into who provided funding, what was funded and who benefited. The collection scope, implemented over a three-year period, includes direct and indirect government funding for VET, including government assistance to employers for workforce training and apprenticeship employment.
