Training and Skills Funding

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

To access funding under the National Skills Agreement, South Australia needs to meet certain requirements including allocating at least 70 per cent of commonwealth government funding for vocational education and training (VET) delivery and capital to TAFE and public training providers.

I can report that South Australia is meeting this requirement under the agreement. As a new agreement, comparable TAFE SA figures for the last four years is not available.
