TAFE SA

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:06): Supplementary: can the minister advise the house what KPIs the board is using to determine whether these bonuses are going to be paid and, in particular, whether quality and accreditation form any part of the decision-making as to whether these bonuses of hundreds of thousands of dollars will be received?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:06): It ought to be clear for the record that that is cumulatively, not individually, hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yes, I can get the KPIs, if they are available, the KPIs from the board on the consideration. But absolutely it is clear to me from the discussion that I have had with the board chair that the quality of the offering from TAFE is part of the consideration of whether or not the employees are due to receive their bonuses.
