          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT:</by>  Thank you. I have a few, so thank you for your patience. Can the minister provide information as to how many VET students are identified as having a disability as a percentage; of those, how many students with disabilities actually complete their studies? And a final more general question: is the minister able to provide a breakdown of the most common fields that are being studied by VET students and how those compare with corresponding available jobs on the jobs market?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:51):</by>  The report that I referred to was an NCVER report, so it's a federal body that is responsible for monitoring and reporting on our training system. They provide jurisdictional breakdowns for some of their data. This particular report was for SACE outcomes, so I am just clarifying—are you asking for those people with disabilities who are registered for SACE training and apprenticeships?</text>
